years ago, has sold out to Hiram B.

and it is hoped by all that the town
will fall in line with the movement for
increased salaries to teachers now
being considered by cities and towns
all over the state.
The gathering Of the wild flowers
found in Rocky Glen and on the slopes
of Mount Pisgah by the pupils of the

poetical significance and aesthetic
appeal to our finer sensibilities are
the cherished work and labor of
love to our local naturalist, Allison P
