BEN 5ELLINQ, Manager
Change of Boundauiks County School
Superintendent Starkweather has on file
a petition signed by a majority of the
voters of Marmot and Ames joint school
districts, asking that all of sections 26,
27 and 34, lying north of Bull Run river,
be included in the territory of the latter
district. At present this territory is in
the Marmot district, and the reasons
given for the change is, that it is more
convenient for the children to attend
school at Ames. All petitions of this
nature are required by the statutes to be
kept in the county cuperintendent's
office for a period of 10 days, and if no
objections or remonstrance is made, the
changes in the boundary lines are
officially made. Changes can only be
mule in the boundary lines of school
districts, when a petition is signed by a
majority of the voters, who are residents
of the districts interested, but the super
intendent can form a new district in
unorganized territory upon the petition
of three voters.

During the past week someone stole a
small duck that we were trying to fatten
for our Christmas dinner, our pet roost
er has disappeared and our winter stock
of vegetables is getting low ; but the
worst of it all is the fact that the Semi-

not be able to loan its "best equipped

ery to do its printing with. If some
tender hearted delinquent subscriber
will pay up or send us something to ap
pease our hunger we will try and sur
vive the mental anguish.
