Mrs. L. HOLLAND attended graduating exercises at Wilber last Friday evening, 
and we understand that seven of the class of eleven were her pupils some ten 
years ago when she was one of the most popular teachers in that school.

We had the pleasure of attending commencement exercises of the Wilber 
schools last week. All the exercises were carried out in such a manner as to 
be a credit to both the participants and the school. The names of the eleven 
graduates were as follows: Emma HOLTZ, Altis FAIR, Beatrice TUCKER, Nellie 
ELLIOT, Mable GRIMM, Maude VAN DUYN, Willie McGINTIE, George THOMSON, 
Lizzie HARVEY, Maud EARLY, and Walter STOUT. this class has worked under 
considerable difficulty this year on account of the sickness prevalent in Wilber 
for so long a time, but through perseverence and energy they have done a 
year's work not to be ashamed of. The entire work of the class has been 
satisfactory in every particular and a credit few can claim is due to Prof. 
BONER and the school board for the ability they have shown in the 
management of the school.

TURKEY CREEK ITEMS.

From the noise we heard Sunday evening we supposed Geo. DE LONG 
was successful with the cannon he has been making for July 4th. The boys 
of this neighborhood seem to be on a strike and have left home for "pastures 
new." We rather trust they will find out "There's no place like home."

Mr. JUSTICE has been at work building an addition to his house. 

Mr. WHITCOMB and Mr. STORY have been down in Turkey Creek making 
a great deal of noise. I wonder if they thought they would frighten anybody 
with blank cartridges.
