KA HUAT H SCHOOL CLASS IM.a-.indy Kntertalncd by Tendier, Miss Daisy Strong. Miss Daisy Strong, always a most charming hostess, was at her best when she entertained her Sunday schbol class last Friday evening at a "school party." The guests were received on the front piazza, "the play ground," illuminated with Ja panese lanterns. Then a bell was rung out loudly from the front door and the hostess annuonced that it was "time for books." The parlor was arranged with straight chairs as a school room. Desk matos were chosen by an arithmetic lesson, the girlH working the sums, the boys holding the answers. When they were seated at the deskB they drew straws for "head" liv the alphabet class. Miss Frances Strlbling, who stood foot, was the only one who succeeded In saying tho alphabet backward. The pupils were then given slates and lesson questions id geography, physiology, etc., the hos tess announcing that whoever wished a "drink" must hold up his hand, and one boy and one girl only could be excused at one time, and that the water was in that tin bucket with the tin dipper in it In the corner, and the lemonade was on the piazza. Needless to say the couples often availed themselves of this privilege. In the midst of the contest Mr. Wilcox, the pastor, was announced by Miss Cora Strong ns "a visitor to the school." Presently the bell rang for recess and as the pupils filed out to the piazza they were given paper bags full of good things for lunch. This was given with genuine school boy merriment and loud popping of paper bags. The teacher said "as it was Friday" she would let them have thc speeches out Of doors, and there was mvich laughter over "Mary had a little lamb." etc. Mr. Wilcox was then asked to address the school. His speech was a splendid lake off of the country trustee. The skilful assistant teacher, Mrs. George Sea born, then brought In the reports from the lesson papers.and the prizes were awarded. Miss Anna Strlbling and Guy McCarey each receiving a miniature satchel filled with choco late bon-bons, and Miss Frances Strlbling. of the alphabet class, re ceiving a linen A, B, C book. Those invited were Misses Kleanor Keys, Pauline Hughs. Anna and Frances Strlbling, Helen Beard, Mrs. George Seaborn, Messrs. Lewis Harrison, J. B.

We went, and wo say that he has the very best field of corn that lt bas ever been our good fortune to see. He has nine acres which will (without an accident? average a yield of a hundred bushels to the acre. Mr. Marett farms on the In tensive plan. He has a large field of cotton that is equally as good as his corn. We believe lt would pay all of us poor farmers to visit Mr. Marett and not lils plan or mode ol' farming and then follow it.
