LADIES' AID DO HONOR
"A Good Supper, Good Time and
Large Attendance

" auo" "ofh undertake to please the
puohc, as rule they always succeed
ana the campaign supper given last
night at Music Hall was no execution

and Mattresses. Wadsworth's prettiest
girls and comely matrons, school
aams, school masters, lawyers,
doctors, merchants. machinists and
everyone else who lives in this thriving
little burg that could go were there to
help get on the outside Of all the good
things, and incidentally swell the funds
OF the society. II is safe to say the
receipts were large. j
There was table decorated with the
national colors interwoyen with yellow,
and, by the way, the writer was not
aware Of the fact that Mckinley is an
Orangeman- but we don't care for a
little thing like that. The Republican
ladies' wore Mckinley button with
bit OF yellow ribbon, suggesting the
gold standard, while the admirers Of
W. J. Bryan wore silver tinted paper
arranged very tastefully across the
front of their corsage. to show they
were in favor Of l6 to Il. and they
looked very happy indeed as they at
tended to the wants ef the numerous
patrons Of the Bryan table.
IS There was side issue in the form
ofa voting contest. which was pretty
well patronized, considering that you
had to pay five cents per vote. This
was presided over by Miss Powell.
There were II votes cast for Bryan.
while Mckinley received 79. He will
have to beat that wonderfully If he wins
out.in November.
When Miss Marshall struck up
waltz on the piano 1t was as second
nature for all the young (1) folks to
choose partners, but 1t is not just ac-
cording to the laws of hygiene to
waltz to aid digestion, so they soon
grew tired of this-or was 1t the musi-
clans who tired flrst1
Everything in the line of eatables

reporter took this feed in and is very
anxious to know If we have to wait
four years for another campaign supper.
The ladies' did themselves proud in
giving the campaign supper. The
ladies are first-class campaigners; at
least we thought SO by the time we got
through supper, and SO did Tom Bas-
tlan, as the ladies' had him wearing a
Bryan button, and he was proud Of 1t.
Golding said he saw no camp or pains.

School Notes.

owing TO the withdrawal OF 1eW
children in the LIST primary the Pausies
are now admitted to both forenoon ,,and
afternoon sessions. The Roses have
been given full time but part OF the
Daisies are admitted only for half days.
The 3rd grade have recently taken up
Cyr's third reader, The 4th grade, hav-
ing finished this, are reading Barnes
Fourth. Their manner OF expression
shows that they understand and enjoy
what they read.
The 5th grade are good travellers.
They have taken many journeys through
South Anna srica and are this week start
ing out on their long journey through
Asia. Mr.. Carpenter is their guide and
shows them many interesting things
about the strange people and places.
The 4th grade will now travel few
months in North America, under the
same guide.
The 9Th grade are farther along than
were the sth last year at this time, due
probably:to the better health this year
than last. Their studies are Algebra,
History. Grammar ana Arithmetic.
Mr.. Skinner. member OF the school
board and editor at Montrose, was visit.
ing the Delta schools Monday 70 enoon.
We enjoyed Mr.. SINNERS visit. though
we knew him to be good critic OF
school work.
Mrs. W. II. Burnett was recently Wis
iting among the grades. Visits from
those SO familiar with school work are
always a benefit TO the schools.
Messrs. Williams, Remington and
Beckley, and Misses Gallup and Myers
were visitors at the literary exercises Of
the High school Friday afternoon.
Six quires OF pap,r hold the written
tests given in the High school the first
OF the week. The teachers are now hav
ing their share OF the work. We think
that parents, teachers and most pupils
are working together in securing bot
ter record OF attendance. 10o cases OF
tardiness in January were reduced to
81 in February, and the per cent OF at
tendance has been raised in every room.
We hear a great deal these days about
bequests to educational and benevolent
institutions. But few gifts have reached
Delta schools except what little the
teachers have done in decorating their
rooms. Among the necessities at pres
ent are pictures for the rooms books
for the library and collectiuns for scien-
tific studies.
The Delta schools will give an enter
tainment in the high school room the
evening OF March 26. Each teacher is
responsible for the part Of the program
furnished by her pupils. This plan will
give variety and interest 10 the enter
tainment and will not be burden to
any teacher. Here Is an opportunity to
enjoy a spicy entertainment and en-
courage the effort to replenish the
. library.
Miss Ingersoll's room was the bann sr
school for punctua.ity last month.
There were two cases OF tardiness.

lived with the daughters family. The
daughter lived, if not beyond her
means, at least up to the very edge,
went out n great deal and was enter
tanned great deal.
"The mother fell sick with COM
plant which l knew would prove fatal.
l did not inform the family till one
day the daughter asked me to tell her
frankly what her mothers condition
was and just how long she could live.
1 told her that the old lady could not
possibly last more than a fortnight.
She begged me not TO let anybody
know how serious the case was. She
didn't want her young daughters dis
tressed, she said.
''Of course I told nobody, and just
week after that L read in the papers
that Mrs. Dash, the daughter of my dy
ing patient, had sent out invitations
for a large dancing party, to be given
on an evening Il fortnight away. My
patient did not live IS long as l had
expected. The day after she died /
