The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1879-01-04

bills audited for services for the month
of December, 1878, they found that the
time of a week, the Christmas holidays,
was deducted for the months services
$23 in the case of the Grammar school
and 1926 in the Primary. The teachers
we're of course surprised, but submitted.
Now, this proceeding is the first Of the
kind that has ever occurred here, and it
should be the last, and the money de-
Quoted should be returned. The teachers
were hired by the calendar month at q
stated monthly salary; il holidays occur,
by order OF the Trustees, during any
month, they should not be made to pay
tbs expense, 40 they stand ready and
willing to teach during such holidays
and but obey the orders of the Trustees
in dismissing school, and should not be
the sufferers. Every one knows that
teaching school is not blissful occupa-
ton, and what money is paid for it is
we'll earned.
New YEARS DAY.-The first day of the
year 1879 passed in Phoebe in very
quiet manner. The annual resolutions
INDUCED in by the Swearing OF"
brigade had the effect of making matters
very quiet. The day, although mild,
was lowering and cloudy, with every ap.
pearance of another storm, but gradually
cleared up towards evening and made q
beautiful moonlight night. The custom
of calling, usually observed on New
Years Day. and wishing "a Happy New
Year, was INDUCED in to very limited
extent, owing so many of our ladies not
being prepared to receive. The New
Year in this locality has commenced
with rather poor outlook, but we hope
the ending Of the year will be much
brighter.
A New Passion Wednesday morn.
ing we had laid on our desk some very
prettily gotten up cards, wishing IA
Happy New Year to the Record Publish
ing Company" from Osborne 4 Nc
Intyre. This is the firm name of the
young men who have lately received q
press and q large amount Of printing ma
terial for job work. All the misses of
this locality can have very pretty and
neat visiting cards printed by this firm,
the price charged being kisses-Billy re.
ceives the pay whilst Tommy does the
printing. The boys expect by the first Of
April to be conversant enough with the
business to issue a small quarterly paper.
We wish them success.
