There is good deal of inquiry as t.
the lack, for good while past, of Fen
nimore items in the HERALD. ant
thinking this thriving little burg de
serves better recognition at your hands

items as | can hastily sketch. The
ravishing notes Of Hampton's cross-cut
saw up in the village perhaps will add
inspiration to your scribe's thoughts as
he pens this.
General trade is undergoing season
of quietness characteristic of this sea.

however, seems to be booming under
the vigorous pressure of Him, Hide

village shaving hoops ready for

The ladies of the M. Z. Church and
congregation contemplate giving an
entertainment Ga Bazaar" / believe
they call iD some time in the early part
of April. for the purpose of raising
funds to improve the interior of their
church building. They want to put in
a new ceiling, new stoves, and in other
ways make it more safe and comfort
able. The Aid Society meets every
Wednesday afternoon, and cordially
invites the presence and cooperation
of all the ladies who feel interested in
the object. They don't ignore the CO.
operation of the male part of the COM
munity by any means, but altogether
likely will make special raid on them
for funds hereafter. The details of the
proposed entertainment will be given
as soon as decided on.
Protracted services are being held at
the M. E. Church every evening, and
in order not to interfere with that work

pended their weekly meeting.

The last of a series of Grant County
Teachers Meetings under the super.
vision of Supt. Harper. was held al
Fennimore on Saturday, Feb. 81. The
attendance was good, and the results
very satisfactory. The first subjec,
taken up for discussion was: Diagrams
as helps in teaching Grammatical
Analysis" illustrated by blackboard
exercises. The general discussion was
lively and suggestive, the majority con.
curing in the opinion that some good
system of diagraming is grand assis
lance in teaching the subject; and fol
breadth. neatness and simplicity, the
Reed & Kellogg system was considered
one of the best. The subjects taken IN
in the afternoon session were physiology
anatomy and hygiene. Mr.. Wieland
first gave a neat and comprehensive
sketch of the circulatory organs, illus.
trating by appropriate diagrams. Aftel
short discussion, Prof. Sylvester, O
Boscobel, spoke on the composition
structure, uses and articulation of the
bones. Many of his remarks were
illustrated by the presentation of part:
of the human skeleton. The session
closed after discussion of hygiene
with special reference to the effects o.
stimulants and narcotics on the human
system, and methods of teaching the
subject. These gatherings no doub
have proved extremely interesting ant
profitable to all who attended them
| and they bid fair to become still NOR,
potent for good in the future. If tn,
parents of the children taught in on
schools, as well as the teachers EN-
ployed, would take an active part i,
these gatherings, considering then
their meetings as we'll as the teachers
