the past several years she has had
two anti they are hi a more prosper

during that long and eventful peri

Then, in McPherson Academy,
she bits a grand old institution of
learning that has shed its benign in
fluence upon the youth of the entire
county for many years, that has giv-
f n to the county sons and daughters
ho have proven themselves not only
ornaments to her own society but
that of surrounding counties
The Gaxkttk is proud to record
these facts. They auger well for
the youth of that commuuity and
