says; but we have noticed several who went
back on such visits returned with an extra
"rib." That may be the result of this visit.

What has become of our road suervisor,
E. P. Carter? He has not done anything
on our roads yet, and if the work is put off
until fall as was the case last year it is not
ot any use to do it at all. If the water is
ditched off this spring and the scraping
done now the roads will be packed by fall
so we can travel on them ; otherwise the
work is useless. Our road up here has been
getting worse for the last three years; now
is the time to do the work.
The Marks Prairie people are having
their share of bad colds, grip and w hooping

Some of us are not through sowing oats.
Crops are looking splendid. Mr. C.Miller
has a field of rye w hich is headed.
Our teacher Chas. Rutherford had a
happy surprise on Thursday, the luth in
honor of his eighteenth birthday. As it
was a wet day I had to leave the plow,
whicn gave me an opportunity to visit the
school and hear the program. When he
entered ihe school room Thursday morning
he noticed that his pupils hud decorated
his walls and windows with evergreens and
other flowers on the sly. As the pupils
assembled, he was presented w ith so many
boiiets, the best our gardens could afford,
that it took him all his spare time hi take
care of them. Mrs. Ward informed him at
the last recess that there was a program
prepared, and asked him to give thechild
ren half an hour to themselves, which was
granted, of course. The pragram occupied
the time from 3:30 o'clock to 4:30 p. in.
and w as a total surprise to our teacher. It
ended with an address by him in which he
expressed his unworthiness, and thankful
ness. On Friday morning his pupils pre
sented him with a tine inkstand as a small
token of their love and esteem. W. W.
Ward, who bought the present did not
get back from Portland in time on Thurs
day and the pupils and we visitors were
disappointed in not seeing the gift presented
on his birthday. The pupils felt very
happy because they knew they had given
their teacher a happy surprise We judged
so by his looks.
