People may think we would get tired
telling the nice things about our citi-

ten by Prof II. f. Triplett, Supt of
Ennis public school, in which school
Miss Virginia Tomlinson is teaching
her second year We wish we could
publish the entire letter, but it is too
long. We must remember that all the
time Miss Virginia has been so i'll as to
barely be able to get to the school room
and do her work, and then we can be-
gin to realize the meaning of her com
pliment. Prof. Triplett says: "Her room,
18th grade, of young ladies, in the best
taught, and best managed in our city
schools, and we have several most eX-
cellent teachers. 49,. In the Dallas
Exposition and State Fair, against the

ted schools, our school competed in the
Educational Department. Miss Vir-
ginia Tomlinson's 9TH grade won first
premium over all in this state eX-
hibit. :" Everyone most heart
! lily congratulates her on her excellent
work, and are glad that her health is
gradually improving. BARBARA.
