We forego all Christmas exercises
at the school house, leaving them to
the homes and the churches, this year,
for the sake of variety; substituting
oral examinations on work gone over
for the year thus far, affording par
ents an excellent opportunity to wit

and we hope large number of par
ents will be present. Remember
Wednesday and Thursday, next week.
The exercises are to be entirely oral
on the above days. Friday will close

Statistics.

ScnooI Messenger:
1t may be Interesting to some to
know little more in regard to the
school stastics of our county. During
the year closing June l, 1901, there
were 50 schools in session. There
were 81 schoolhouses, having a valua-
tion of $47, 5000. 1O8 teachers were
employed at an average salary, for
men, S34.63; women: 1920. There
were state certificates, first grades,
go seconds, and 81 thirds in force.
1913 boys and 1923 girls are on the
census roll and 1880 boys and 926
girls found their way into the schools.
The total indebtedness of the school
districts of the county is 1886. 90.
The total expenditures for the schools
was S24 253. 50; of this amount the
teachers received $l6, ,724.52, the school
officers, $995.9O, and the remainder
went for incidentals, interest, bonds,
etc. All of these figures are exclusive
of Milbank and Big Stone City.
The free textbook question is grad
ually taking root and in time will
develop into fact throughout the coun-
ty. Melrose No. and Georgia No.
3 have adopted the system and made
the purchases. These districts are to
be congratulated in that they are pro-
gressive and have school boards that
re not afraid to make a new move.

Ortonviile Journal.

Ortonvile journal:
A petition signed by more than
fifty freeholoers of this city, has been
presented to the city council request
ing the said council to submit the
question of establishing public
library and reading room in
in this city. The movement was
inaugruated by theladies of the Tourist
Club who have undertaken the burden
of providing ways and means for the
maintenance of the present library
and reading rooms. The rooms have
been supported by a few public spirit
ed citizens for the past year and was
likely to suffer for the want of means
to maintain the same, when the Tourist
Club assumed the burden and is carry
ing the work forward under adverse
circumstances. The Importance of the
maintenance of reading room in
this city is great and it's need is
known, at least to the heads OF
families. The statutes gives power to
cities to levy tax not to exceed one
mill on the dollar annually, for the
maintenance of d public library and
reading room for the use and benefit
of the public. The question of rails
ing such tax will be submitted to
the voters at next election, in January.

milk of human kindness that it makes us
feel like another link that bound us to
earth has been broken, that our habita-
ticn here is more lonely and that we will
never more be cheered by the happiness
that his occasional visits to this town
always gave us. We enjoyed the visits
of no one more than his Our tastes
were much the same, and our lives and
associations were nearly parallel He
loved those that we had loved and cher
ished the memories of those long passed
away who were dear to us, and our COM
munings were of them. Our meetings
had been growing less frequent of late
years, and when we did meet we lived
over the past and forgot the present 1t
was to both of US a love feast indeed
and we kept green the memories of those
sonal incidents and "reminiscences of our
friends and companions who had left the
scenes in which they had acted so con-
spicuous part. A good man has passed
away and left the perfume of a sweet
memory We join the procession of the
