NEW SCHOOL HOUSES.

NEW SCHOOL HOUSES.
Our neighborhood is highly elatcd over the pro-
spectivc new school house In our village. Thsh
long been much needed Improvement, but has
now become a necessity as the old house would
not be tenantable another year. Our Michaelsville
neighbors also deserve the appropriation for u new
school house. Their present house has for several
years. been unit for school purposes. In fact, the
second district has been much neglected in regard
TO school improvements. Only two new school
houses have been built In this district during the
past ten years. Within the large and hourshing
territory lying south of the railroad, the county
owns only one school house Our people therefore
feel that they merit little recognition from the
county and highly appreciate the action of the
Board of County Commissioners.
RUNAWAY.
On Sunday Mr.. s. B. Rckey's horse attached to
his jaeger, became frightened while standing at
Mr.. Michael Lays and ran away. When the horse

the horse becoming detached from the wagon ran
home, distance of Il mile and a-haf. 1t

his legs The fact that the jaeger and harness were
entirely demolished, and fine horse injured rem
