E. D. h 1 Notes.
With ao enrollment of 112 students
which is an increase uf about 40 per
cent over last years \ve are making
this the best year in the- history <>f
the School, in fact every thing points
this way, We have gathered V hah a
of ceUnn from & acres and one hale
made an average uf Id \wr cent.
Cotton is by no means our best, for
our corn, hay, potatoes* and in fact
every thing has made au average
with cotton, this goes t<» ahow what
scientific farming has to do with our
previous average.
Our Foot Bail team is by far tin*
best we have ever had only yester
day we took the only game from
Norman Park it has ever lost on its
homegroud, therefore those that
know anything about their way of
playing only have to gue*a the ability
of our coach.
Our two societies are nowin fair
shape for good work and with th
instructions we are getting we un
sure to do some good work.

I lie such articles as we shall deem, will
1 be of interest as well as educational
l for as a great majority of the public
J have already realized there is no
greater need of education along any
line than that of praetica^nedicine,
1 to the every day needs of the public.
At the time of this article wc cannot
recall any subject which ought to
be of more interest to. you, than
a more liberal education of your
self and children, though you have
had the opportunity of enjoying long
these lines, naturally you ask the
question How can this he accomplish

ticle of this paper and we will front
time to time endeavor to show you
some of the needs of the public along
this line.

than you might suppose the task of

It has been the writers recent pleas-
I ure to present to one of the teachers

pounds and one year after a treat

twenty five pounds. This sounds no

is a constant attendant of the streets
of Douglas.
• This increase iri bodily weight does
