Kurniture con structed is neat, comfortable, and attractive.

Al ter Miss l-'ul-kerson had taught one or two terms, it was found difficult for her to secure a boarding place. Again the patrons got together and talked things over; the result was . that a nice cottage wus built for the teacher ami in this cottage wus placed a complete line of house keeping furniture. During the present summer n good well has been dug and a pump installed. As a climax to a school ground, a good fence has been built inclosing the entire grounds. J hope, you will pardon me, Mr. Editor, for being so en thusiastic about this school, but when you think of this district not voting bonds ami contracting a lot of debts, and yet accomplishing what they are doing, you will have like views with me. They have a normal trained teacher paying her $imuui per month and furnishing her a bouse to live in. Only six or eight pupils, but their scholarship will rank with any school in the county. Tho sad part of iny story is that Miss Kulkerson is resigning to ac cept a position in t ho Sea-side schools near her home. A II who have become acquainted with Miss Kiilkci son's work will huvo the kindest remembrances of her and will wish her success in her new field of labor. The sehool board at Fox Hill has selected another very capable nor mal trained teacher to finish out the term. If you want to know what real co-operation and self denial will do for a school, just visit Kox Hill school. Sincerely, K. A. Suyre, County School Superintend em.
