We attended the closing exer-
cises of our public school last
Thursday evening. When we
reached the little school house we
found it decorated in excellent
taste and pleasant teacher to
greet us. Miss Sloan is certainly
at home in the school room and an
up-to-date teacher.
After listening to a very inter-
esting programme, Miss Sloan
presented the prizes. The first
one was given to Miss Cura Scog-
gin for having 100; the prize was
nice book, "The Key of Heaven.
She also gave little Maggie and
Lizzie Govero and Alex. Sutton
each a nice book for regular at
tendance. After giving the prizes
she raised a curtain and disclosed
a very pretty Xmas tree, and all
present received a treat. The
house was crowded, and all hated
to part with the dear teacher. She
is always the same in school and
out; always has a kind word and
pleasant smile for all. Her school
was a success, and she has taught
the best school we haYe ever had
Miss Sloan, we want you for oul
teacher next year; there is no one
can fill your place. There wa'
great love shown when the pupil!
and friends parted with the teacher
She delivered a fine lecture to he
pupils, giving them good advice
and closed by wishing them
Merry Christmas and Happ,

Our school-the Oakdale school
CLOSED last Friday. We all did
well. Our programme was ar
ranged by our teacher and carried
out to perfection. The little ones
excelled themselves, and us big
ones! Oh! my! You'd ought to
have heard us make the welkin
ring with our songs, speeches and
dialogues; but when the end came
it came not peacefully, but with
sighs, groans and tears. Our dear
teacher, who has been our friend for
twelve months, has left us, and has
left a void which will never be
filed. We all, patrons and pupils,
especially us big boys) wish for
her the best that life can give, and
success in the life-work she has
chosen. PAULINE.

We are not prepared to assert that the

1t may have escaped general observation,
yet it is fact that the increase in population
during the past year was greater in West
Plains than in any other two townships in the
county; there is more plowing being done in
this township than in all the rest of the coun-
ty; Angels may fold their wings and rest at
various places, but they reside here perma-
nently. while we have more cash than all the
rest of the county. Great is Plains.
Question no more the virtue of Meade
county as farming community; every one
comedies it to such and is demonstrating his
faith by his works. John w. Baughman,
the horny handed farmer of Plains, has one
thousand acres in diversified crops, consisting
of barley, cane, kaffir corn, rice corn, millet,
broom corn, etcetera; even Ed Aleer is con-
vinced and has $50 acres in similar crops, 90
acres being broom corn. A. c. Olin knows
that these crops cannot fail (he is the seed
man, you know, while Don 7. Edwards has
several hats wagered on IL bushel yield of
wheat in this township, and refuses to dis
count his bets for cash.

The young boy, whom c. L.
Stratton, Secretary of the Kansas
Children's Home Society, placed at
the home of R. M. Painter about a
year ago, came to town Sunday,
dirty, ragged and barefooted. He
had walked the entire way, cutting
across the prairies, arriving here
Sunday morning. He was taken in
by John Parks, who secured some
clothing and shoes for him. He
told that he had let Painters team
run away the day before and that
Painter had abused him forit. That
he had ran away and hid in the
Lakeland school house, and finally
concluded to come to Meade, ar
irving in the condition above men
toned. Mr.. Parks wanted to take
the young man up to see Mr.. Griggs
Dut ne seemed to be in great hor-
ror of him, and SAID he was afraid
that he would send him back to
Painters; that Mr.. Painter was a
much abler lawyer than Mr.. Griggs,
and defeated Griggs in all his law
suits. Now we wonder(2) where
the young man gained all this know
ledge. He however told Mr.. Parks
that Mr.. Painter had taught him the
Lords Prayer, which must be COM
mended in Mr.. Painter. The young
man is being cared for by John
Parks, and as Mr.. Stratton will be
here Monday, we cannot say what
will be made of the case.
At present we have only the boys
side of the story, and as we desire
to be impartial in the matter and re-
frain from placing the blame on
anyone until the matter is fully in
vestigated by the proper parties.
We will give our readers further par
ticulars later.

The city council. at their meeting
last Tuesday evening, let contract
to Jay and Will Ellis for the sink
ing of six inch well on the square
to supply the tank. The supply OF
the present three inch well is found
to be inadequate and they conclud-
ed to have another. With these two
they will have an ample supply of
water. They are going to secure a
gasoline engine also for the new well.
This will give Meade the best water
works this side of Hutchinson.
Water mains are being laid to the
west and northwest part of the city
and will eventually extend until every
residence in the city is supplied
with water.
The six inch casing in the old
well in the east part of the city is
being pulled out and a PARTON will
be used in the new well. There is
about 500 feet of this casing and
will be a great saving in the cost of
