IA LIVER FEAST | Was Pleasant Feature of St. r Mary’s Township Teachers’ Institute. k i FAREWELL DINNER Given by Wilson Beery Who J Leaves Soon for Ripley County. I | The teachers of St. Mary's township and many triends of education met Saturday, March 9, 1912, at Pleasant ’Mills, Ind. The regular institute work | was carried out in the forenoon. A ' very pleasant non hour was spent at I the home of Mrs. Dan Roop, when Mr. i W. F. Beery invited the institute to , a farewell dinner with him, as he is | expecting to move to Ripley county in ' a short time. I The afternoon program was a very pleasant and entertaining one, consisting of music, recitations and diaI logues given by the pupils of the Pleasant Mills schools The pupils of the i various schools of the township then took their places for the spelling contest. The rules used in the former county contest were used, requiring ; the pupils to pronounce the word before spelling, give the capitals and possives. Mr. W A. Gulick, Rev. .1. iO. Hochstedler and Mrs. Lora Dallej I I were the judges, and Miss Matie Chronister and Dale Cowan did the pronouncing. The pupils took great | interest and showed that they had carefully prepared for the work. Miss Ethel oPtts of district number three was the lucky one to spell until the last, receiving a prize of $2.50 from , the trustee, O. J. Suman. Curgie Hobbs of the primary room of district number four received a second prize of ■ $1.50 and Miss Dollie Richards of dis- ' trict number seven, a third prize of ’ SI.OO. The teachers of the township . gave the second and third prizes. The following resolutions were adopted by the institute: Resolved, That the institute extend a vote of thanks to th erustee, O. J. • Suman, for his very efficient help dur- ! ing the school year now drawing to a . close, for his considerate treatment and kind words of appreciation. We , w ish him more abundant success in the future; be it further Resoidevd, That as this is the last 1 meeting of the year, we extend a vote of htanks to all who have contrbiuted in any way to the success of these meetings. To the patrons of the ' schools and friends in general, who have so kindly assisted in bringing the schools of this township to their present high standing.—Contributed. A church house in a certain rural I district was sadly in need of repairs, i | The official board had called a meeting l of the parishioners to see what could be done toward raising the necessary funds. One of the wealthiest and stingiest of the adherents of that church arose and said that he would give five dollars and sat down Just then a bit of plastering fell from the ceiling and hit him squarely on the head. Whereupon he jumped up. looked confused and said: “I —er —I meant I’ll give fifty dollars!" then again sat down. After a brief slience a voice was heard to say: "O Lord. 1 hit 'itn again'"
