MIppLErowN, Nov. 2O--Therc was a
short session of the county Teachers In
stitute this morning. II Was very sparsely

of the ladies in attendance this morning
appeared armed with grip sacks. cabas
and umbrellas ready to dispersc imma-
diately school was closed.
Devotional exercises were conducted by
the Rev. j. Beers of the Episcopal Church.
Addresses were made by Professors \.
Thomas Smith and George lIynson. Secre-
tary Miss NJ. r. l.. Withers made the usual
report including resolutions of thanks to
those aiding the teachers in being present
at the institute.
The statistics show this institute to have
had an attendance of ll6 as against 107 at
last years meeting. The question of next
place of meeting was left with the superin-
tcndent. Institute was then formally ad-
journcd.
There is a general feeling of qualification
over the great success Of the institute.
This feeling found expression among the
teachers, who. i'll numerous instances, per
sonally thanked County Superintendent
