SCHOOL CLOSING AT SUMMERFIELD

One of the most successful terms of school ever taught in the little
Summerfield school house was brought to a close last Tuesday.  Mrs. Leeda
White, who has taught there for the past eight months has not only showed her
great interest in its pupils in various ways but she has also established a
friendship among her patrons that will never die.  

Though little time was spent in getting it up the program was very nicely
arranged.  The entertainment was opened with a song which was followed with
rescertaions, dialogues, etc.  Music was rendered through out the occasion by
the Faraldo Orchestra.

Professor J. N. Warner made a splendid speech on educational advantages.  He
told of the many advantages in the high Schools yet he did not fail to remind
the boys and girls that some of the greatest men and women of the day came
from the little country school room.

Captain C. H. Teal, after getting over his stage fright made a nice speech and
told the children lots of funny things which they seemed to enjoy.  

A royal dinner was spread on the grounds which was devoured with little
confusion.
