All applicants must come prepared
with paper pen and ink. The series
of the examination embrace three, of
which two are local and the third a
final one, under the supervision of the

The literary gets better with each
meeting, and the house was crowded
Friday evening. The first nine of the
new band played and was loudly ap-
plauded but it remained for the kid or
second nine to bring down the house.
They were immense and their leader,
Master Hill, was right from leader
vile. After the literary exercises were
over, the Modern Woodmen gave ball
which was well attended and at which
a good time was had.

excellent address from Adjntant Gen

the reunion was due to the effort Of
A. w. Strong, Post Commander.
The teachers meeting in this city
was quite largely attended last Satur-
day. and while there was considerable
interest manifested. there was not in
terest there should have been, when
the object of the meeting, and the
amount of intelligence that was there,
is taken into consideration. However.
each meeting develops more enthusi-
asm than the preceding one, and if
they are continued they may yet
reach more perfect ideal. The next
meeting will be held in Great Bend, on
Saturday, January 9th, and every
teacher in the county should be there
and prepared to say something.

Otto Brand was at Great Bend a
few days ago and supplied the poultry
market with load of fine turkeys.
Our village school master took a few
days leave from our burg to spend

We thought it better this year to at
tend mask ball in some nighboring
city than to incur the expense of hav-
ing one in our own spacious town hall.
The Olmitz school did not take any
vacation for the holidays. The inter-
est is SO great and the spirit of inquiry
so good that they could not afford to
lose single day.
What is the reason We cannot have
one of our teachers meetings at
Olmitz? They have been held in near
ly every little town in the county; now
why not come to our town for change?
