The Phoebe public schools will be closed
Cor the remainder of the year. and unless
energetic steps are taken by those inter-
..,ed even longer term. Yesterday
.r.ninp we called upon Mr.. Sultan, the
County Superintendent, who consulted
s;s hooks and found that the demands
.na;nst the district fund would absorb it
=, and still leave balance Of not much
laos than $1,000. Under this condition
~ things il was not thought well to in
~, any further Indebtedness, and SO the
s.ho,ls were closed. We certainly hope
,sst tbe incoming trustees, or some of
an, leading citizens will take some meas
ures to put the schools in good working
order, even il small special tax had to
be levied. Good public schools in
community like Phoebe is an absolute me-
cessity, aud should on no account be
neglected. With careful management and
well considered economy, the cost per
month of keeping two schools open, con.
Quoted by competent teachers, ought
not to be burdensome to our citizens.
We therefore hope that such action will

will be reopened early in the new year ct
the farthest.
On Saturday night the usual serenity
and business like GOODNESS that generally
obtains where the noble and manly art
of poker is being exhibited. was sadly
msrred. Two Of the players got into a
dispute about anteing, passing the buck,
or some other of the mysteries Of the
noble game. The angry passions OF the
disputants rose, and they rose, and then
they fell and "ft" and rolled round in
grand style, until one Of them endeav-
ored to prop open the others mouth
with his finger, which was resented and
the operator lost portion OF his digit
BY accident, OF course.
LIT OuT.-A couple Of frail fair ones
departed suddenly last week without
going through the ceremony Of settling
their little bills. Sundry dry goods mer.

heavy purchases on credit before they
left town. They were driven in buggy
to the Twenty-one mile house, and there
took the stage, leaving their confding
creditors in the lurch. It is whispered
that the festive fugitives intend to attend
the session of the Legislature at Carson.

taken lesson from Inspector Bucket on
such matters and appears to thoroughly
understand tho intricacies Of q business
which often severely tasks the utmost
powers OF the mind and nerves.
