Williams School Notes.

Weather is fine and attendance good.
 Several pictures have been placed upon the walls of room 3, which adds greatly to the homelike ap- pearance of the room.
 Two of the rooms spent a very pleasant hour Friday afternoon in solving the mysteries of valentine boxes Some very pretty and unique as well as few comical ones found their way into the box.
 On Friday afternoon, instead of the recitation in civil law, in room 4, the writer conducts an informal discussion of current events, which is increasing in interest, and many of the boys now take part who at first showed little interest in the work All accounts of murders, robberies and similar news that might not have the best influence on young minds are barred from our discussion.
 Tuesday we were favored with a very pleasant call from two ladies from Boston, en route to the Grand Canyon Frequently tourists call in and spend an hour or two with us, which we appreciate very much, yet we would be even more pleased to have the patrons show a greater interest by calling more frequently and coming in closer touch with our work L.

Cunningham Caned.

TUcsoN, Ariz., Feb. 14.-EDIToR NEWS, Williams, Ariz.-Dear Sir: On my arrival in Tucson this morn ing received through Wells, Fargo & Go. an exquisitely handsome gold-headed ebony cane, engraved, From the Citizens of Williams, Ariz., to D. l.. Cunningham"
 Through Geo. H. Cook, the jew eler at Prescott, this cane reached me, but 1 have no intimation as to the party or parties primarily re sponsible for the caning. There fore l wish to express my apprecia- ton of this most unusual compli- ment in q public manner through the NEWS, and would like to say that 1t is q distinction very rarely enjoyed by any one in this world to have all the citizens of a commu- nifty join in such a tribute of praise, for praise l regard it.
 It Is not unusual for societies to present q token of this nature to one of its members; q political party advertises its candidates for office in this way; q nation honors its heroes after this manner; but let me say that few communities have hOnored any of its citizens more than Williams has honored me in the presentation of this beau tiful token, and l appreciate it to the fullest extent. In my heart beg to say, God bless Williams and every inhabitant therein"
 Yours very truly,
