me also springs of WATER" the present
owner of the place, Mr.. Benson, called out,
"We have found the WE'LL" Now, David's
well, which never failed, was sought of all
the neighborhood for its crystal GOODNESS
40 forty years or more ago. When Chand-
Ter Wakefield bought the place and moved
Dunklee's shop there, the old well was
covered. Grass grew over it and after a
time no man knew its place. The present
possessor has been very DESTROYS to fnd.it,
but had about despaired of succeeding
when, as he was setting piece of old gas
pipe for foundation to piazza beam, he
struck directly upon the fat stone cover Of
the old well. Upon investigation he found
four feet of good water, which will un
doubtedly again prove a blessing 70 the
community in time of drought.

rated by committee. Refreshments were
served, and there was a program of must
cal selections, Prof. Miller's brother, Z. II.
Miller, being one of the soloists. The

singing. Rev. E. G. Cobb spoke on be-
half of the people and students of Flor

picious occasion when all can express
their interest in enc who has taught among
them for 10 years, and can acknowledge the
debt they owe the school. 1t is pleasant
for me to extend the good wishes of all.
These friends appreciate not only your
work in the school but the interest you
have taken in the village, in the library
and in the lecture courses. Your work in
all departments has been characterized by
bread mindedness and liberality. You have
done your duty. Now as you go away
these friends would present to you a slight
memento, a little CONCEALED friendship, and
as often as you use it may it recall those
who gave it." A beautiful silver tea SER
vice was then presented. Prof Miller re-
