Miss Maud Luck, our popular and attractive teacher of Forest Home
School, finished her term
Saturday, March 4. The school-house was
beautifully decorated with evergreen and the dance which followed was
much enjoyed by all the young folks. We are sorry to lose Miss Luck from
our neighborhood, as she endeared herself alike to pupils and patrons.
Those who received prizes were Olive Combs, Gordon Cato, Olasy[?] Powers
and Mortimer Moore.
Mr. Leary Cato, of Washington, spent a few days with his parents

Sunday with friends near here.
