the Litany of All-Saints and the

mony was completed, the pupils,
Sisters and priests, and a host of
friends-there were hundreds pres

this part Of the country, but we did not
meet up with them.
There was quite q large crowd on the
fair ground The display Of agricultu-
raj products was limited, and consisted
of corn, hay, potatoes, cane, &c. The
display Of chickens was very good, but
we leave to others to tell more fully Of
the fair, as we did not give enough time
or attention TO write intelligently of it.
We were pleased to meet our old friends
Of former days,
Rev. H. j. Graves, pastor Of the Met
calfe circuit, filled his appointment at
Bethpage on the first Sabbath Of this
month. Congregation only average in
size. As the church aforesaid had not
finished paying the pastor his salary, a
collection was taken and the deficit
was made up. After the services were
over, the pastor came TO DogwoOd and
dined with MS, and preached in the For
shala school house, about one-fOurth
mile from Dogwood, to a congregation
Of about twenty-five, Ia the afternoon.
Rather he preached In the open air in
front Of the school house. Some Of the
neighbors desire and propose TO start a
Sunday school at said school house.
We had q little fun ct DOgwoOd, on
last Friday night. A 'pOssum attacked
our chickens, which roost in q cedar
tree, on that night, and two or three Of
the family kindled fires, lie torches and
seiEing the gun went out TO ''repel the
fowl invader" as Bill Arp used to say.
They located D. POssum, Esq, IN the
cedar tree and one Of them pulled down
on him with the gun and out Of the tree
he fell. They knocked him on the head
and laid him on the board pile, leaving
him for dead. You ought TO haYe seen

said Supt. Holloway, in speaking Of the

head went on a accommodating tour and
found the pOssum not far off in the po-

killed him again. and cooked and ate
him. Lest he should get away again,
we instructed the cook to shut the oven

until he got done. Well, we ate him
with the usual accompaniment, sweet

anticipated, however, they may have
gone in the afternoon.

MISSION SCHOOL

The attendance at 5. Johns Mission school for natives grows bette5 both in numbers and regularity each year Results are beginning to show in the chiIdren's progress, and before long the native school will rank with the public schools in every way. Owing TO the manner in which the natives have lived heretofore, crowding sev- eral families into one smaIl house sometimes thirty people sleeping ip one cabin-the Mission school has held only halt day sessions. The children then have had the afternoons for out of door play to counteract the effect of such living, until better houses could he encouraged. Though much room for Improvement still exists, the con- ditions certainly have changed re- markedly within the last live years. For this reason, and because the child rens' progress has been so good, regu- lar afternoon sessions are now held. The teacher in charge of the school has never confined her work to the three hours in the monring, nor to the sew ing and singing which has been taught.
 Not the least important feature has heen the basket industry encouraged among the women, by the exchange of clothes for the baskets. Warm clothing, new and old, has been sent hy various branches of the Woman $ Auxiliary in the States, which has been exchanged The baskets in turn are sold to tourists and others, and afford almost the entire means of sup port the school has needed.
 Thus three-fold benefit is derived :: the basketry is q legitimate industry for native women, sensible and warm clothes are secured by their own la bors, and the school is maintained in part at least by the sale of the baskets.
 Another aim of the basketry work has been to bring the women in touch Sith the teacher, and as a result the women are turning more ana more to the mission workers for advice and help. class has been formed among them to meet once week which promises better results than ever be- fore.
 Much more interest is taken in cook ing lessons than it was possible to arouse n.tines pasts and the work looks encouraging.
