Fl NO COMluS CStub Cduscs llUTC utiiSut- full thrills of anticipation to both patrons and scholars of school district No. z (Rock House) than their annual exhibi- tion and picnic. The cosey little school house, freshly renovated and handsome ly decorated with flowers, was on the af- ternoon of June 2S filled with an admir- ing audience of ladies and gentlemen, who listened with manifestations of delight to the young misses and boys in their different exercises, each vieing with the other, as we'll earned applause greeted their efforts. The very creditable man. ner in which each performed their parts evidenced that to their teacher, Mrs G.. B. Tucker, who had labored long and ear nestly for their advancement, they were indebted for the successful rendering of the program. At the close of the exer- cises, Miss Allie T. Bradley, one of the pupils, in a few we'll chosen remarks, pre- sented Mrs Tucker with a magnificent steel engraving elegantly framed, a spon- etaneous tribute from her scholars as memento of their love and esteem. For a few moments, Mrs Tucker was over powered and unable to respond, but a few tears soon relieved her and she was herself again. All now adjourned to the lawn in front of the school house, which had been denuded of it's superfluous her bage, studded with croquet sets, swings and hammocks, invitingly suspended from the limbs of the trees. A goodly portion proceeded to make merry as fan cy dictated, while others commenced to unpack baskets, the contents of which were quickly transferred to a long table beneath the trees and soon became load ed with choice dishes of cookery, for which the ladies of the district are fa- nous, together with fruits and confec- tionary, flanked with freezers of ice cream and pails of lemonade. The su- perabundance of good things served to prolong the festivities until the approach ing twilight gently warned that the time had arrived for hand shakes and good byes, all hoping to be spared to meet again at the next annual.
