The program was we'll received
and heartily encored throughout,
and spoke volumes for the efficient,
painstaking teacher. After the
program came the barbecue. And
such feast! 1t Is hardly neces-
sary to particularlze but sufficient
to say, that was nothing good
omitted. There were two. tables,
the entire length of the school
room, absolutely loaded down with
necessaries and dainties, and more
than one hundred and fifty, with
81 Hubbard, appetites enjoyed
the feast. The scholars, their
parents, and several interested
friends from the neighborhood
around, graced the festal board,
and so we'll did they acquit them
selves that there was not whole
chicken nor single yard of
sausage left for Old 81.
The program throughout re-
ceived unusual attention, and it's
rendition reflects great credit up
on the efficiency of the teacher,
who has the thanks OF the parents
tor her painstaking, untiring
efforts on behalf of the children,
also the thanks of the directors
for the unusually well-governed
and instructive six months school.
