Glen Flora Saturday was well attend

division being present. This again
testifies to the loyalty and professional
spirit of our teachers. The published
program was carried out in full. Each
topic was well handled by the speaker,
and much help was given and received.
The highschOl students of the village
school. and gOodly number of parents
spent greater part of the day with
the teachers.
The Ladies' Aid Society served an
excellent dinner to the teachers in the
basement of the new NJ. e. church,
that was much enjoyed and appre-
ciated by everyone.
Much credit is due to the Glen Flora

the marked success of the meeting.

Mr. Smith in No. / Wilson, reports
the addition to the the school library
of $500 worth of good books. Mr..
Smith has wisely thrown open the
school reading library to the patrons

is shown by the citizens. This action
is warmly commended by the county

others may do likewise in extending
the use of the libraries of the county.
