tween Elk River and Princeton. Miss
Wallace, of the former place, gaining
second among the girls, and Clement
Howard, of Princeton, second among
the boys. Monticello was unfortunate
ly left behind in the race this time.
All agree in pronouncing the decision
a just and satisfactory one. The music
was mostly furnished by local talent,
though Miss Glidden, of Princeton,
gave one of the best selections. It is
uncertain where the next contest will
be held. We hope it may come to
Princeton.
The Dickens social given by the
pupils Of the High school on the Sat-
urday preceding the contest was we'll
attended and highly enjoyed by all.
Though no apology is needed or in
tended, it is but just to both teachers
and pupils to say that the affair was
very hastily arranged and gotten up
during the week it was given. Only
one rehearsal was held as the teachers
were fully determined not to trespass
upon school time in its preparation.
After the literary part in the High
school room Prof. Simpson invited
everybody across the hall to science
room where the pupils had furnished
light refreshments which were served
free to all, and a lively social was held
until the bell rang flights out'' at ten,
when all departed feeling gratifed
that the purpose for which the enter
tainment was held had been accom-
plished; namely: the securing of funds
to defray the expenses of our contest
ants to the declamatory association at
Elk River, for which the small admit
tance fee had been charged.
On Friday Of this week our schools
close a very successful term
for the holiday vacation of
two weeks We say very success
full for various reasons, among which
are that the different rooms have been
unusually full; that the health of the.
pupils has been remarkable bringing
both punctuality and attendance above
average; and, last but not least, on ac-
count of the good amount of work
cheerfully and willingly done. The
best of feeling has prevailed both
among teachers and pupils and we
look forward to a profitable year so
spiciously begun. A pleasant vaca-
tion to all.
Princeton will have a farmers insti-
tute Jan. % and "a. This will be good
news to all farmers and will be highly
appreciated by those who have been
fortunate enough to attend the in
structive meetings of previous insti-
tutes. The village was very lucky in
securing this for these dates were the
only ones left untitled when our appli-
cation was received. Prof. o. G. Gregg
will conduct the meetings assisted by
an able corps of aides and the ladies
will be given an opportunity to meet
and discuss ''ways and means'' at
cooking school held in connection.
Every farmer and those interested in
farms, who will attend the first FORE
noon session of the State farmers in
stitute, will be given a valuable agri-
cultural book of over $50 pages. Re-
member these books are given at the
first forenoon session only. This is the
Institute Annual and cannot be bought
at the book stores. It is estimated to
be worth from SIS to $25 by those who
have made a thorough examination.
This book is made up by the most ex-
perienced workers in the country.
Invitations are being sent out by
Mile Lacs Division No. 3, U. R. K. P
for the military ball which that organ
ization will give Dec. 31st. Every
thing will be done to make this the
event of the season and the boys ex-
pect to have a good attendance. The
division has secured the services of
drill master and if possible will give
unique display drill before the grand
march. Excellent progress is being
made and the drill promises to be we'll
worth seeing. Tickets for the dance 81.
Il: A. S. No. 1, will furnish the supper.
Hay shippers are the latest to kick
on shipping facilities. There are oyer
100 tons of baled hay piled up on the
railroad right of way waiting for an
opportunity to ship. Sometimes Is or
20 cars will be set in at night and the
company kicks if they are not all
loaded ready for shipment the next
morning t"- " .f..
