District Is school is out this COM
ing Friday. Although it took three
different teachers to teach seven
months of school and the action of
the board in this matter is questioned
by some. We think the last two
months were both successful and
profitable.
Four different parties in this coun-
try will irrigate garden and potato
patch this year that will be their first
experience. III. NJ. HallOck has res
ervoir ditch almost large enough to be
called canal and at considerable
height above the field and orchard TIC
be Watered. He has the cinch on the
potato business this year.
This country turned out enmasse d
week ago last night to attend the
school exhibition in district 4. The
program was interesting and duly ap-
preciated. John Cutler, in our opinion
carried off the hOnors. j. Z. Barclays
school helped largely and we are told
that in the terms just closed both he
and Miss McCollum, the district 4
teacher, added to their reputation as
teachers. The affair was to have
come off the Friday night before, but
owing to the wind was postponed. II
the first date had been favorable, the
jam that was there would undOubted
~ have been uncomfortably added to-
Everybody was there. The old folks
to listen to the boys speak their first
pieces. The youths without partners
to enjoy themselves watching those
that did rustic seats if they happened
to come late. How proudly the fel-
lows with girls marched up to get q
front seat for their Ella or Jennie OF
Clara or Daisy as the case might be
They had fiend of a fiddler and ar
African what-is-it. Then the young
married people were out with Their
first babies that were just too lovely
until they SlObbered buttermilk al
over themselves. And of course there
was the kid that cried and had to be
taken out doors and spanked. And al
a late hour they went home, some
hurriedly, some alone, and some
slower. And amongst the crowd by
himself because no one would take
charge of him was L. Z. NATIC.
