SHORT RUN.

Frosty night have given way to
warmer ones and to all appearances
spring is here. The recent freeze
came too late however, to avail the
sugar maker anything, for warm
weather had started the sap.
Very little syrup were made in this
section. Real winter weather quick
ly followed by a time OF no frost cut
the season short.
Farmers are busily engaged in put
ting in oats and preparing ground for
corn.
Our school closed last Friday with
feast in the afternoon and an
entertainment at night.
T.ttI is a custom of our school
established ten years ago. 1t consists
of all the good things the season af-
fords served at the schoolhouse to all
the neighborhood.
The entertainment was a decided
success rejecting credit upon both
teacher and pupils The parts were
varied and well rendered THE Belle
of the Tableau''was equally as good
acting the part of old Mrs. Higgins
in the comic dialogue. From the tot
going over his You scarce expect
one of nv age to speak in public on
the stage" to the blushing, stage
stricken sIXteen-year-old putting ex-
preston and feeling into the pathetic
part of The Legend" They all did
we'll and are to be congratulated.
Miss Cora Weimer is a good teacher
and her indecison, upon being ask
ed by the trustees to spend a third
winter among us, causes anxiety. She
is not only eminently successful
teacher but is a good congenial friend.
Miss Feely, of Altamant, and Misses
Florence Dewitt and Mabel Thayer.
of near Deer Park, spent Saturday
and Sunday in this vicinity.
Miss Alta Wilson is staying with her
sister, Mrs Moon. at Keyser.
Bert Wilson will work at Pied
mont.
Mr.. Chas. w. Jenkins, reporter for
the Piedmont Hldependent, took a
flying trip to Keyser Saturday.
The school house narrowly escaped
burning last week. The proximity
of dwelling where buckets could be
had is all that saved it. We under
stand that the school authorities
have forbidden teachers to have
buckets in the school houses but the
destruction of few of them will
cause the order the be revoked.
Girls look out! The young men of
this vicinity have taken the driving
craze. As fair sample of the activi-
ty shown, cite Mr. Milo Wilson. He
went to keyser, purchased a horse
from Davis stable at fabulous price
and as we understand special lob
in a buggy is being made. Surely
there is some reason for all this sudden
impulse and | declare it isn't the
condition of the roads, for thew are
the most used, the least worked and
the worst in the county. Someone
suggested that the youths argue to
themselves that a natty looking turn
out might prove a prevention of
dreaded bachelorhood. Yon are right
my boys, nothing so takes girl as an
eventful drive in comely rig with
YOUR own monogram on the seat risers,
and again the means of conveyance
extends your field of operations.
School is out, clement weather is
here and the period of inactivity lis
past. Now we go to work. burn our
selves brown in the sun and start new
life coursing through our veins. We
are not sorry; we learn lessons of in
dustry from our surroundings and of
JOY from the birds cheerily singing an
awakening carol to sleeping nature.
We toll, but on every hand we see
natural progress; we feel that we are
in harmony, in fact, a part of the
great awakening and we are content,
happy. Life in the spring time is one
grand sweet song"
