Botz, one of the best horsemen in the county; The stallion is said to be one of the best ever brought to this part of the state. The annual congregational meeting of the Presbyterian church, announced for Thursday of last week, failed to materialize. It is suggested that "snap judgment" be taken on the congregation and hold the meeting some, Sunday after the regular morning service.

A large crowd attended the dance last Friday night, and all unite in pronouncing it the most enjoyable "bop" given in Manchester for sometime. Abner Beach, was manager of the affair, and that he made a success of it was proven by the attendance and the good time enjoyed by all. Reed's orchestra furnished the music. At the Presbyterian church last Sunday morning Rev. Richards asked his congregation to decide whether or not the revival meetings should continue another week.

The vote was in favor of the propo sition and the meetings are still in progress. Rev. Richards and his co-workers feel very much encour aged with results so iar and invite all Christian people to join in the work take part in the meetings. Song and praise service begins each evening at 7:15 and preaching at 7:45: Tommy, the eight-year old son of Mr. Thos.

Mr. Dungey was driving a fractious horse and the boy, in attempting to clilnb into the buggy, got his foot caught in the wheel.

So with the Manchester school, as last week County Superintendent Dyer made us a visit and encouraged teachers and pupils by an appropriate address, urging greater accuracy in school work and not to be almost boy or girl in any work in Or out or school. But Friday the unexpected happened. While in the throes of our regular examination we were sur: prised to see the school board in a body coming up the stairs.

Of course it "didn make our hair stand on end," because it was a treat not often to be recorded by any teacher. But why should any board of education treat their teachers as most of them are treat ed I It surely is a mistake. What other class of workers are thus used? Our merchants, farmers, or any corporate body of men are ever on the alert, seeing that their employes are within keeping of their respective duties. This calls to mind an old church deacon in eastern Pennsylvania who was more notable for profanity than Christianity. On a certain occasion the pastor called on the deacon and constrained bim to leave off his bad language and offer prayer instead.

Whereupon the deacon gave the preacher a critical survey and wanted to know what they paid the preacher for. The answer was: "Preaching and praying for sinners like you, Brother Deacon." "Then," said the deacon, "darn you, do it." So I suppose we as teachers are to be preachers while many school board members do the deacon act. Suffice it to say, our board expressed a desire of approval and it is to be hoped they will find time to call again. So mote it be. A.
