Gov. A. B. Fleming and G. w. Flem-
ing left yesterday for Columbus, Ohio,
called by the illness of Mrs. Brooks
Fleming, who has been i'll of typhoid
fever for several weeks at the home of
her parents in that city. While Mrs.
Fleming S illness has been serious from
the first, slight change for the better

Garrett CONTAINS are now ENJOYING
the first real bit of winter so far this
season, snow having fallen to depth
of about ten inches, beginning on last
Sunday evening and on Monday and
Tuesday it continued to fall. While it
may inconvenience some people, es-
pecially those connected with railroads,
it is much better to have snow than
rain. Along the streets of Oakland
great piles are to be seen everywhere,
but everybody you meet seems happy.
The pavements have been kept prac-
tically clean by "Uncle Abe" Wotring
with his snow pillow and his faithful
horse. That snow pillow is a great in

Can anything be more pleasant in the
busy hum-drum of after years than to
permit your minds to wander back to
the days of school life; the sweet men,
cries and incidents that will come up,
the smiling faces and pleasant counte-
nances; the old school house door that
had so often admitted you, swinging
back and forth on its hinges, the very
walks speaking forth of happy hours;
while at lyour side stands the noble
teacher who watched your every move
and was as much interested in your
success as you were yourself. AS these
recollections come back to you whose
school lives have been spent in this COM
munity, your eyes will moisten as you
realize those days are now gone for
ever. Never again will those days re-
turn. You who for so many months
and years have been like one family
and participated joyously together in
the school room and playground have
doubtless pledged loyalty and faith to
the school. You now step out of school
life into life's school and will be scat
tered far and wide, but the memories
of your school days will ever form the
brightest link in your chain of thought.
