Laurel iron Works.

LAUREL IRoN Works, March l5.-
Jennewine school closed on the
Sth inst, J. Bowen Reed. teacher.
We did not witness the close but
learn they had quite an interesting
time. Mr.. Reed taught a very sue
cessful term AMI was universally
loved by patrons and pupils.
Oak Grove closed on the 18th. L.
d. Sisler, teacher. This school has
always had the honor for their taste
in decorating the house. Had
I school exercises until p. NJ. when
the people enjoyed good speech
from one Of our venerable citizens.
Uncle Jack" Baker. Although he
is nearing So years of age, he is
seemingly as bright and lively as
young man. Would that such men
could live always. Mr.. Sisler treat
ed the school to % pounds of candy
and four dozen oranges. He spoke
to the school telling them that the
winter of 50 would never be obliter-
ated from his mind While speaking
he and the scholars could not sup
press the tears. Exercises at night
consisted of recitations and decla-
nations. Besides the school, pieces
were spoken by Miss Bette Lyons.
Messrs. Charlie Hare, VIM. Lyons,
james Selby and Ross Ryan. The
flourishing on the beard executed by
w. c. Ley, was eomplimented by
many. Music by the Sisler brothers.
The teacher was the recipient of a
beautiful bouquet from Miss Mama

Rev. l.. Warman made a sale of
his personal property last week, and
will start with his family to Kansas
the 23nd inst, where he will make
his future home. The people are
very 10th to give him up. He says
there arc Others to fill his place, but
we think not.
An infant son of VIM. Kussart has
been very low with pneumonia, but
is now recovering under the treat
ment of DR.. Hobert.
We come to the defense of the
young ladies of our community, who,
we think, have been misrepresented
by a reporter from here He stated
in his locals two weeks, that there
would never be another young lady
of Cheat Neck married, for the
reason that jealousy was too prevail
emit and that they would seek every
way possible to break engagements.
Surely this must have been written
unthoughtedly, for he knows that
such cannot be the case. We, as the
young ladies of Cheat Neck, unite in
saying, as for jealousy, we never
knew 8 spark of the same in our
hearts, and are as free from ever
breaking an engagement between
others, as the sun is free to shine
upon us. We do not propose to en-
gage in the defense of the bachelors,
which was written by Jones Ridge
correspondent last week, but will do
as the old man once said: ave
never bother ourselves about any
thing that don't meddle u.s.
Woodgroye school will close on
the 1.-THE inst, Miss Minnie Reay,
teacher. Miss Reay promises an in
teresting time.
Geo Donaldson, of Oliphant Fur
mace, is visiting relatives here.
We are living at a point halfway

whistle of the train at Fairchance.
Mrs. Hattie Goodwin will 90 to
Fairchance the LIST of April, where
she and her husband will go to
housekeeping. We are sorry to
lose Mrs. Goodwin from our social
circle.
