share OF applause.
At the close of the meeting the writer was
called on for speech. and responded with
some impromptu remarks.
We think the patrons OF this school should
be encouraged by the f1atterIng way In which
everything passed of. One Of the pressing
needs Of the school is better school house.
There Is some discussion Of the matter now.
We hope 1t may materilize into neat school
building. We find Miss ellis quite popular
as q teacher.
MIR. Baker kindly invited us to spend the
night. and as we had recently been unwell
accepted his hospitality for the night.
He has most pleasant family, and q most
kind and entertaining mother-in-law living
with him. Mr.. Baker showed us over his
farm next morning. He has some fine 6orn
and cotton. He has discovered new w9y to
plant corn. Those who have not found n
new way to make corn ought TO learn G Mr..
Baker. X. ). &.
