Knowles station Items.

The citizens Of Knowles have for long
time felt the need OF better school facilities.
Within a radius of one mile from the vii.
lage church are more than sixty children
and not school house within that limit.
Several meetings have been held lately
with view of selecting various sites upon
which suitable building for a school room
and public hall could be erected. Last We'd
nesday evening at the station seven sites
were offered and a committee was named
to lay the same before the County School
Board 1t is proposed by the citizens to
form q stock company which will expend an
equal amount Of money as the Commits
sioners in the erection Of an ornamental
public edifice An improvement of this
kind is imperatively needed. 1t was set
forth that no section Of Montgomery county
was SO Poorly supplied as Knowles in the
matter OF educational facilities. The near
est school house is fully one and one-half
miles from the village center, and over half
mile from the nearest dwelling Of whites.
The smaller children cannot walk from the
village even on pleasant days, while during
rainy days or on excessively cold days the
roads are absolutely impossible for the
strongest. Each of the proposed sites are
central and easily accessible, and ii the
earnest and united efforts of all the citizens
of Knowles can remedy the matter II will be
done.
An interview has been had by a repre-
sentative from Knowles with the General
Manager of the B. & o. in regard to new
station building. A largely signed petition
has been drawn up setting forth the needs
of the roads patrons at this place 1t APP
pears that Knowles is the third station on
the Metropolitan Branch in regard to the
amount of business done, and yet not the
slightest housing for freight has been pro-
vided. The double track under contract
will stop at this point temporarily, which
will necessitate telegraph station. From
the tone of the interview mentioned above
tasty and commodious structure is looked
for in the early Spring.
The Knowles NJ. Il. Church has been
frescoed by Mr.. f. w. Streiby, the we'll
known artist at the capitol at Washington.
He was assisted by Mr.. George Kaufman, of
this place, young artist Of talent and
promise. The effect is beautiful. and is
rarely equaled as country church interior.
Quite extensive Improvements in this vi
cinity are being projected. DR.. r. B. Det-
rick has three new cottages under advise
ment at the west of the railroad. Mr..
Frank M. Fawcett will also build dwell
ing along side the present structure used for
a station. Mr.. Harr has underway plans
for four new cottages on his property just
below Knowles
Social matters are developing among the
youth of Knowles. Last week Miss Nellie
Baxter and Mr. Geo. Kaufman celebrated
their birthdays, and on each occasion a large
party of friends from the city came up
to make the anniversaries agreeable. The
presents were numerous.
