agent who used to operate through
this section is missing, and it is sup
posed that he was murdered some

friday until next fall. 1t is thought
that there will be sufficient funds in
future to keep the school going ten
q months in the year. The session just
closing ran for seven months, and
students and teachers all deserve
9 much credit for the good work done
: The school is in fine condition, the
majority of the pupiles are making
> splendid progress in their studies,
and it is pity that sufficient funds
u are not forthcoming to keep the
IL school up till June. }
