THE LAST ROLL CALL

Dear MT. Editor.-If you will al- low me little space in The Journal, l will try to write a few words that may interest some of your readers, especially those who have been asso- eiated with me as public school teacher.
 Twenty-six years ago, at Mt. Zion (the old log house) I called the roll the first time. Today, at Oakland, 1 called it the last time.
 Great and many have been the changes during this period of time. Many families have been completely broken up never to be reunited in this world.
 have taught forty-two terms Places and number of terms at each as follows; Mt. Zion 2; Logan school house 3; Oakland, IT; Oak Hill, 8; Paroquet, 1; Duekpuddle, l; Scotty, 9; Texas, 3.
 l can think of few of my first pupils who are now grandfather and grandmother, but at present will call them my boys and girls. They are scattered over thousands of miles, many, l know not where.
 can count forty-five that have crossed the cold Jordan of death, among them one of my own boys. Probably others know nothing about.
 Several little boys and girls who attended my school at Oakland this winter, are children of my boys and girls of by-gone days.
 taught my first term of school at Oakland tmy home district) twen- ty-two years ago.
 My career as teacher is at an end l have given the best part of my life to teaching. have nothing much tc show for 1t except poverty and old age, but I hope my efforts have not been in vain in every respect. 1 can. not refrain from saying that an greatly indebted to my dear wife who has patiently and lovingly borne the hardships and inconveniences oi country school teachers wife for { quarter of a century, and. has shared with me the joys and sorrows of life for twenty-ffine long years. 
 Boys and girls, let me say in con. elusion that we'll never meet agair as teacher and pupils. We have ex- perienced our last roll call in this life but let us So live that When the Roll is called up Yonder' we'll meet to part no more Now, PlI bid one and all an affectionate farewell.
