Miss Nellie Jeffords. You will acknowledge it is very well written for a girl of that age. Our sister town of Greeley, accord ing to telegraphic reports, was so proud of their saloons, and the aid they extended to their schools, that they dedicated their new school build in that town with the aid of a bottle of wine a school teacher breaking the same over the frame work of the building. While riding his pony last Saturday the animal stumbled and fell, throw ing Cash Pritchard violently to the ground, cutting a bad gash in his forehead just over the nose, breaking one of his front teeth and otherwise bruising him severely. Luckily no bones were broken and the boy will be as good as ever in a short time. But it was a tough tumble all the same.

He has a state-wide reputation as a splendid instructor, and the fact that he has served several terms as county superintendent of schools of Hitch cock county gives evidence that the school board lias made no mistake in calling him to the head of our city educational interests.
