Class meeting every Sunday morn
ing at 10 o’clock. We had a very in
teresting and helpful service last Sun
day, the attendance was good, but
there was room for others. Why not
come out to class next Sunday morn
ing.
On Sunday morning at 10:30, the
pastor will preach from the subject,
“Christ’s Love for His Own.” The
subject for our evening discourse will
be, “Courageous Men.” To these, as
to all services of our church, you are
cordially invited.
Sunday school at the close of the
m irning service. Brother McKeen is
.uur very efficient superintendent, and
is anxious to see every member of the
school in his or her place every Sun
day. We can find a nice place for you
ir you care to tarry with us. Try it
next Sunday.
The Junior league will meet Sunday
afternoon at 3 o’clock. We are in
clined to say, that hereafter nothing
shall interfere with our Junior league
service, that it will be held every Sun
day afternoon, if possible. Let the
Juniors, therefore, take notice and be
i in their places every time.
• The Epwortbians should every one
try to make the Devotional service,
w hich is held every Sunday evening at
7 o’clock a splendid success, and we
can do it, if every one will come out
and come prepared to take an active
part. This service, while especially
for the young, is open to all and every
body is invited.
Prayer meeting every Thursday
evening at 8 o’clock. We spend a
part of the time in the study of the
Sunday school lesson and enjoy it very
much. Should be glad to have you
with us at any time.
T. S. Watson, Pastor.
Educational Notes.
We have already received word from
about twenty-five teachers who will
attend the Norfolk meeting. We hope
to hear from as many more within the
next week or two.
The Atkinson school board has
given its teachers three days in which
to attend the Norfolk meeting. Since
Atkinson has a candidate in the ora
torical contest the teachers from there
will go to Norfolk one day early in
order to attend the district contest
which takes place Wednesday evening,
April first.
One teacher writes that her eight
grade consisting of twenty-seven mem
*>» here, will enter the map contest.
Arbor day will soon be here, but
don’t wait for Arbor day to plant
trees. If each pupil of school age in
our county were to plant a tree this
year, there would be five thousand
planted inHolt county. Very little has
been done in the rural districts of the
county to beautify the school grounds.
We hope a number of districts
will make a beginning this spring
in tree planting and general improve
ment of the grounds and buildings.
The general appearance of the school
property is a good indication of the
amount of interest and pride possessed
by a community.
Florence E. Zink,
County Superintendent.

tion in the district court praying for a

the county clerk’s office to the north
half of the northeast quarter and the
east half of the northwest quarter of
section 19, township 32, range 11. The
petition alleges that the deed is “void
and worthless” because the property
belongs to the plaintiff in fee simple.
The plaintiff alleges that this deed
has detracted from the value of his
title to the amount of $500, for which
he asks judgment
Since toe terrible Collinwood school
fire a reformation in school-house con
struction has swept the country. The
O’Neill school authorities see the
need of something being done to in
sure greater safety and will act ac
cord ingiy. The board of education
has decided to change the doors of the
school building to swing outward in
stead of in and some additional doors
will be cut through partitions. The
board is also contemplating equipping
the building with fire escapes. Mean
while, the faculty is drilling the
pupils in a system of marching from
the building.
The leap-year tradition, whereby
women are permitted to “propose”
every fourth year, is said to spring out
of a wild legend about St. Patrick.
St. Bridget, sad because so many of
her countrywomen were unmarried,
applied to St. Patrick for a solution of
the difficulty, whereupon he suggested
the one which has lived down to pre
sent memory. The tale runs, says a
writer in the Bystander, that St.
Bridget, charmed with the idea,
promptly put it into pratice herself,
her choice being no less a personage
than St. Patrick, who, finding himself
qnpble to give too cruel a rebuff, pre
sented a silk dress in lieu of himself as
a husband—hence the silk dress part
of the leap-year fancy.
A complaint was filed in Justicel J.
A. Golden’s court Tuesday by Mrs.
Ellen Mackey (nee Little) against Mrs.
JullaMinton charging her with assault
and battery. Hearing on the com
plaint will be had Friday of this week
It is alleged that the assault occurred
Tuesday morning about one block
from the home of Mrs. Mackey, who
lives near the creamery in the western
part of town. Mrs. Mackey, it is
stated, was on her way to church
when accosted and assulted by Mrs.
Minton and that she was confined to
her bed under the care of a physician
the remainder of the day as a result of
the severe bruises she received from
