FREEPORT.

          Mrs. Lola Thompson is on the sick list.
          Mrs. Ellen Bailey spent Monday with her sister, Mrs. Lon Cole.
          Hiram Crute, Jr., and Miss Myrtle Justus were at Greenfield last Saturday.
          Hayes Bentley, of Greenfield, was the guest of  Miss Myrtle Justus Sunday evening.
          Examination Thursday and Friday was a success, all the pupils making good grades.
          Mrs. A. G. Mellis, who has been seriously ill with heart trouble, is much better at this writing.
          Frank Wickliff, who has been suffering from a severe attack of the rheumatism, is able to be out again.
          Homer Middleton and family, of Morristown, spent Sunday with James Sleeth and family, of this place.
          The four prospective graduates of this place are sharpening their pencils and studying like "Turks" for the coming examination.
          A mother who is old enough to know says that the only time when children are not a care and a worry is when they are of a spankable age.
          The schoolmaster may be seen smiling at any time during the school hours.  No wonder.  A nine pound boy made its appearance at his home last Sunday morning.
          Some things we would like to know:
          Why Avery Cherry goes north every Sunday evening?
          Why all the people of this town have colds when they are so slow?
          If the dances of this place will be in progress during our protracted meeting?
"WE KNOW WHY."
