Thomas Wilkie has hired Ben. Pip
er's place.-W. P. Smith has bar
gained his farm to Elmer Leonard of
Evansville for $900-Both terms of
school in district No. have been
taught by Miss Louise E. Staples of
Barton Landing, who is thorough
and efficient teacher, and has given
general satisfactlon.-WaT Leland
has built a large shed and has finish
ed hall in the upper part of it. War
zen has been an old Snowman and is
probably getting ready to have some
sort of an exhibition. He is a demo-
crat and possibly may be planning a
democratic jubilee up there.
We have been solicited to publish
articles in the interests of this village
and of Barton Landing, as the best
places for the location of the county
buildings, but inasmuch as there is a
difference of opinion, doubtless in
1uenced in part by the interests or
location of the writer's, and from the
fact that no possible good can come
from the discussion of the matter in
the papers, we decline to give space
to anything that may engender i'll
feeling between the two villages in
this town. While we are more than
willing to do anything for our town,
we can see that the whole question is
to come before the committee of To-
cation, when the three points in COM
petition will have opportunity to fair
ly and fully present their claims. 1t
is well understood that each place
will do this, and hence any talk pro
or con is unnecessary.
We do not learn that the locating
committee has been announced and
have no intimation from official
sources when the committee will ar
rive in the county.
