december 80. - A happy new
year to ALL
The Christmas tree at the
Kluttz school house was a nice
one, and all enjoyed the occasion
very we'll.
Albert Eddleman, of Schenec-
tady, New York, is spending the
holidays with his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. J. A. Eddleman.
Rev. A. Shulenbarger, of China
Grove, is teaching the Sloop free
school this winter and has an av-
erage daily attendance of IS pu-
pills. He has q fine school and
good order, we learn. He is a
Reformed minister, a good and
kind teacher and is liked by all.
Geo. W. Hill and wife visited
his mother Christmas, and spent
the day with her.
Samuel G. Hill and sister at
tended the Christmas exercises at
St. Paul's Christmas day, and re-
ports a splendid time.
George Roseman, who enlisted
in the U. S. army several years
ago, has sold his land to his bro.
er, Daniel Roseman. He likes
the North and says he will not
return to live here again.
Mrs. Mary G.. Roseman aid
Miss Take Roseman spent Christ
mas with Miss Fannie E. Lyerly.
A. NJ. Basinger who has been
SICK for two weeks has returned to
his store again, we are glad to say.
Brother Bartlette, we see you
have some experience in school
matters, SO we wish to know if
this is up-to-date or modern teach
ing: The teacher to read the lesson
himself while the pupil listens
and now and then answers a word
or 50? For example,: About $50
years ago Christopher Columbus
was growing up as a boy in the
city of Genoa, Italy" The teach
ersreads to the word ''of" and
then expects the pupil to read or
answer the remaining words,
Genoa, in Italy" And SO on
through the lesson. Now, if 1t
takes a class with one teacher and
five pupils to get over n lesson
four days, how long will it take
to recite 46 lessons at that rate?
Brother Samuel, you missed a
fine hunt. The writer, Mr.. How
ell, Mr.. Shile, and little Milo,
killed one buck and a woodchuck,
then gathered in Mr.. Sides corn
field and tried their luck at shoot
ing After 25 shots were fired it
was decided that Mr.. Howell could
cut down more stalks and Mile

of stalks than any one else. The

A ball was given i'll the Elk
Lodge hall here Christmas night
by parties who are glorying in
their skill in keeping their iden-
tity unknown more than the. nom
de plume of Dragons" We do
know any of the parties who par
ticipated in this pleasant affair,
but feel sure it was the efforts of
respectable people, notwithstand-
ing their awe-inspiring sobriquet.
However, it might be we'll for the
young ladies to remember that
there are people who do not move
IN the best circles except in dis
gulse. An instance Of this kind
which was well attended by some
of the city's most respectable
white ladies, took place in Chi
cage some years ago. after which
the information leaked cut that
the disguised gentlemen we're ne
groes. As said above we have no
doubs as to the responsibility, or
proper Conduct, of those who
we're responsible for the 'Dragon"
ball, but il is well enough for the
ladies' to remember, that there is
-deviltry enough at balls conduct
ed by we'll known chaperons with
out taking ally unnecessary risks.
