popular school teacher, attended the Sunday
school convention here last week. She, with
many others made us very pleasant callWhich

Gatherings like these make a break in tn,
busy and too often rather monotomous life O
our farmer population, and are remembered
and talked of long afterwards. They have s
tendency, too, to tarn ones thoughts into new
channels, and thus benefit mind and body both
