Our school was changed to two.room
school last Monday, with Miss Anna
Allaire as teacher In the primary room,
and things we're going along nicely when
chicken-pox made its appearance, and
the cases increased so rapidly that by the
end of the week the rooms were getting
pretty we'll emptied. 1t was theL decided
children got over said malady sufficient
to begin again. There is good sized
school here this winter.
Our people got lot of nice chestnuts
the past week as the frost and wind were
favorable for the ripening of the nuts.
The s. & II. had a freight wreck near
Hastings last week that put the passenger
train away late, but it made its trips just
the same. They were also detained the
day before so that the school children did
not get to Kingsley until about nine
o'clock in the evening. The passenger
train has been sure-footed lately but we
cannot say the same for the freight and
log trains. The late winds have also
made a lot of trouble with the telephone
line OF this railroad, but there is a better
time ahead, and farther on the way grows
brighter.

There were 40 or so Maccabees who lost
everything they had at Austin during the
late flood. and their brothers here are
making up donation for them. This is
the right thing to do and ifevery member

would mean lot TO those brothers at
Austin. We do not realize the real awful
ness of the situation while so far away
from the place.
