Mrs. Annie Z. Day, of Weiser
closed the Mineral school on the 23rt

of declarations, rectations, selec
readings, etc. One little boy spoke

how she could make cake of which
one bite would make a full meal fol-
anyone. The teacher, in an excel

present with cover the Hill to the
Poorhouse. y A gentleman then
made a few remarks on the necessity
and advantages of education. One
of the trustees was then called on,
who stated that he had not much to
say, but would say that whenever
they wanted teacher for the Mineral

Were the Coxey requests granted, the

they are succeeding to some extent;
