Dongola" is a peculiar
tannage of Goat skins, a pro-
cess that has revolutionized
the leather industry within
the last few years, having It's
origin in the efforts of Amer
lean leather manufacturers to
initiate the best makes of
French Kid. 1t is hardly
necessary to say that they
have more than accomplished
their object, as French Kid
has almost ceased to be 3

In Memoriam.

At the annual meeting of the
Ladies Missionary society of the Pres
byterian church, the following
memorial was read:
Our society was organized February Is
1888, eight years ago. with Mrs. Katie NJ.
Brown president.
On May "A, 1889, we mourned our loss. which
was her eternal happiness.
Through the dOOrWayS of our little church
passed the mortal remains of the first of our
number to Ego Home"
Now, nearly seven years later, we have
laid in Gods Acre" another of our number.
Mrs Tillie HutZel joined our society in
November, 1892.
Endowed with a remarkably cheerful
spirit. and an active. cultivated intellect of
grand powers. we had learned greatly to de-
pend on her, and esteemed her for her win
some ways.
To as she has left precious heritage in
the memory of her modest willingness for all
duties, her unchanging cheeriness of man
ner. and patience with all.
So, may we make our lives sublime:
Seeing before u.s. on the sands of time,
Footprints of those departed.
Let us take heart again and,
Learn to labor and to wait.
BY ORDER OF SOCIETY.

Kangaroo Calf.

kangaroo Calf is genu-
inc calf skin, tanned by a
new process, which adds great
strength and service to the
skin, with softness, pliability
and neatness of appearance.
The skins are finished on
the grain or hair side, which
is the opposite of all other
tannages of calf skins. The
upper of the Security School
Shoe" is made from the best
selection Of Kangaroo Calf.
Each pair hats an outside back
strap of this same material,
and in addition, an inside
linen back stay. The tip is
from the best Oak Sole leath-

purpose, and the sOles, coun-

wish to call your attention to the fact
that teachers are not entitled to their

reports are necessary in order that
clerks may make complete reports to
the county superintendent who, in
turn, must make an annual report to
the state superintendent. / wish to
avoid the trouble and annoyance
caused by few omissions. Blank
term reports may be had of the dis
trict clerk or at this Office.
Respectfully,
