We intend to have a picnic at Cor inth school house on Saturday. Mar. 19. 1910. It is in District No. 1. In grams Township. We waat to have educational address, and also an iddress by a represt ntatlve of the Farmers' Co-operative I'nlon. We want, not only all of the neigh bors and patrons of the school to come and bring dinner but any oth ers who are in search of a day of pit asure and profit combined. And this Is not all. We want our school to be the center of interest in the neighborhood, and in order that it may become a Joy forever, we must make it a thing of beauty. Our plan Is this: Each woman who will be so kind as to help shall ask some gentleman of her acquaintance. (1-et the married ladies ask their husbands and the single ladies, young and oth erwise?their brothers or their, beaux) to accompany her to Corinth | school house on Saturday, March 1!'. | She must carry dinner for the gen- c tie man and herself. She must also J bring some flower seed, a plant or I a shrub, to place in the soil of our | school grounds. Now flowers will not flourish in unimproved soil, so It follows if she j wants the plant to flourish (and we | think she will, for she will have the j privilege of naming It) she must 1 bring a sufficient amount of suitable fertilizer. The gentleman's part will be tu4prepare a suitable bed for the plant. We will not name the tools ; that he should bring, but will state | for his benefit that the ground will j need to be cleared of shrubs and ! small stumps. | This is a work in which every one ; can trke part and find pleasure. Many hands make light work, so let many come and enjoy the addresses and the dinner and help beautify the grounds. Mrs. D. J. WELLONS, Teacher.
