Misses Welch- Fitzpatrick and Berry, as
teachers, supported ably Principal VIII

the movements required by their respect

To the People of wa-Keeney and Vicinity:
Your committee beg leave to report
that, owing to different causes, the chief
of which was the delay of the passage OF
the bill for the encouragement of the SUI

thing for this year. The prospect is now
that we shall be amply repaid for delay

ample time for the perfection of the two
new methods, either of which, from what
we can learn, being preferable to the old
way, diffusion, the only way in sight

DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Loss of a House and Considerable
Property.

The sod house about half a mile north
west OF the school house in district 16,
was burned Friday night of last week.
The school house is about six miles a
little north OF west of Wa-Keenev, and a
short distance north of the railroad track.
The sod house had for some time been
occupied by Miss Ora Wilkin, the teacher
of the school in that district. Her father
went there in the afternoon preceding the
fire to bring Miss Ora home to remain
until over Sunday. Supper was served
in the sod house. The fire was made
principally OF cornstalks, and, as far, at
least, as the stove was concerned, it had
died out before the people took their de-
parture after partakipg OF their meal. A
neighbor in district 10 Mr.. Best by
name, we believe-went to Mr.. Wilkins
house Saturday afternoon, with the first
news of the disaster. An organ which
cost a hundred dollars, two bedsteads
and the bedding, nearly ell Miss Wilkins
clothing and other articles Of value were
destroyed. The sod house was very
comfortable and contained two rooms.
1t was owned by David Hanna, of Bogue,
Graham county, who has half section
of land in school district 16.
LATER-Since writing the above, in
reaches this office that the
house was plundered before being burned.
This is rendered certain by the entire
absence of various articles whose traces
fire alone could not destroy. Who is the
and the fire bug?
