and a look of indescribable surprise,
which bespoke his sentiments more
eloquently than audible expression
could convey them. said:
Fellow teachers, for such [ may
call you now-I heartily thank you for
this unexpected kindness. You have
taken me wholly by surprise. Words
cannot portray the gratitude which T

several schools, and while not meaning
anything derogatory to former pupils,
1 can truthfully say that regard the
Langdon pupils dearer than all others.
You were sef-governed. Your dill
gence, kindness and mannerly deport-
ment will ever be the most important
factor in my fondest recollections of
this city. 1t is great pleasure for me
to know that you appreciate my work
and that my friendship for you is re-
ciprocated.

sured. Whenever my lot may be cast
hereafter, this memorial will be con-
slant reminder Of pleasant days spent
among you. Again allow me to thank

those present that he was fsvorably i'm
pressed with the locat ion and if the
people Of Langdon accept the PROPOSE
ton guarantees to have the mill in
operation by November lst. He also
stated that an after consideration
would be the adding an electric light
plant. Mr.. Skene and his hackers have
chosen one of the best points in the
state for putting in mill. Our ship
ping facilities are good and our supply
of hard wheat inexhaustible while the
progressive strides being made by our
city indicate UNSURPASSED improve
ments ahead Let us welcome all such
enterprising business men and assist
them in establishing a trade which will

nearest house, the other had to support
the dying man, to prevent him from
falling from the cutter.
