SCHOOL NOTES.

1t is to us matter of some regret
that we learn that school in the Hunter
district has been indefinitely discontin-
ued. For some years past there has
been more or less discussion of the mat
ter and at one time it was proposed to
close the school in question and build a
road across lots to the Nicholson district.
However, just previous to the opening of
town schools, canvass of the district
was made and it was found that there
were only two or three scholars in the
district who would attend school there,
and in consequence the school has been
closed indefinitely.
We are very glad to hear such excel
lent reports from the district schools,
both in increased attendance and the
spirit of interest in school work mani
tested by the pupils. For number of
years it has been a matter of some diff
Guilty to provide good teachers for this
grade of schools.
The demand for teachers in this Sec
ton of the state, is and has been, very
great, while the number of available
candidates has been comparatively linn
| tied. The local School Board should be
congratulated upon their success this
year, in securing a full corps of compe-
tent teachers for the district schools
Miss Moore, Iron Bridge; Mr.. Moore
Nicholson District Miss Wing, East
Brighton; Miss Lee, Head of the Pond
Miss Ham, Bemis District all are
teachers of successful experience. Not
long since the writer overheard gentle
m an remark, "Not for twenty-five years
have the district schools in Brighton
been in such good condition and so wei
provided for as at the present time"
We are very glad to notice that there
is tendency on the part of the young
men of the town to return to school
Two of the young men who have recent
ly re-entered, Burt Ladd and JOSIAH
Spiller, will be graduated next June.

Dear Sir; It's an old saying; the best

It happens to us continually in this
way; A man buys Devoe for his house
he has painted it once in three years for
a dog's-age, and thinks he knows what
he wants-buys 80 gallons, and has 10
left.
He sees right-off that 30 Devoe is as
much as 30 of anything else. He likes
that; it comes quick it is q surprise !;
and he tells of it. The best advertise
ment is pleased customer.
Three years roll round. There isn't
sign that his house needs paint, he
don't paint it. Next year he don't paint
it. Tbs comes slow; it is a surprise ;
but he has got used to it. Still the best
advertisement is pleased customer.

0dell Notes.

As the Christmas tide comes rolling in
it brings promise of good cheer that
far surpasses those of other years. At
Odell on Christmas eve there will be an
entertainment in the church. The pro-
gramme is not yet complete, but will no
doubt be interesting. Both old and
young will have part in the exercises,
after which presents will be distributed
from the tree, hich, OF course, will be
the central figure for the little ones.
These good days that whisper Of Peace
on earth, and good will toward men, "
only come once year, and well they
do. for they are as milestones along the
highway OF life, where we pause for rest
and retrospection, e'er we go forward
again in the misty realms OF the future.
Wonderful indeed is this irresistible
force within us that prompts us, yea,
compels us to forge onward into an I'M
tried and unknown destiny. While
hope lives, it will always be so. When
the star OF hope dies, all else is dead.
Miss Nettie Kemp will arrive at 0dell
on the 24th, and will give an entertain
ment on the 26th, which will no doubt
be well worth the price. Miss Kemp
has many friends in the valley who will
extend to her kindly welcome.
John X. Roberts of Portland and his
sister from Corvallis will spend the hol-
idays here with their parents, MIR. and
Mrs. Charles g. Roberts.

After long wait there is quite force
OF men putting the inside finish on the

the only wonder being that it was not

much to do with the sanctity OF religious
worship, as the environments OF the
home have to do with molding the char
acter and conduct OF the members of the
! household. Think most people believe bet
ter than they perform, but ofthe two, per
formanee Is preferable. In fact there Is
1 nothing in either religion or business
that tells like doing the right thing. Just
now we are reminded Of Eugene Field s
poem on the boy just before Christmas,
who is "Just as good as he can be"
J. B. Lafferty, son of 6. W. Lafferty
of 0dell, is home on visit. His home

and is in friendly relations with Gov
eTnOr Morrison OF that state.
Sorry we cannot furnish the pro-
gramme for the Path, but when the
weeks festivities are over we may have
something more to say. Come along,
and have a good time, So when the New
Year dawns you may be ready to write
resolutions on your cuffs
