CORRESPONDENCE
FEANcoNIA STATION, W. S. R. r /,
Apl. 16, 1S95.-The closing exercises of
public school No. Z, Mt. Vernon Dis.
trict, conducted during the past six
months by Miss Fannie Weadon as
principal, with Miss Leila Beatty as as
sistant, came off at the school building
this evening and it was an occasion Of
much interest, not only to the pupils
themselves, but also to their friends
who were present in large numbers.
The two teachers named were assisted
by Miss Maggie Kerby, teacher of a
public school at Cameron, and well did
She perform that duty. Theinterior of
the building was tastefully decorated
with evergreens and ivy and presented
a most pleasing appearance. The even
ing's entertainment began with the
filing in of seven boys of the school,
each one bearing letter covered with
ivy spelling out the word welcome"
repeating the same in concert. The
New Mittens" was recited hy yBathhurst,
Sims; "a Boys Pocket" by
Albert Broders; "a Loving Little
Girl" by Miss Tot Grehan; "Buy
my Dolls" by Miss Dora Simms;
"When the Crops Laid" by Robert
Talberi; "Grandma's Angel" by Miss
Nellie Simms; when it Comes to the
Pinch, by Herbert Hirst; Dialogue. by
Ray and Roy Lambert, after which "a
Boys Complaint" was rected by
Ernest Lyles; "Harvey's Arithmetic"
by John Sheldon; "Small Dressmaking,"
by Miss Margie Hirst; Boys Rights"
by J. Lambert; The First Letter. by
Miss Mamie Rogers; "The Sick Dollie,"
by Miss Mary Lambert; 'sThe Little
Ones," by Miss Carrie Lambert; THE
Curfew Shall Not Ring Tonight" by
Miss May Hirsi; Watching for
Crumbs" by Miss Mary Talbert; and
Girl of the PERIOD by Misses Phoebe
Gilingham, Norma Talbert and Julia
Sheldon. All the participants acquitted
themselves well. An amusing comedy
oferrors, entitled the Country School,, ("
participated in by a number of the
scholars of both sexes followed. We
would mention some of those TAX
ing part Compositions on Bones
and Boys, by Ned Grehan and
Herbert Hirst, respectively; para
dy on the Old Oaken Bucket by Mi; S
Elton Bowling, another on Maud Null
fer by Miss Martha Lyles. While the
different classes We're called on for their
recitations and the mistakes purposely
made, it carried us back to our school
boy days, when each one had to give
some verbal or written excuse for tard'
mess and the punishment meted out to
all such. Miss Kerby played the part
of pedagogue most capitally to the great
delight of those present and with entire
self possession. The visit of the ex-
aiming committee and the drill by the
school by them was most ludicrous in
the extreme Those exercises being
complet ID the entire school were then
treated to a liberal supply of cake. ccn-
fectionery, &c, and thus came t, an
end this most pleasant affair. The
Misses Weadon and Beatty are to 'e
commended for the high state of e1-
cellence they have given to this school,
and we are sure their efforts have met
with most signal success. The District
school board will do well to appoint
them again aslteachers the next session.

Great Northern Coast Line Open a gain.
The Great Northern track In the
vicinity OF the tweIve-mile post has
been frequently Slide bound. and the
result is that traffic has been stopped
for weeks at time during the present
winter. There is a high bluff at this
point ana the earth kept sliding dorm
as fast as 1t was shoveled away and it
was found impossible to kesp the road
opea A short time since the road was
reconstructed at a considerable dis
lance from the biuff. and the result Is
that It can now be kept open. The
trains are now running on schedule
time.
