The regular meeting of the Wee j | Nee Literary society was held Friday, November 14, and was presided | over by Miss Thorn. The pro| gramme for the afternoon was carried out very nicely by the members. Selections were first read, and then the debate opened. The 'query was: Resolved, That the j different nations should pay toll to , the United States for coming I it L Dnnomo AQnol mrOUK" me x aiiauiB vuwwi. This was a very interesting query, and one that had good strong points on each side. Each debater brought them out with force, and when the decision was made, it was found i that the affirmative had won by one point. We were very glad to have as a visitor, Miss McLees, and enjoyed the talk that she gave us very much. She told us about the advantages that we had over the country schools, and we certainly ought to take advantage of our oppor nnJUoc ft'p think of the kinds of schools they have and how anxious the children are to go, and how far they have to walk. Mr Swittenberg and Miss Cromer gave us some good advice also. We are always glad to have it given to us, for it always helps us in our work. It was with great regret that the school said good bye to Miss Sara Gray, our seventh grade teacher,Friday. Her health has been failing for some time, and at last she had to obey her physician's orders and give up. We hope she will be able to return to us after the Xmas holidays. In the meantime Miss Belle Harper is filling her place. COTTON GINNERS' REPORT. Number of Bales Greater Tban at Same Time Last Year.
