LOCAL HISTORY.
(Continued from ilrst page. )
he presented a bill for SI. 50 to
pay for part of what ho had fur
nished, and tho school directors
authorized ttie payment of the
bill. This method of obtaining
fuel for the schools continued
until 1855, when tho school direc
tors decided to sell the contract,
to furnish the fuel for each
school, to tho lowest bidder at
public sale of the same.
Until 1858 nobody seemed to
think that an outhouse, for con
venience of teacher and pupils,
should bo provided for a school
house. I suppose the reason for
this was, that there were thick
woods near every school house.
When Fulton Institue was built
in 1858 an out house was erected
on the school grounds. This was
the only one ia the township un
til 1802.
One of the customs connected
with old time schools, was that
of "barring out" the teacher. If
a teacher neglected or refused to
"treat" his pupils at Christmas
time, he was right sure to find
the school house closed against
him some morning. During the
night the boys had gone -to the
school house aid securely fas
tened doors and windows on the
inside. The teacher coming in
the morning found the boys in
possession with a demand for a
treat.", If the teacher acceded
to the demand the house was
opened, if not he was supposed
to stay out until he did so. In
such cases the boys had the sym
pathy of the people in the school
district. Not often did a teacher
take the risk of being "barred
out after the demand for a treat
had been made upon him. It
was too unpopular.
In 1858, two teachers in Wells
township refused to treat on de
mand to do so, and were prompt
ly barred out. The teachers
made no effort to gain admission
to their school rcoms, but, after
a few days, reported the state of
affairs to the school directors,
who opened the school houses.
Soon after, at a meeting ot the
board of directors, they decided
that the senseless custom of bar
ring out teachers was old enough
to die; and, that far as they were
concerned, they proposed to have
part in its fuuerul. Accordingly
they requested the two teachers,
who had been barred out, to
make good the time lost from
their work, and notified the par
ents of the boys, who did the
barring out, that they would es
cape prosecution, by each paying,
promptly, his share of the ex
pense of paying the teachers for
extra time. Some of them ac
cepted the offered terms at once
but others not until they saw the
penalty of violated law and costs
of court proceedings staring
them in ' the face. Then they
paid what was demanded of them.
No barring out teachers in Wells
township since that time.
As stated, the tax levied for
school purposes in 1853 amount
ed to $:J04. 03. Five years later
the people were asked for con
siderably more than $500. There
was a steady, persistent and
growingdemand for better school
houses, and better facilities for
work in them. The old rule of 2G
days teaching lor a month haH
been abolished and 24 days were
required, and the custom, of
keeping the schools in operation
on alternate Saturdays, had been
relegated to the past also. Furth
er on, teachers were required to
study some standard work on
education and teaching, and meet
the school directors once in two
weeks for discussion of some
phase of their work. Failing to
do this without a reason satisfac
tory to the school directors, oue
day's salary was deducted from
the monthly pay of each absentee
at ajiy such joint meeting of
teachers and directors. There
was steady and marked advance
in Wells Valley schools along the
whole line.
About 18G0 the old time literary
society and spelling bee became
things of the past and it was in
deed an unfortunate day when
such was the case. O, the mem
ory of the hotly contested spell
ing bees at Gibson's end Diver s'.
Are the boys and girls, in Wells
Valley to day, such spellers as
we old timers of 1850 to 1800 were,
and how many of those boys of
10 years of ago, can appear be
fore an audience and express
their views on any subject ,with
which they are familiar in an in
telligent way?

Good, clean runs are a delight

Sometimes litter gets so filthy
that it is worse than none.
Turkey eggs set this month
should give good saliblo caicas
ses for Christmas feasts.
Leave it to the old hon to pick
out the best nest to lav in. She

Two sprinklings a week with
kerosene oil should keep the
house free from insect pests.
But be thorough.
Get the screens over the win
dows now, so that Intrud .ts will
not disturb your favorites while
they are asleep at night.
Are you troubled with crows
about your chicken yards? Cov
er the pens with wire netting.
That will fool the thieves.
Overfeeding must be avoided,
as must also underfeeding, lath
er extreme will stunt tho growth
of the young stock.
Can't expect to succeed with
broody hens, incubators aud little
chicks, these days, unless wo stay
close at home to meet all einer-
nicies.
Feed very little soft feed and
you will raise more chicks. If
you must feed soft stuff don't
throw it upon the ground. Feed
it in a small trough or on a clean
board. .
In heavy soil localities, gapes
are apt to attack your chicks, es
pecially when quartered on damp,
heavy ground. In light, sandy
soils this disease is practically
unknown,
Look suspiciously at eggs that
have been laid in a stolon nest.
They may be all right, hut tost
them carefully, lest you lead some
one who buys them to say things
that will make your ears bum.

Unexpected
Guests
The farmer and his wife were about to sit down to a
cold . supper when they saw some old friends driving
towards the, house.
The good wife was equal to the occasion thanks to
her New Perfection Oil Cook-stove.
She had it lit in a moment, and her guests hardly were seated
on the porch before a hearty hot meal was ready for the table
sausages and eggs and long railiers of streaky bacon, and rolls just
crisped in the oven and fresh coffee and the hostess herself as cool
and neat as if she had not been near the kitchen.
She never could have managed it with an old-fashioned range.
The New Perfection is the quickest, most convenient and best cooker
on the market.
