SMALL MATTERS.
A social at the School Hall Thursday
evening deserves some mention for the
enjoyment it afforded to all present. A
cake walk was one feature of the amuse-
ment, a cracker eating contest was
another. Three hungry men entered in
the latter. 7. r. McGlenn won with
great ease, destroying dry crackers with
frightful voracity. A number of sill
houette likenesses were produced by
artists, and the resemblance to the
originals was striking. Music by Misses
Blair and Wescott enlivened the occasion.
Other socials will be held soon.
Do not forget that Thursday is Di-
rectors' Day.
Prof. Burns was driven to FairpOint
Saturday morning, taking the c., l.. and
w. train for his home in Canton.
Burns thought that two of the most
grinding things on earth, and ones whic h
illustrate most vividly the cruel irony of
events. are for the defeated candidate to
move that his successful opponents NOM
ination be made unanimous, and for
rejected suitOr to attend the wedding of
the girl married to the fellow who did
suit her
Some invidiOus person spoke of the
group of excellent silhouette likenesses
hung on the wall in the hall, as rogue's
gallery.
Many inquiries are made about Mrs.
Jessie Morton Carroll, who heretofore
has been a member of the County Insti-
tute, and her numerous friends are glad
to know that she is happy and prosper
ing in her new home at Kansas City
DR.. Findley gives many gems from his
personal experience, and this is one,
"NeoeT under any circumstances take
pupils conduct as personal insult, and
never hold grudge against pupil
President Porterfeld, too, sometimes
makes quiet bon mot He said, "Mr.
Anderson is our treasurer; he is good
treasurer, and handsome man."
"WhO can help loving sweet, beauti-
full little girl?" said DIR. Findley. "Or a
sweet, beautiful big girl, either" was in
the thought of every young man in the
class.
The progressive teachers from the
southern part of the county are coming
in in numbers this week, and more of
them are expected.
Beallsville is numerosuly and ably rep
resented.
Some of the teachers are not in favor
of holding an institute next summer on
account OF the Worlds Fair. The mat
ter was discussed at the MONDAY meet
ing on Monday by n. c. Nichols and 9th
ers. The constitution provides that an
institute shall be held annually. After
the discussion noIice was given by E. L..
Workman, chairman of executive com
mittee, that an amendment would be of
fered changing this clause.
Receive proposals rather than give
them. That is good advice, is it not,
girls ?"-Dr. Findley.
If persons with shoes known to be
squeaky would either not walk at all
through the halls during recitation time,
or tiptoe through as softly as possible, a
great favor would be conferred OIL in
StructOrS and learners alike. 1t is one of
the indications of gentlemanliness not to
annoy others.
The Everett piano, kindly loaned by
c. J. LaRoche, of Bellaire, is proving
the favorite Mr. LaRoche offered to
furnish pianos for the entire perform
ances, and it is to be regretted that his
liberality was not accepted. His propo
sition to place one piano in the Court
House Hall to compete with competi-
tors might also have been accepted with
profit.
What is wrong with the "irrepressible
this summerp
Jeffers, of Beallsville, looks lonely
boarding with seven girls. lie patheti-
cally petitions the executive committee
to furnish another gentleman to stay
with him.
} Forty or fifty of the pedagogues visit
ed the Jail Tuesday evening. 1t was
amusing to hear some of the ladies prom
ising to be good if Sheriff Scott would let
them out of the dungeon.
Some brave teachers rendered valuable
assistance to the fire department Tues
day.
