RIG CREEK Jan. 10

BIG CREEK, Jan. Is, 1896.
Ed. Register-Our school closed on
Friday, January II, after a successful
term of six months. Miss Minnie
Thomas of Brunot was our teacher
this year. The attendance has been
very good, the pupils have advanced
rapidly in their respective studies, and
Miss Minnie has given entire satisfac-
ton in every respect. During her
short stay among US she won many
friends. and especially endeared herself
to the pupils by her kind, Christian
disposition.
In the afternoon (of the last day. af-
ter the recitations and declarations,
the pupils and visitors engaged in an
exciting spelling match. No. 2s gained
the victory, coming out ten tallies
ahead. Then we bid each other Good
bye," and started homeward, sorry
that it was 'the last day of school,"
We hope our directors will not fail
to secure Miss Minnie to teach for us
next year. A PUPIL.
