On Friday and Saturday of last week,
County Supt Of schools, Chichester, held
an examination. There were eight appli-
cants, and Mr. Chichester says that the aver
age proficiency was higher than ever be-
fore Miss Mary Gustaveson has been ap
pointed to District No. 2, Town of Franz |
ness; Miss Bragg to Dirtrict No 10, Town I
of Sahlmark; Miss Belle Borrill District |
No. 8, Town of Rcndsville. The names |
of the other applicants are Ida Borrill, |
Agnes Torpey, Minnie Whitley, Emma |
Frisby and Clara d. Allen. II is probable
that either Miss IDA Borrill or Miss Frishy
will take charge of District No. A, this
town. Supt. Chichester desires us to say
that Miss Aliens examination, was worthy
of special mention.
The coming summer promises to be
quite gay one in this vicinity, the young
er members of this community are intend
ing to organize into clubs and societies tor
the purpose of amusement. The ladies in
tend having that Equestrian Club, and
have already formed a Sewing Society and
elected officers On the other hand the
gentlemen will have Rifle and Sportsmen
Club and a Base Ball Club These socie
ties and clubs will be the means Of afford
ing amusement and recreation, and will
help to pass the time agreeably. Some OF
the ladies are talking of joining the hunt
ers this season, and contemplate participa-
ting in the sport. We do not see any good
reason why they should not do SO, for they
, should have just as much exercise and rec
rcation Cor rather, in their case, diyersion)
as tie men, and as hunting in this vicinity
is pleasure, lowing to the prairies being
: so smooth as to allow hunting altogether
t by tean,) instead of a task, we for one
e would be glad to see the ladies arm them
selves and '"join in the chase Then
Il again the ladies' appear to decided advant-
t age in their jaunty costumes their cheeks
e glowing and eyes sparkling, and as the
t gentlemen like their company and the lad
: les look their prettiest and enjoy the sport
: we think it would be proper that they par
ticipate.
h. Many people will he surprised and pain
J. ed to hear that George w. Kibbe has
= turned enrbczzler and absconded, taking
y with him sum of money belonging to n
e friend of his This friend wishing to go
f te Minneapolis left Kibbe in charge of his
business during his absence, little thinking
that the man whom he had bcfriended
i would prove an migrate and rob him, who
II rot only placed implicit confidence in his
integrity, but had gEoyed friend in need
# and whose bounty had supported him for
n months; but the sequel Will prove that be
d sides being an ungrateful wretch, Kibbe
" was also IL rascal We haze charity for
O. those who err, hut in this case it really
all seems as though sympathy was misplaced.
r The facts ale as follows: Kibbc being left
, in charge of the business had fSll control,
It and last Monday made deposit at the
o bank; his friend, to provide for an
T. emergency, left him some blank checks,
signed One of these was filled out, and
:, being payable to bearer was promptly
= cashed This with small amount of
!. cash on hand was all that was appropri-
ated, 1t is probable that kibbe has es-
\ capped, but the police have been notified OF
4 the facts, and if in the State, he will pr0ba.
big be brought back. The whole transac-
n ton bears the stamp of a deliberately
!. planned fraud, aud its execution rather
- leaves the inference that kibbe was thar-
70 oughly posted in ways that are dark. '

d. sorry to have tc publish these facts, for
