TENNESSEE, Jan. so, 1893.
President George w. G. Davis is con-
valescent.
Bert Blacklaw, Lloyd Simons, Stella
and Monia Fronk came down from So
daville Saturday evening to attend the
entertainment
Miss Winnifred Wilds is model teach
er. No one can consciously believe
otherwise who was present at her school
entertainment last Saturday evening
Tho children under her control for the
past four months, showed ia every man
ner the results of the excellent traiu,ng
and learniug which they have reeeivsd
from her, also the cultivation OF good
manners and in fact, each child did his
part so well as to be more entertaining
than the larser ones, who assisted. no:
one single prompting being necessary
| BY her kindness and presence Of mind
she won the affections oil the neighoor-
hood. An hour before the exercises be.
gan the house was crowded to the doors.
Visitors from Lebanon, Sodavtlle, Knox
Butte and Laksview were there. The
program WAS well executed. and con-
sumed about two hours. Among the
several selections may be found the fol:
lowing:
Instrumental music by Tennessee Or
chestra.
Dialogues, "Reci ing the Poem," "fhe
Changed II )usewife, +" ""The rival Speak
ers" by Chester Myers and Clarence
Ross, ''The Echo"
Songs: By the school, Twinkle"
aud Davis and Mary Mcknight ;"Speed
Away" by the "Trio Grenadiers" VIM
nifred Wiids, Annie Blscklaw and Clyde
Mcknight.
A medley By Powell quartet.
Solos by Cora Swink, Mrs BARLEY and
Miss Wilds.
At the close the audience was treated
TO a mild surprise by an oration from
"The Dwsri" which wss indeed one Of
the most comical doin's OF the evening
The entertainment left the lasting i'm
preston OF Miss Wild's sterling quail
ties as a teacher, aud we believe that
when a neighborhood succeeds in secur-
ing a good teacher they should keep her
for the purpose of advancing education
in every way possible as change in
teachers confnses and interrupts the
advance of pupils. Congratulations,
Miss Wiids.
We were sorry 10 hear that you could
not attend Little Rose Bud" but il you
ever visit this locality, you will more
than likely visit me also as well az 7 L.
Your surprise Was complete, but hard
ly think that yon ever bought elk meat
OF "me." You are also mistaken, for !
never have hunted elk to my recollection
You are on the right track, but you hsye
the wrong bull bv the tail. You have
aroused the curiosity OF T. P. Mcknight
IS well as myself. Charles and Clyde,
the heroes OF the elk hunt, wish "me"
20 give to you their best regards.

seat for the following told by the Port
land Welcome:
There has been considerable cantroyer-
sY over the question as to who was the
youngest soldier in the rebellion. The
point has not yet been satisfactory
settled; but the writer OF this has per
sonal knowledge of ample proof that Ma
jor John Glenn, m,Quarter,naster at Vancou-
yer, is entitled to that distinction. lie
enlisted as drummer boy at the age of 9
years. At the age of IL he participated
in the battle of Chickamagua. where he
did eminent service, killing a colonel in
the rebelling forces. This claim is fully
sustained by the record and it accords to
Major Glenn the honor of being the young
est soldier in active service in the war.
