SURPRISE PARTY.
Washington's birthday, 1900, was a
gala day for the patrons and school of
Tulpahock. The event of the day was
grand surprise party on the pupils
and Edward G.. Zininger, their teacher
1t vividly recalled to their minds a
similar occasion, given the same school
and same teacher in January, 1896. by
the same party of people who rendered
this surprise. About the hour Of IL
a. m. without any warning at all, the
door of the school room suddenly opened
and there streamed in crowd Of peo-
pie with bright and happy faces, with
the words, surprise, surprise" upon
their lips, and found the scholars and
teacher 'busily engaged in their studies
and recitations. OF course this put an
end to any further school work for that
day, for the newcomers took immediate
possession of the school room and the
ladies prepared a bountiful dinner Of
good viands, at which chicken, cake and
pie were not wanting.
After all had partaken of the dinner
to their satisfaction, an hour or two
was spent in conversation, when the
people were called to order by, the
teacher, and songs and recitations were
rendered by the pupils. Mr.. e. c. Mong
was on hand with his phonograph and
gave several selections. All present ex-
pressed themselves as having spent q
very enjoyable time and the hour for
separation came all too soon.
The surprise was the work of the
ladies of the district and especial men
tion must be made of their skillful man
agement of the affair, and their splendid
success. The excellent dinner they pre-
pared also must not be forgotten. The
scholars and teacher are very grateful
to the patrons of the district for the
esteem in which they are held and
thank them heartily for their happy visit
and say, "come again." Special guests
in attendance were Miss Marking, of
Canton, and Miss Elmer, of Malvern.
