The invited guests were the school, board and the city teachers. A goodly number responded to the invitations sent out, yet we would have been glad to have seen more of the teachers present. The subject under consideration was during Thanksgiving week, select odds and ends or unsalable roods from their stocks and donate them to the charity funds of their locality, and I have also thought that every prosperous family or family of easy preme court and that tribunal has re dtiy LVCIV III llCllUVVttlO I.W yfr versed the lower court and ordered judgment entered, making a permanent injunction.

If this method was adopted in every locality, it would not only enable the merchants to get rid of some of their goods in a way that would be appreciated, but would leave their store in a better condition to show up the goods that was left. And the parties who donated wearing apparel or furniture from their dwellings, would find their premises look better without them, besides which the act of doing good to the poor would stimulate them to feel disposed tOjbuy other i an additional burden on the land for which the owner is justly entitled to compensation." i iThis means that the telephone com bristles with the bost values ever goffered.

Some of those present had known something of this work, and I think all were in favor of it, if it would not involve the teachers in too much extra work. The Winfield teachers are already over-worked, and this seemed to weigh heavily with Borne, others thought it would not increase their labors much. An expression from the teachers is to be presented at the next meeting of the school board. This is an entering wedge, causing an arrost of thought and we hope to gather the fruits by and by.
