They have a larger enrollment and a better attend- ance. They do good work and Miss Hattie Lyle is teaching them a fine school. She expects to enter the Normal as soon at this term closes. Sprague is moving along very nice- ly under Mr. G. W. Scheer and Miss Katie Frank. They are beginning to plan for their graduation exercises and we are pleased to know they are not leaving these things until the very last. Both of these teachers ex- pect to attend summer school. Montgomery has a light enrollment but all but one were present and those who belong attend well. They have lost several by their moving away and | Miss Hattie | only have five on roll. Gault is teacher and is doing well but would like to have more‘pupils. She will attend summer school. Mt. Leonard has a light attendance due to colds. They were late getting started and as a result are behind other schools in their work. This was the first time a test had been made in this school and most of the, pupils did very-well, and are going to, do some special work in arithmetic and grammar. Miss Lizzie Chadwick is teacher and is satisfying all con-' cerned. Hume has a light attendance due to colds and grippe. The teachers are not escaping entirely either. Green Ridge is moving well with Miss Emily Woodfinas teacher. The following pupils have not been absent or tardy this year: Harry Shaw, Agnes Shaw, Earl Conley, Ester Con- ley, Russel Thompson and Verna ‘all the time. The attendance has |been good except when interferred with by sickness. Charley Cramer, | William Geneva, Lucile Geneva and Mary Searfus have not been tardy. These pupils are going to try the | spelling for two weeks and I am very |sure they will succeed. Miss Maude Morgan is teacher and her work is satifactory every way. She is a most excellent teacher.

Miss Jes- sie Mawson is teacher and this suc- ‘cess is due to her efforts. | The friends of Miss Holwell, the| ‘teacher at Mingo school, in Grand | River township, will I am sure, be school again after a month’s vacation. She had a severe attack of grippe and many of our teachers and pupils are in a position to sympathize with her. Quite an interest is being manifest- | ed as to what school will get the flag | in county graduation this year. The two previous years it has gone to the west part of the county and now others are saying that it can not go there again, while those in the west part say they are going to keep up the record. Life Saved at Death’s Door. “T never felt so near my grave,’’ writes W. R. Patterson, of Welling- ton, Tex., as when a frightful cough and lung trouble pulled me down to 100 pounds, in spite of doctor’s treat- /ment for two years. My father, | mother and two sisters died of con- sumption, and that] am alive to-day ‘is due solely to Dr. King’s New Dis- covery, which completely cured me. Now I weigh 187 pounds and have {been well and strong for years.’’ ~ Conley.
