SCHOOL is OUT.

SChUOL 10 OU L.
With Thursday of this week the
public schools of this city closed
for the summer vacation. The
years work has been that of
smoothness and success. The in
structors, from Prof Jolley down,
have proven faithful and competent,
fact which the steady and sure
advancement made by all pupils
will verify. 1t Is not at all probable
that any school board in the state
can produce proof of better results
for the school year of 1912 than
that of Mineral Point. In the
High School department there were
eight graduates, as follows:
ANNIE BEAUMONT,
SARAH CoNNAuGHToN,
SALLGE HADFIELp,
NAME c. KENDALL.
SUSIE LITTLE,
MARGARET REENEs,
W. C. REYNOLDS.
IDA TREwEEK.
The commencement exercises took
place yesterday forenoon at the Nj.
4. church which was tastily decor
ated with flowers, etc. for the oc-
casion. The graduates in the pre-
paration and delivery of their
essays, displayed intellectual ability
of no mean order, and if the same
spirit of determination to succeed,
which has characterized their lives
thus far, predominates in their
future career, theirs are destined to
be successful lives.
Topics of essays by the graduates
were as follows:
Salutatory, The Art of Reading Little,
War or Peace-Sarah Connaughton.
Influence Of woman-Mame C. Kendall.
The River of History-Sallie Hadfeld.
"WhyT'-Ida Treweek
Our Country-W. c. Reynolds.
An Aim in Life-Margaret Reeves.
Buds and Blossoms Annie Beaumont.
Valedictory Name &, Kendall.
MEMORIAL Sunday was fittingly
observed at the NJ. K. church this
year, services being held in the
morning. In accordance with Gus
tom the members of Geo. H. Legate
Post assembled at their hall, form
ed line of march, accompanied by
the Sons Of Veterans, and proceeded
to the church. Rev. j. IL. McManus,
pastor of the church, preached an
able sermon. He referred to the
volunteers of '6l as the most gal.
liant and self.sacrifcing soldiers the
world has ever known, and portrayed
the great blessings abounding on
every hand because of the victory,
The commanding officers were con.
ceded as peerless, but without the
volunteer they would have been
helpless. 1t is, then, to the common
soldier that the country owes main.
ly its debt of gratitude. These
were the points brought out, and no
one possessing a faculty for reason
ing is going to differ very much
Herewith.
A male quartet mastery rendered
some patriotic selections, and the
congregation joined in more familiar
songs.
In all it proved one of the most
intellectual and pleasing services of
the kind yet held in Mineral Point.
SOME parties in this vicinity have
experimental in sending away for
wall paper, which, to put 1t mildly,
has resulted in much inconvenience
and no gain. Occasionally a cent or
two a roll may be saved, but this is
more than overbalanced by the
freight and the extra roll secured to
make sure of having enough, and
besides, there is the tedious job Of
trimming 1t is always the best
and safest policy to buy at home.
In wall the lack of variety and
beauty cannot be used as an excuse
for sending away, for there is a no
more complete stock to be found
outside the very large cities than is
on sale in Mineral Point this
