HON e. o. sPERRY STRIKES ANOTHER GOLD
MINE.
While psuaing a moment for rest on
the piazza of the Marketable Emporium
of Trade, the scribe ran across our old
time friend, Hon e. o. Sperry, select
man of Washington, one Of the real es-
tate barons of Bromica, and an all round
good fellow generally. There is no man
quite like the genial Bromica real estate
man. He has a hobby of picking up
bargains and making 800 where the av-
erage citizen would pass by without max
ing a cent. When he went to school he
didn't read that world-renowned piece in
the reading book for nothing: "Eyes or
no eyes or the art of seeing" AS before
stated when we met the popular select
man we expected good story, and we
got one. THE BEE has already narrated
the particulars OF his gold mine on the
shores of Spectacle lake, but this goes it
one better. One day thrifty citizen Of
Bromica drifted into the Marketable store
and found Mayor Sperry holding down
keg of nails. ST have bargain for you,"
he said, 1853 acres of land, house good
enough to live in and barn, which was
once mortgaged for $500. What will you
give?' The genial Mr. Sperry chewed
his mustache and said coolly: I'm give
you $780," The man jumped nearly six
feet at the offer, in his anger, but ended
up by giving Friend Sperry the deed.

To the Center School District: The
school year just closed has been, so far
as my knowledge of the school is con-
cerned, the most successful in it's history.
This may be attributed to az least three
facts: First, the corps of teachers has
been better than eyer before. Their
faithfulness no doubt has given US much
of the success of the year. They have
never spared themselves work where bet.
ter results could be obtained by extra
labor
Second, the attendance has been much
better. There has been comparatively
little sickness to hinder regular attend
ance. consequently the pupils have been
much more interested In their work.
Third, the principal having had an
assistant, there has been some opportu-
nifty for supervision.
