Nottingham Ridge, January 19-Our school
IS progressing nicely under good management
Of Ella Larson and the scholars are very for
tunate in having her teacher for the third
year. The scholars tried TO show their appre-
citation Of her good will at their successful
Christmas program by presenting an appro-
pirate gift. Many crops of tobacco have
been delivered lately with most satisfactory
returns We are trying to brave the winter,
although the weather Is quite severe and
predict it frigid the remainder Of this month.
We have TO watch the appearance and signs of
the moon and prophesy for a favorable day in
order TO make cur trip over the ridge road Of
eighteen to twenty miles to VirOqua, through
the huge entertainments OF snow, Just because
the town members failed to repair the valley
road this fall for travelling conditions, which
would then have cost minimum OF ten TO nj
teen dollars. and that county and river road
is the Oldest ana most Travelled in winter and
most of the wood brought to Niroqua Is trans
ferred over that route. 1t is mostly felt in
these trying days, for fuel in Niroqua, hum
dreds OF cords cannot be moved OF course
we take the treatment as en- inhuman act
against Us and also unpatrI0tic TO the United
States, and soon for the comfort and beniht of
ourselves and our community will try to
repair that road for service. SNONBOuND.
