crew of men working ever since repairing and finishing

cided to put on a

whether damaged or not.
We have decided to rid our store of everything that'
was here the night sf the fire, and replace it with new

School Notes
pi
The Publio Sohool desires to thank
atrons and friends for the splendid
patronage on the evening of tbe sohool
entertainment. The reoeipts were
$52.95 for admissions. Students were
admitted free, exoept that some insist
ed onjpaying their admission to help
tbe cause alongyTbe net proceeds
will be applied to legitimate expenses
of tbe sohool, snob as piano rent, lab
oratory inoidentals, atbletios etc', a
full statement of whiuh will be filed
with tbe sohool board. j
The book keeping olass has grown so
that another table is demanded.
It grows dark so early these even
ings that students oannotsee .-to do
their work. The eleotrio lights will
be appreciated with joy and acclaim.
The High Sohool tasket ball team
will play Weston tonight at that oity.
Let a goodly number go and make tbe
ocoasion a noCess, socially especially.
Our connty schools should cultivate
a good school spirit. Games should
be Btriotly supervised and all unnec
essary roughness eliminated in tbe in
terest of clean sport. It is well for
some teaoher and older ones to ac
company students, not to bandioap
boys and girls in all legitimate fun,
out to help the young people to prop
erly interpret and appreoiate the true
spirit of atbletios.
Mrs. Baymond C. B. Brooks of
