Mar. 4. Brite and fair. Went to church to-day, the fernace smoked so
the people had to come home. They say they will have it fixed before
next Sunday. i hope not.

Mar. 5. School closes tomorrow. i got kept after school tonight for
whispering to Cawcaw.

Mar. 6. School closed today and we voted for prises. Mr. Gordon give
4 prizes for the 2 best fellers and 2 best girls for the term. So we
voted for them. Most of the fellers wanted to vote for Jenny
Morrison because she was the prettiest girl there and can go the
greeshun bend better than enny girl in the school. and most of the
girls dident like Jenny Morrison and wanted to vote for Dora Moses
and Mary Luverin, and the girls wanted to vote for Lees Moses
because he was polite to them and rather go with the girls than the
boys and we holler at him, but he can fite for i saw him lick Gim
Erly one day, and Gim Erly can rassle better than enny one but Jack
Melvil. well most of the fellows wanted to vote for Tady Finton or
Pop Clark or Skinny Bruce because they never get mad or cry when
they are licked and make lots of fun, but we knew they coodent get
the prize for they are all the time raising time and getting licked
and so we voted for Honey Donovan and Moses Gordon, and when the
votes was counted Dora Moses and Mary Luvering got the prizes for
the girls and Mose Gordon and Nigger Bell for the boys. That was all
write about Dora Moses and Mary Luverin because they was the best
girls and always went together, but we dident like it very well
about Mose and Nigger, only we thought that so long as Mose's father
give the prizes Mose ought to have one. i gess most of the girls
must have voted for Nig, because they was mad with Lees Moses. i
know what they was mad at too.
