had the pleasure of attending
the exercises of our public school
last Friday afternoon and | don't
know when | ever spent a more
pleasant time. The first on the
program was a history or sketch
of John Greenleaf Whittier, the
Quaker poet. His father being a
farmer of moderate circumstances,
Whittier scrubbed verses when a
boy and learned to make shoes to
defray the expense of schooling.
His first inspiration was from the
poet Burns. He opposed slavery
for 80 years, and his newspaper Of
fee in Philadelphia was burned.
MI. Whittier was never married.
His works are very interesting to
boys and girls. "Barbara Frietch-
ie," "Maud Muller" "Brown of
Ossawatomie ,''"The Yankee Girl"
and "The Pipes at Lucknow"
some of Mr. Whittier's poems,
were well rendered by the pupils.
Also "The Guests from Whittier
Land" was particularly interest
ing. Rendered by six girls and
boys, "The New England Fire.
place" was an excellent represent
tation, with its mantle piece, can
dies, etc. Also, the andirons that
held the wood looked like old
times, The songs were very APP
propriate. There is another thing
| want to mention, and that is the
arithmetic class. They solved a
problem on the black board as
follows: Chow many acres of lano
are there in G.. w. Wallis farm"
The sections and numbers were
given them. They soon told how
many acres were in it, and how
many rods of wire it would take to
fence it. There is not a business
man in this town that can work
this problem. We have the best
public school in this county and it
will pay any teacher to come here
and attend their exercises. 1t will
be instructive to them. Mr.. Nc
|Kee certainly understands school
work, while the primary teacher,
Miss Eta Keathley, is also good.
She is so kind to the little ones,
and at the same time has perfect
control over them. The directors
did d wise act when they employed
these teachers to teach Jul school.

DEATH AT NORDHOLM HOME.
The EIeven-Year-OId Daughter Of
Mrs. Sophia NordhoIm Taken
December 22nd.

Much sympathy is felt for Mrs.
Sophia Nordholm and her family, from
whose home the eleven-year-old daugh-
ter and sister was taken on Thursday
morning last. The death angel came
for Hattie Matilda after an apparent
illness of three weeks. She was not
strong child, but her immediate
death was not thought of until the
physicians pronounced her trouble as
anemia in a vigorous form, giving no
hope of recovery. To see the child
fade from earth with no human hand
to stay her departure wrung the heart
of the mother and all others knowing
of the scenes being enacted at the
home on Wall street just west of the
court house. OF course loving hands
ministered to her wants until she
passed away peacefully at S:45, De-
cember 22nd.
north Of Charter Oak, April II 1899.
Some five years ago her father died.
She leaves her mother and sisters,
Mable, Julia, Edith and Hazel, and
brother, Lester. The funeral was held
at the home on Saturday last, Rev.
LaReau, of the Baptist church otticiat-
ing. AS three of the sisters are in
different classes of the high school
their classmates sent special floral
tokens. Six little girl playmates of
the departed one acted as pail bearers.
The casket was taken to Charter Oak,
accompanied by the Borrowing rela-
tiveS. Only those who have had eX-
perience with anemia can fully appre-
ciate the feelings of the mother. The
hope of a reunion before many years
is giving much comfort and also the
expressed sympathy of her friends.
The family make public the following
card:
We wish to extend our thanks to
the friends who assisted us during
the illness and death of our dear
daughter and sister. We also wish to
thank those who sent flowers, espec-
tally the school classes.

ORGANIZERS FEEL ENCOURAGED.
Those Who Organized Boy Scout
Movement Are to be Congratulate
ed on Success Attained.

Those who encouraged the Organiza-
ton Of the Boy Scout movement have
every reason to be encouraged with
the success which has attended their
efforts. We understand that three
patrols are already filled and initiated
and three more are filled and ready
for initiation, and two more are in
process of formation, which is more
than was anticipated by the most san
guine at the time the movement was
taken up. This is not only cOmpll-
mentary to the efforts of those who
have the matter in charge, but in addi-
ton shows the interest which the boys
are taking in the movement. The
young men of Denison are striving to
interest themselves in matters which
are elevating and which will result
in making useful men of them. From
every standpoint the scout movement
is beneficial 1t furnishes education
and exercise to the young men; it
throws them under good influences
and into the intimate association with
a class of men who will help them. 1t
is worth a great deal to the young
men in a community to have the bust
ness men and other leading citizens
interested in their welfare. This
movement insures this result among
many other good results.
We are delighted to hear of the
success of the movement. We under
stand that one squad of young men
went on a cross country trip the other
day and as far as Arion, where the
new dredge is at work on the county
ditch. The young fellows walked to
Arion and back again and felt better
for the effort.

better than usual. We have not heard

merchants that their trade was unsat-

not more than usual. A great many
people entertained their friends Christ

which was observed as holiday

ENTERS INSURANCE BUSINESS.
County Superintendent F. L. Hoffman
Quits School Profession for Life
Insurance.

F. l.. Hoffman, after seven years
service as county superintendent OF
our public schools, closes his labors
in that office with this week and
leaves the school profession perma-
nently. He has accepted special
agency and district managership for
the New York Life Insurance COM
pany and will devote all his time to
the business of selling first class life
insurance. His field will be here in
western Iowa so that he will make his
headquarters here in Denison. He be-
lieves that Denison is as good place
as there is in Iowa for a home and
with fine new policy backed by this
old reliable company he feels per
fectly safe in relying on his friends
and hard work to bring the desired
results in his new work.
Mr.. Hoffman expresses himself as
very grateful to the people of CraW-
ford county for the many favors of
the past years, but he feels that he
cannot longer afford to continue in the
office at an ordinary salary with no
promotion. He is looking to the flu
ture for that rainy day as many other
school men are doing. Within the
past month the city superintendent of
the public schools at Carroll, Fort
Dodge and Ida Grove have resigned
their positions to go into other work.
Last year three other school super
intendents in this vicinity quit the
school business-twO for the farm and
one for law. If this rate continues
among our school men he will soon be
superseded by the school maam alto
gether.
