Poor old Lynn is gone A
short time ago some one met

long journey never to return
How we miss the poor old fellow

supreme that several memorials
have been erected in the shape of
dry-goods boxes placed upon
posts we suppose to keep mem-
ory green until something more
appropriate can be obtained
Well why doesn't it snow? Can
any one tell? We think a little
snow would give some of the
school boys something to do be-
sides teasing their teacher It is
a shame the way some parents
will allow their children to act at
school and we think a few ex-
pulsions would be of great bene-
fit to the school
