The casket was opened and all who wished

Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Hopkins We're very
pleasantly surprised one day last week by
a visit from Mrs. H. grandmother, Mrs.
Lucy Bullock, an old lady nearly % years of
age, who resides in the lower part of the
town. As this was her first visit to her
grand daughter it was very enjoyable oc-
casion, not only to ''aunt" Lucy, but to Mr.
and Mrs. H. as we'll, who considered il a
rather remarkable visit, considering the adj
vanced age of their guest. but the old lady
was equal to the task and enjoyed the hap
pest day of ner life in the presence of her
granddaughter. Mrs. B. is enjoying re-
markably good health and seems likely to
reach the completion of a century. Nav it
be vouchsafed to her to reach the desired
goal-a hundred years-is the sincere wish
of the many friends of dear old ''aunt"
Lucy Bullock.
Last Thursday afternoon the members of
the W. G. I. U. held their annual meeting
at Elwell's hall to choose officers and trans
act other business that came before them.
After the regular routine of business was
through with the following officers were
chosen for the ensuing year: Mrs Annie
Batchelder, president; Mrs Nellie Dckev,
vice president; Mrs. Sarah Orcutt, secre-
tary Mrs. Lucy Rhodes, treasurer. At the
close of the meeting tables were spread and
picnic supper partaken of by their invited
friends, including of course the husbands of
the members of the society. After supper
the enjoyment of the evening consisted of
reading by Mrs. Frank Orcutt and Mrs Ada
Brer, determinations by Miss Lolita Orcutt
and Miss Leona Miller, music and singing
by Mrs E. B. Elwel and others, Mrs. Ada
Brier followed in a few remarks for the
good of the order. Messrs. Dickey, Hills
and Brown We're called upon and responded
IN very pleasing manner, speaking of the
pleasure it gave them to be present wishing
the w. c. t. Z. all the success possible, and
hoping the organization would flourish and
multiply i'll numbers year by year and be-
come power for good in our midst. which
they doubted not it would. After indulgng

OF The different classes were highly compli-
mentary to the scholars Readily and quick
ly came the answers, singly or collectively
as the case might be, plainly showing that
each scholar had by diigent delving got
right down to hard pan during the time in
several departments of their studies and had
got there to stay. The exercises in grammar
and arithmetic interested us greatly, and we
honestly believe that there is not school in
any town city in the county with the
same number of scholars Of the age of those
who composed the two classes named that

that afternoon, and take consider
able pride in the fact that the school at the
Cove is second to none of its class to be
found anywhere. The best Of teachers are
employed and money is literally spent in
providing the best schools possible. The
method of teaching as taught by Mr. HAYES
is refreshing change from those we have
observed in former visits to this school He
believes in progression, and brings to his
aid the modern ideas as taught at Orono,
infusing new life and new energies into the
minds of the scholars, the potency of which
was plainly visible in the energetic and live
manner displayed by the pupils in their
prompt replies to every demand made upon
them. We believe teachers are born, not
made, and whoever looks upon the frank
and open countenance of Mr.. Hayes, and
catches the sparkle of intelligence that
shines through the windows of his soul
(the eyes) will be fully convinced that he
was born for the profession he so ably and
so worthily adorns. Probably none will feel
more delighted than the scholars to know
that Mr.. Dickey has secured the services of
Mr.. Hayes for the winter term, and as only
about two weeks more of vacation remain,
they will not have long to wait before they
will hear the tinkling of the bell calling
them again to manipulate the crayon and
pencil.
