Ikf of County Superintendent E. E.
Bragg. Y?ith the tilling of school
now but a month or bo away, the sup
erintend lit "s cilice is naturally re-'
sumlug.its regular swing of rou'ine
school year business. . Reports from
the varioi'g school clerks received at
the superintendent's office bear out
tho statement that all the dts ricts
are to be successful in employing
competent teachers without .delay la
the..openiDg :ot school, . Jt 's not al-.
ways so, however, and In years past
r'it has sometimes been a difficult task
to fill all the schools with teachers.
; Mr, Bragg also asserts that the hlga
schools of the' county will get a largi
percentage of eighth srade graduates,
about SO per cent of th? total appli
cants having' passed required mark
ings during the summer examinations.
This Is a much higher average that
prevails throughout, the state.
I within two or three days the G. M.
i Richie building, corner Depot and
1 Washington-, will be ready for occu
pancy and within about 10 dayg Hen
ry & Carr, furniture, dialers and un
dertakers, will move the undertaking
department of their establishment ln
I to the new and up to date quarters.
The n'w building will carry only the
, undertaking Hn?, bsing equipped with
; a chapel calculated to comfortably
i seat about 100 people. The room and
.'facilities necessary and relat'd '.o the
nnder'akins proresa'on will be sup
plied once the new structure Is ready
for1 occupancy. ' The front is especially
modern and neat, and the building im
proves the block considerably. .
Mr. Richie said today that the com
ing week, and more likely the next
two days, will see the building com
plete In every detail and the next
move Is to equip the chapU and othr
rooms of the buiV'ns;.
