Closing Exercises of Blue
Mound School

Friday, May Z, 1909, being the last
day of Blue Mound School for the year
l9oS-O9, the many patrons of the dis
trict assembled themselves together
in the afternoon, to listen to
the Youths of America" in the rem
deration Of their closing program.
The program was neither elaborate
or long but it was rendered in such a
training. 1t certainly was a credit TO
the pupils taking part.
AT the close of the program Mr.
Swain arose and spoke at length of the
perfect harmony that had existed
throughout the year. between teachers,
patrons and board of the work of in
dividual pupils and of the grades as a
whole, and of the feeling that existed
between pupils and teachers. He i'm
pressed the idea "that in union there
is strength" and assured US that the
successful termination of this term Of
school was not due to the labors OF the
teachers alone but to the cooperation
and support of the district at large.
A number of prizes were presented
to various pupils for excellng in diff
ferent departments. Seven diplomas
,of honor were presented to the seven
pupils making the highest records i'm
attendance. Five nicely bound books
were presented to the pupils receiving
the most perfect marks in their SPELL
ing classes. A souvenir spoon was
presented to the best reader in the
second grade. The school presented
to Mr.. Swain, as an appreciation of his
services during the year, beautiful
pair of solid gold cuff buttons, neatly
engraved with his initials.
After some announcements and ap-
propriate remarks concerning the
school work by Rev. McCuistian, the
exercises for the afternoon closed with
the old song God be with you till we
meet again"
Rev. McCuistian's lecture, Friday
night on THE Right Kind of Educa-
tion," was good and gave everyone
something to think about. While the
audience was not large it was appre-
ciative. We received many valuable
points of information often overlooked
10y modern educators.
Although Saturday May Sth, was
very disagreeable day, the district was
very well represented at the picnic on
Clear Creek, there being 93 present.
The picnic dinner was the feature o..
the day. 1t was spread on the ground
under the beautiful cottonwood grove
belonging to Mr.. Bare, and although
everyone did their very best, like the
widows handful of meal and cruise OF
oil, it seemed 10 fail not. Judging
from the appearance of the festive
board" 'twould be hard TO believe that
drought was threatening Beaver
County.
A number of pictures were made in
the afternoon. The children indulged
in hunting and fishing excursions but
without injury To the fish or game.
AT late hour in the evening the
party returned home feeling that il
was indeed good to have been there.

Plenty of Rain

The long looked for rain made its
appearance Saturday and Sunday in a
regular gully-washer and toad strang-
Ter down-pour. The heaviest rain that
has visited this section for long time
fell on these days and it is impossible
to estimate the value that the moist
ure at this time will prove to be.
The rain was general throughout the
county, every section being thoroughly
soaked.
The long-continued dry spell was be-
ginning to become serious and while
crops were standing the drought re-
markably well, yet, it was only a ques-
ton Of few days without rain until
they would have been total loss As
il is they now bid fair to make a good
growth and the prospects were never
brighter for plentiful harvest.

THE state seal.

As certain newspapers continue to
poke fun at New Hampshire because her
state seal represents ship-building as
her chief, if not her only, industry. the
story Of the origin and adoption Of the
seal may be Of some interest The first
legislature under the constitution Of
1854 met on June Of that year and
on the 18th Of the same month both
the house and senate voted that George
Atkinson, John Pickering and George
Gains be "a committee TO prepare a de-
vice and inscription for q seal for this
state, and lay Che same before the Court
at its next session. These gentlemen
were all of Portsmouth, and IL Is prob.
able that the members OF the legisa-
ture had a pretty definite idea what such
committee would select for a device.
The next session OF the Great and GEN
eral Court" was held at Portsmouth on
October 20, 1884 and on November | !.
the committee for preparing device
and inscription for a seal for this state
reported that the device be a field en-
comprised with laurel round the field
capital letters, Siglium Relpublicae Neo
Hatonlensis, on the field a rising sun,
and ship on the doks with American
banners displayed, and that said seal
be two inches in diameter This re-
port was accepted by the house on the
same day, and on November 4. the sen.

body give no indication that there was
any opposition whatever. Nor was there
any reason why there should be. AT

Be Reasonable.

just now, in certain quarters and by
certain newspapers, a pitiful complaint
Is being made in behalf Of the humble
and innocent individual who produces
something on ono side Of state line
and desires to dispose Of It or portion
Of it, on the other side. II is made to
appear peculiarly unreasonable that a
man who has a Single mil say, on the
New Hampshire side 81 the Salmon

thousand Of his shingles in Maine,
should be considered BY the government
as engaged in interstate business, and
the complaint ia even louder in behalf
of the man who makes rake handles

not admit that in the old days inter-
ference was not thought of, because Il
was wholly unnecessary. but that since
those old days trusts Of one kind and
another have changed the entire situa.
ton It Is not conceivable That the
fathers Of the republic, had they been
confronted with the problems Of today,
would not have found some means to
meet them, and II is snpine to assume
that the men Of today are less compe
tent to mekJ the problems Of the present
than their forefathers would have been

VERMONT NOT HOSTILE TO NEGRO
TROOPS.

For the good name Of Burlington and
Of Vermont the Burlington News hastens
to disavow any desire on the part Of
Burlington people for the introduction
Of Jim Crow cars on the street rail
road for the use Of the new troops
which have come to Fort Ethan Allen
and who happen TO be ooIored men. It
was a silly assertion at best to state
that there was any prejudice against
the negro soldiers 50 developed as to
warrant such a demand for separate
conveyances and it was probably the
composition Of reporter who did not
realize what deep significance it carried,
basing the statement on some idle re-
mark Of joker. The Times takes The
News disavowal as conclusive that there
il no sentiment against the negro
troops because Of their color; and more
over, the contemporary speaks very
highly Of the newcomers, saying: "All
that we can hear about these colored
soldiers Of Uncle Sam from their former
rendezvous il favorable and they are
said to be the best behaved troopers
in the army" Furthermore, those who
have already come have given rs no evil
dences of misconduct during their brief
sojourn at Fort Ethan Allen since they
Took like respectable men and behave
fully As well a. any white officers Of
similar rank that we have seen since
the military post was built"
These prompt disavowals Of the con-
temporary viii do something toward re.
moving the stigma with which the i'll
advised first report has branded BurI-
ington and Vermont, and until the col.
ored troops do something which does not
comport with the discipline and station
Of regular United States soldiers they
may be assured of fair treatment dur
ing their stay in Vermont. 1t ii very
unfortunate that such an unfounded
and idle report should have been given
currency for it does not give the right
impression Of the attitude of Vermont
people toward colored troops and places
US in direct sympathy with Southerners
and it does agraye injustice to the col
ored soldiers themselves. The Times
trusts that the newspapers which have
