highly applauded and eneorcd. The
best feature of all was Master Je-

smash" "Dutchy" smashed every
thing in general and kept the audi
ence in roars Of laughter and con-
tinued applause. The school will
flourish like a green bay tree with
an. uniring school board to look
after and Prof. Smith TO direct the
course Of study. County School
Superintendent and Mrs. Sinnott
and children came down from Mt.
Home to see the performance. and
the greetings they received from
their many old Ferry friends were
numerous and hearty.
