White Town School.

Mr.. Editor: / am glad you are so
kind as to give the school children
space in your valuable paper for let
ters occasionally. / have never
written letter for publication. but
] will now make my first attempt.
We have fine school of sixty
FIVE pupils, and two as good teach
ers as can be found anywhere. Miss
Carrie Talbert is principal and Miss
Lucy Brown assistant. Our school
is abreast with any in the country.
Miss Brown is a splendid music
teacher.
Ihelieve the measles has about
died out of our community, and
those who were kept from school
on account of this malady are now
glad to get back.
Mr.. J. P. Talbert one of the
Grand Jurymen, who is on the edu-
cation board gave our school call
to-day. He said he found the larg-
est enrolment here of any school he
had visited.
Our teachers spent the time very
pleasantly from Friday to Monday
visiting in the homes of Mrs. Eu-
gene Mann, Mr.. Jno. Walls, Mr..
Julius Mann, and Mr.. w. T. Rey-
nolds.
The time has come for farming,
and this takes off about dozen of
us large boys, which we regret very
much, as we love to go to school.
Very little has been done towards
farming for our land does not have
time to dry before there is another
food of rain.
We had quite storm last night
! saw in last weeks paper a piece
from THE Sage of Mudville." If
we don't live in "mudville" l don't
know who does? We have been
mud-bound all winter. / never saw
such roads! There is a mud-hole
near Mr.. Luther Ridlehoover's in
which three horses have fallen with
in the last ten days. Thegood peo-
pie have been doing some work on
our roads this week, dragging them
with logs and filing the holes
with rock. This has improved
them to some extent.
Mr.. J. A. Deale had very mar
row escape last Saturday. His horse
becoming frightened on the bridge
near Mr.. Barden's, backed himself
and the buggy off into Stevens
creek, and it was only by jumping
that Mr.. Deale managed to escape.
The buggy was broken to pieces
and the horse would have drowned,
had it not been for the saw-mill
hands, who were in few yards
of the scene.
Our community deeply sympa-
thizes with Mr.. w. T. Reynolds in
the loss of his brothers. This
makes the second brother he has
lost within the last month.
With best wishes for The Adver-
tiser. r. T. w. IS
