forty faces in the little post offices-al anX-
ious for ''the news"
'Tis said that Bollinger county will intro
duce into the next Legislature bill appro-
priating $1,000, to be used in building roll
ler-skating rink at the county seat. And
there probably will be enough damphool
legislators there to vote the appropriation.

That portion of this school district which
lies west of Ironton,we understand, wants to
be taken off and attached to the Arcadia dis
trict. 4 few years ago those same people
prayed to be attached to the Ironton district

sessed here: but now, when our schoolhouse
is to be paid for, they want to 'flunk out"
It's small business, and the people will no
doubt vote "No."

Yesterday morning. early risers-one of
whom we are always which-were treated to
the rather novel entertainment of q mule
runaway. A scrawny, dun-colored mule at
fached to a horse wagon came down the
street at his highest rate Of speed. looking
like a buck-rabbit on elongated legs, and
going by stiff-legged jumps. About half
dozen men tried to stop him opposite Grand
homme's, but he switched of to the right
across a vacant lot, and the last we saw of
him he was on dead run. We understand
the mule and wagon are the property of
