sprung something new in a resolution to in,
4ulre into the proprety of building new

from the prospee. of Democratic incumbent

callers house is separated an announcement dis
tAnce from the Jail and requires expenses to
properly guard and care for prisoners that
might be avoided if the jail and house were
contiguous. If the lot and present house can
be spared and disposed of perhaps no addi-
uoaal tax upon the people would be needed
Tor the proposed building. If so and If new
house would be an advantage or benefit to the
people, nor when idle men want work and
labor Is cheap, is the time to build it.

classes in the Lancaster High School for
long time last year. The pupils had the op
portunity of acquiring pretty thorough know

teacher would utilize maps and historic notes
of the countries described the use of these
letters would be found better educators than
the repetition of text book lesss,s.
