DODGEvILLE.

The qualified electors of school
district No. met at the high school
building last Monday night and
voted a tax of $500. The meeting
was the most harmonious that has
been held in the district for years.
Three thousand dollars is intended
to be used as salaries and $500 for
the contingent fund. The result of
the meeting speaks well for the pro-
gressive and enterpfising spirit of
the citizens Of Dedgeville and it no
doubt will be gratifying to the
friends of education to know that
when the question on taxation came
up there was not one dissenting
voice. The work for the past year
has been perfectly satisfactory and
it is to be hoped that the same
corps of teachers can be engaged
for the next school year.
The school board is the same as
last year with one exception-Mr.
P. Peters superceeds Benjiman
Thomas, Jr as treasurer.
Thomas Kennedy superseded
John Bennett as assistant internal
revenue collector, and went to Mad
ison last Tuesday in responce to a
telegram from A. c. Parkinson, to
look after the dnties of his Office.
The building committee for the
new county asylum. met at the court
house last Tuesday to open and

those who saw him fall that he was not badly in

self from the boards of the fence but it was sool
discovered that his injuries were fatal. He ut
tered only few words and expired.

Mourn not that you are parted.
Sigh not that you are lone,
Say not you're broken hearted.
For was he not His own?
No longer shed the tear
For thy departed one;
Nor sorrow Ger his bier,
But say. "Thy will be done"
There, robed in spotless white"
Is he not happier far?
Though hidden from your sight,
There's naught his joy TO mar.
Then cease thy sorrowing moan,
Nor longer weep and pine
For when He calls His own,
Will not his home be thine c.
