On account of the very disagreeable weather the Turlington Graded School closed yesterday until January 2, 1918. The- disagreeable weather has made the attendance for the past few days very slim and the work was not at all satisfactory. After due con sideration it was thought that it would be much better to close now and make up the time next spring. The teachers who live out of town will leave for their homes today. Tli" Herald wishes one and all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. A Card of Thanks. We wish to thank those who have been so kind and helpful to us during Mr. Parker's illness. Also for the pounding we received Monday. I pray that God's blessings may rest upon each one. MRS. JOHN PARKER. TURLINGTON GRADED SCHOOL NOTES.
