The school board, at its session last Mon
day, notified all concerned that, according to
the strict provision of law for such case
made and provided, the meetings of the Lit
erary Bureau could not be held in the pub
lie school building. The directors are right,
for the law must be obeyed, but we hope
the members of the Bureau will not drop
their meetings on account of the decision:
Another suitable place can be procured, and
we for one are willing to contribute to the
expense attached. -
The Xxi Clothing Company will probably
remove from its present quarters about the
10th ult., in consequence of an unreasonable
demand In the way Of rental. Some kind
friend has no doubt advised the owner OF
the store building ID "apop up the rent" for
the coming year, srguink that. the Company
would submit to almost anything rather
than to abandon the premises in which it
is now comfortably settled. The result, we
will not justify the conclusions
of the kind adviser.
We are glad to note that the spirit OF inn
provement OF the public roads in Iron coun-
ty is not dying out, but extending. Over in
the West End, Road Oyerseer j. F. Smith
has done some good work in the past year,
notably the changing of the road over the
Kaolin Hill; Ii now crosses that mountain
by going round it. There appears to be
rivalry between the overseers as to
who can do the best work for the least
money. 1t iss good fling for the public,
and we h alo. an early day to see good
roads all oyes the county.
