This school section was organized in 1852, and the present building, which was built in mgot, is the third school. It is a com- fortable brick building, with ample playgrounds. Evidence of the way the rural popu- lation is decreasing is found in the fact that in 1870 this school had 145 pupils on the roll and now there are only nine. Fifty of the old scholars clerks won, score 7 to 6. On Friday evening the Savages won from the Tigers by 23 to i8.

The daily, with its flaring headlines and its sen- sational news, coining red-hot off the wires, that tell us what is happening in the great outside world, is a very necessary visitor to our breakfast to-' hies. But there is another world - the world of our own home town - where all the actors on the stage of life are known' to tis, where the way each acts his part in the drama of life is a matter of personal interest to all, where sickness and death, losses and accidents arouse something deeper. than the passing curious interests with which we ' read ofsuch happenings to unknown persons in the daily newspa- pers, and' where the outstanding sue - cess or the winning of distinction by members of this little world becomes matters £or pride and gratification to the whole community.
