SCHOOL DINNER.
----------
A large number of patrons and friends gathered at the Cutsinger school in Hendricks township Friday noon for purpose to surprise Omer V. Day, the teacher of the school. The surprise was a success, as Mr. Day did not expect it. Large dinners had been the custom of the district for several years, but had been neglected for the past few years. The patrons sure proved their appreciation at the noon hour, as two large tables fairly groaned under the abundance of eats, but the teacher, pupils and patrons did justice to the eats. After the tables were cleared away the afternoon was spent in spelling matches and ciphering. During that time Mr. Day sent to a nearby store, where he purchased candy and cigars for those present. Mr. Day then gave a farewell talk to the pupils and patrons and distributed the manuscripts among the pupils. All left wishing Mr. Day many more successful terms of school as he had taught this year. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Hampton Yelton, Mr. and Mrs. Otis Moore, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hobbs, Mr. and Mrs. Otto Kendall, Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Sandefur, Mr. and Mrs. Henry L. Babb, Mr. and Mrs. Arch Mitchell, Mr and Mrs. John Sandefur, Mrs. Amanda Bass, Mr. and Mrs. George Bass, Mrs. Elmer Cowin, Mr. and Mrs. Streight Kendall, Mrs. Alta Compton, Mrs. Omer Day, Will Davis, Roscoe Gibson, and Robert Knight. --- Contributed.Thursday, April 3, 1913.

INCENDIARYISM. --- We learn that one of the School Houses in Hendricks Township, in the section known as the Parker neighborhood, was burned down on Saturday night week. That it was the work of incendiaryism is evident, and the particulars are about this, as near as we can learn: On the night in question there was a meeting of the Democrats of the neighborhood in the School House, and while the meeting was in progress four or five abolitionists came in, giving as an excuse for their intrusion, that they thought there was a singing school there that night. The Democrats finished their business and left, leaving the abolitionists in possession of the building, which was soon after discovered in flames. This fact, together with the assertion of a leading abolitionists, dubbed Esquire, made some time last fall to the effect, that, if a certain teacher, a Democrat, was employed he would burn the School House, makes out a pretty strong case, especially as the objectionable teacher was employed and had just completed his Winter Term, but as the affair will be brou't before a judicial tribunal we refrain from further comments for the present.Shelbyville, Ind.
