vited the Sunday school and several
of his neighbors to his home one day
They went and had all they could eat
and still he had some left,
There seems to be scarcity of
school ma'ams as usual this fall.
Whether 1t is due to the high cost
of living or the low scale of wages
Is not known, but it is probably
combination of both.

On Monday afternoon Charlie Ladd
met with a narrow escape from Sc:
rious accident. He had been to the
lumber yard after a load of plank
and was coming down the school
house hill, when the boards slipped
forward onto the horses, frightening
them. They started to run and at the
foot of the hill they turned north at
the rate of about forty miles an hour,
turning the wagon, lumber and driver
in bunch. They ran north across
the river bridge and were stopped
and brought back. Charlie was pick
ed up badly bruised. He was taken
home and as a result is pretty sore.
No particular damage was done other
wise.

day on account of Labor day.
Miss Mayme James, who has spent

ia with her brother Will and family,
returned Saturday night to be here in
time for the commencement of school.

get home as the family here was to
see her.

day morning for MarshalltOwn, where
