grippe goes hard with him Have
patience Squire and you will pull
through all right.

just recovering from an attack of s. la
grippe" Mrs. X. is still improving.
Mr. VIM Baird has returned-but
still looks badly. He will not take his
shift in the mine until he recuperates
somewhat from his recent illness.
Last weeks communication was un-
avoidahly delayed by an accident hap
pening to our vehicle-causing us to
miss the mail at Inwood. We will en-
deavor to be on time in the future.
Our County superintendent, Mr..
Keesecker, was in this neighborhood
last week, and from what we could
ascertain, we opine was not very IA
vorably impressed with the modas Oper-
andi of several pedagogues above here.
We regret to note the sudden death
of Mr.. Jonathan Thatcher-one of our
oldest and most respected citizens-his
jovial presence and pleasant manner
will be sadly missed among his large
circle of friends. Mr.. Thatcher was
esteemed by all who knew him and we
mourn his loss sincerely.

row to the Hesse farm, near Jones
Spring. Mr.. Hays gives up his shop
in accordance with medical advice.
His eyes being diseased. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hays are good neighbor and kind clev-
er people, we shall miss them. Wish
you abundant success, friend Hays, in
your agricultural endeavor
We need lice, earnest, practical.
honest teachers, men who will honest
ly endeavor to earn their salaries, not
simply put in the time.
Teaching Is, in our humble opinion
a high vocation, a noble calling! The
training Of the youth of our country is
one of great responsibility-the mould
ing and shaping of the infant minds
and budding faculties of our boys and
girls should arouse and develop all that
is noble and manly and best in the
hearts of our teachers !

ton was rendered them by Mrs. M. S.
Grantham and everything went mer.

Luther ! We say, as did old Rip Var
Wrinkle, may you live long and be
happy" The inevitable "belline
crowd" assembled in the evening anC
woke the echoes land everything else
with their m discc-d. The succeeding
dav, dinner was given the bride anC
groom by Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Bishop
1t was an elegant affair and the table
would reflect credit on city chef.
