party the Krell lecture on Wednes-

tended as it should have been, but
those who were there pronounced it
good and we think without exception
were there again on Thursday even

All pronounce it very interesting and
instructive.
Rev. Aron, of Magnolia, was in our
city last week. He visited at the
Rev. Ehler's home while he attended
his periodical clerical duties of the
Lutheran church. He has two
children attending the Magnolia
schools, where Grant Lancelot is
principal. One of them will gradu-
ate in June. He expresses satisfac-
ton with the instruction they are re.
ceiving.
Tuesday evening Gene Mertz treat
ed the pupils of our schools to a
draw in a grabbing, which he had
purchased. Some came away delight
ed and some moderately pleased and
some were disappointed, but all APP
preciated the treat and would like to
have another chance to try their luck
in similar adventure, and hope it
will be repeated some lime in the
near future.
The negative won at the Foster
literary Friday night, where the
question, Resolved, That Columbus
did more for our country by discov-
ering it than Washington did by saw
ing it, was discussed. Quite a
lengthy program followed the debat-
ing, consisting of songs, recitations,
declarations, dialogues, etc. The
meetings are growing in popularity
and no matter what the weather there
is always full house.
The following program will be
given by the members of the Gray
High School, Friday evening, March
9th, commencing at 1880. The pro-
gram speaks for itself and shows that
the evening will be one of rare enter
tainment and those present will not
fail to be pleased and profited by
their attendance. The purpose for
which it is given is most commend
able, as the proceeds go to buy books
for the school library. The principal
of the schools and his pupils have
spared neither time nor energy in
preparing this entertainment which
they feel sure is worthy of public
patronage. The ability of the pupils
of the High School and their efficient
teacher is sufficient guarantee that
the entertainment will be first class.
The price of admission will be Is cts

In Memory OF FIossie Priestley.

Our dear little Flossie has gone home to rest;
She has lett this world of trouble and care,
For a brighter land, and home more blest,
In the Lords crown, another jewel fair.
For four short years she had been our pride
She made sunshine. aud care for us too.
For her body was filed with pain till she died,
And when God released her to heaven she flew
God has taken her home now, with him
To that beautiful land of flowers
Where we all may go if we trust in Him
Who set us examples to follow.
Flossie's standing now on that golden shore
Her little hand is reckoning there
Mamma, papa, to see me once more
You must prepare for this home bright aud
fair.
We all like Flossie must leave our friends
Then let us prepare for tho call
When the trumpet sounds and our work here
ends.

Farewell Party.

Monday, February 10Th, was day
long to be remembered by merry
crowd of friends and neighbors who
met to spend a day with Mr.. and
Mrs. Geo. w. Wright and family.
This family have long been in our
midst and by their courteous and
neighborly considerations of the
wants OF those about them, they have
built up bulwark of kindred ties that
are founded on honesty and upright
ness. This good bye gathering was
one Of mingled joy and regret,-joy
because Of memorable pleasures OF the
past; regret at their loss. All, how
ever, recognized that neighbors are
like all things else. Change is the
powerful engine of progression: the
motive power that drives the wheels
OF development; the dynamo that sets
in motion the currents of human
thought to master the unknown
realm OF futurity. So as these friends
and neighbors laughed and talked and
amused each other the undercurrent
OF thoughtful reserve babe each one
make the most of tleeting time for he
must change about as this family
change their abode, yet the esteem in
which they are held will never
change. AS a token of respect and
esteem and to hold green their memo
ry, the following beautiful and useful
presents were given: A water set, set
OF silver knives and forks, set silver
tablespoons, set of silver teaspoons,
and two easy chairs, in which the
couple may rest and dream of the past.
