of her classmates. Most girls don't like to take such long walks and fool with grasshoppers and all kinds of insects, but Florence does. She follows Miss Blackiston cheerfully over hill and dale, over and under barb-wire fences, wades through rivers and climbs trees. Her only regret is that "Little Hatlie" can't be with her. Florence is quiet, but always ready for a joke and a good lime. The "Stoney Way" is her only dread for the rest of her life.

Bessie has ihe looks of a staunch suffragelle. Whether she happens to be one or not is of minor consideration, since she is one of those human encyclopedias and knows all the points on either side of the question. BESStE is good natured and kind hearted, and never seems to know when she is being imposed on. Because of this we fear that a great many people borrow her nature study notes after she has carefully written them up. Bessie may have the laugh on us in this case, however, because she knows that she knows, and knows that we do not know all that she knows, even if we do have her notes. (I

Farmville January, 1912, on the train that runs only once a week from Grayson County. She took up her abode in "The Old Maids' Inn," and surely she has done to

much credit to the Inn. Locky certainly did get into deep water when she came to the '"Wells" in the second grade. My! but those children had to walk a straight line for "MisS DelP." The greatest thing about Locky's personality was that she was always "on the job" when you needed any help, such as getting hooked up, and other small matters. She is naturally conscientious and serious (as all old maids are), and has raised the morals of this institution quite perceptibly.
