Needless to state that the visitors came accompanied with the dainty array of comestibles necessary neces-sary to appease the delicate appetite of the professor for such things. After discussing the good things thus provided, pro-vided, a very Interesting program of songs and recitations was rendered, at the conclusion of which Mr. Harold Swift, in a few well-chosen words, on behalf of the assembly presented Mr. Skldmoro witli a beautiful gold mounted fountain pen. Mr. Skid-more Skid-more was deeply affected by tho evidence evi-dence of the esteem In which lie Is held and responded feelingly. The work done In our district schools under un-der the gentleman has been of an exceptionally ex-ceptionally high order, and no principal princi-pal has endcaicd himself more to his pupils than has Mr. Skidmore. There is an absolute unanimity amongst all the people of Wellsville that Mr. Skidmore be retained as principal, the gentleman's consent being the only thing lacking to accomplish this consummation con-summation so devoutly to be wished. The Wcllsvlllc.Co-op has decided to offer a reward of $200 and the city authorities $100 for Information which will lead to the capture and conviction convic-tion of the dastards who the other night attempted to set lire to the old Co-op building.
