A TINES man was at the schoolhouse
Yesterday and witnessed pretty
sight when Miss Norma RolIwage pre-
sented each of the thirty-ive pupils
present with Christmas memento of
her esteem. The little ones show'd their
appreciation in such ways AS only de-
lighted children can exhibit, and it did
the heart good to observe their pleasure
AS the gifts were handed around. The
occasion will doubtless be remembered
after the lapse of many years.

was recently damaged by fire, has been
undergoing repairs. and the carpenters

preparatory to building brick pillars
under it. The heavy rain of Sunday

way, and the building fell to the
ground. The workmen had to dig I'M
der it To get it started up again, and
they now have it in good shape. The
fall did not damage the building to any
great extent, but Contractor Ahsted
says it knocked his Christmas" into a
cooked hat.
