Wednesday afternoon the physics
class visited the depot and round
house for the purpose of getting II
practical idea of the workings of steam
and electricity. The courtesy and
kindness Of Messrs Bailey and STREET
ton who took especial interest in ex,
planning these intricacies will long be
remembered by those present. The
thanks of the class are due to these
gentlemen, and also to the engineer
who gave the class a nice little ride on
his engine.

At the close of the session today, just
as Conductor Riste was about to dis
miss the teachers, MIR. Wilson stepped
forward and asked permission to be
allowed to say q few words. His re-
quest was granted and in neat and
appropriate speech he presented Prof,
Riste with very beautiful Knight
Templar's watch charm, on behalf of
the normal students and teachers of
the county. 1t was thought that the
Professor could not be "rattled", but
this deserved compliment coming as
it did In the form of a surprise par
ty", completely and speedily overcame
any such suspicion, and all are agreed
that he blushed as prettily as any
school girl, and it was some time be-
fore he regalned sufficient equilibrium
to express his appreciation and thanks
which he did in a very neat manner.
The Professor knew that a presenta-
ton was to be made but supposed that
Superintendent Tadlock was the one
who was to be honored, so that his
surprise was all the greater when the
charm was given to him.

The Normal just closing has Binn(s)
one Of the most successful ever held
in this county. In point of atten-
dance and good work done it has had
no superior, The teachers came here
to work and as there was nothing to
attract their attention otherwise, every
one feels to reJoyce that he attended
this year. Much credit is due the
management for the success of this
Institute, their Am-ls high and we fee
grateful to them for their efforts il
our behalf. And they are quite re-
ligiously inclined, too, for the County
Superintendent is said to attenC
Church with great regularity.
All classes of teachers are repre-
sented, and we find the many kinds
OF occupations there, such as Porter
a Taylor, a Carpenter, a Miller al
Archer, Page, all the various Smiths
and the railroad company even is rep
resented by Breakey. We find
few birds of rare beauty, such as tn
, Finch, Martin, Brown thrush, ETC.
