have to replant their corn on account

Our schools close this week for the
summer vacation and all concern ed
are glad to be free during the hot sum-
mer days. THE one bad feature is we
lose some of our teachers. Miss Jen
ME Ridge will not take her room
again having concluded to attend col
lege at Cedar Falls. We regret to see
her 90 away from us entirely, but
wish her we'll end hope she may con-
clude to return in the near future and
make her home among us. Miss Louie
WEIGH is of much the same mind as
Miss Ridge, concluding her health will
not permit her to remain i'm the school
room, has decided to 60 farther west
and make her home with her brother
in western Nebraska. Miss WEIGH has
been very faithful, having been en-
ployed for a number of years in til e
first primary of our schools, and we
regret that her health has so failed
her that she must resign her position.
We hope that the western sun and
scenery may improve her and her
usual health be restored that she may
once more make her home In Extra.

for them to pay their respect to the
dead, and living soldiers. At 80 all
old soldiers their wives and w. R. G.
ladies, fire boys and citizens, assembled
at the town hall and marched, lead by
the brass band, to the NJ. E. church,
where nice program was arranged.
Music by the NJ. E. and Cong. choirs
including beautiful solo by Miss
Bessie Bowman. After the program
Rev. H. L. Wissler addressed the
audience and one and all pronounce it

cession formed and marched to the
