 4 Surprisingly Successful School
 Entertainment.
 On Friday night, May 18th, l at tended the exercises at the closing of the Wye school. The house was crowded with visitors, the most of whom were from the adjoining dis trict in Perry county, with a few from Bigelow and other points. Mrs. Erickson, county superintendent, was also out. Mrs. Erickson delivered a short talk in which she deservedly complimented the school and teach CTS most highly. She said amongst other things that it was the first time in her experience as superintendent of schools that the entire eighth grade class had passed 10 the ninth grade. She also organized a 5. l. A. She said that this school could by com plying with certain small require ments, such as changing the entrance to the building and building another room or placing partition in the present building. obtain federal aid and that that should be the first ob- jective of the new organization.
 c. H. Underwood, president of the school board, also made short talk in which he said that he as well as the entire community were proud of their school. It has been the best school ever taught here, said he. He should know, for he is the founder of Wye, having secured the postof- flee and having been the first post master. Mir. Underwood is so proud of having been the first mayor of Wye that he is still called mayor.
 I wish to say individually that the teachers, Miss Ruth Margaret Boards ley and Miss Grace Holbrook, assist ant, have done a wonderful work in training the children here and have shown themselves to be two of the very best teachers in Pulaski county. Mir. Underwood says that there has not been a word of complaint and if any one doubts our judgment as passed above let them ask Mrs. Brick son whether we are right or not.
 A quadrille by fourteen girls, all dressed in red, was very fine. I can say nothing more complimentary about their singing than to say that 1t was as good as the boys whistling, which is the best I ever heard by a class of small boys. They, the boys, with their faces blacked. gave min strel performance equally as good as the girls quadrille.

 Blackberries and dewberries are growing right up to my cabin door. The latter are getting ripe, but I never get a one, for the birds always beat me to them. Some evenings I see berries nearly ripe, but when I go after them the next morning they are always gone. We'll, let them have them, for blackberries will soon be ripe, and there are enough of them for all of us. Huckleberries are also turning and there is big crop of them. It is all right for the birds 10 have the dewberries because they pay for them with the sweetest of bird music. They sing so much that I can be said to have ! centinu- ous bird concert performance.
 The other day while was resting after cleaning up my dinner dishes a squirrel parked so consistently near my door that finally went out to see him, only to find out that it was a mocking bird, which was so de lighted at the success of its perform ance when came out that he gave me some real bird music.
