ADDITIONAL School ROOM.-The
overcrowded condition of our schools
made it necessary for the Board of Edu.
cation to make some provision for relief.
So last Tuesday special school meeting
was held to vote tax to buy additional
school-house sites. The meeting was
well attended. 1t was voted to levy a
tax of $1,000 for the purchase Of the
Universalist church property in this city,
which consists of the chapel and two lots.
It is situated very conveniently to the
school building, being on the north side
of Bridge street, on tile block fronting
the school-house. The building can be
made just what is needed for school for
one of the primary grades. The meeting
also voted tax of $500, or so much
thereof as necessary, for the purchase of
a school-house site in the Third ward.
Prof Leib's class is not full enough
to make success. Will the music low
ing people of Austin lend hand this
week We need twenty-five more schol-
ars. Do not be afraid that the class will
interfere with school, as arrangements
flict with school hours. Scholars need
ing the vocal class. Send in your names
to e.. B. Crane or Dr. Phillips Wewant
a large class of children under twelve.
Remember, tickets to class are 50 for
adults, 81 for children under twelve.
This is your last week of grace; if the
class is large enough this week, the Prof.
and his assistant will come, and if not
large enough, he will in all probability
go to some other city.
October, by tradition the month OF
weddings, is on its last days. For it the
handwriting IS plainly outlined on the
wall. The sands ebb very low in the
glass. Two more days are its allotted
month of the dying year, the month of
the sere and yellow leaf, will itself be
dead. 1t is time already to say, good
bye, dear old month! Your days have
been balmy, bright and sunny. We
would gladly have you larry longer, but
as other months have come and gone so
you too must go. We dread bleak,
clustering, drear November, but move on
we must; the sands are falling, and
Father Time beckons US; and soon
grizzly, gray December; and tIien good
bye to 1884. But two months left of the
old year-the winds soughing through
the dead branches echo this. 1884. are
we ready to say good bye? Have we
kept clean record? Now is a good time
to take a retrospective view of the past
ten months and to begin to build upon
our many failures, better, purer, higher,
stronger for another year.
There are no finer dry goods houses
in Southern Minnesota than we can find
in Austin. Friends, if you don't believe
it, come to town and see for yourselves.
Hall & West can at all times compare
with any. J. Solner s. Co. are always
just a little ahead F. King carries a
fine stock, but want of room prevents
good display. We can recommend these
houses for the finest of goods, and the
best quality, and it always pays to buy
goods of this character, and as to prices
we know you can save money by COM
ing to Austin to make your purchases.
These houses have now splendid as
sortment Of fall and winter dress goods,
f1annels, Woolens and all lines; cloaks in
all styles, beautiful plush, Russian circu-
lars, Newmarkets, ulsters, etc., etc., in
silks and WOODEN, and their goods have
been selected with great care and with
special reference to Austin trade. Ladies
who have looked over Chicago fall stocks
and prices, come back to Austin to buy
their winter cl0aks. Remember these
houses when you come to Austin. You
need not send to larger cities; our mer-
chants will send in your orders, and
you can make your selections from
samples.
