The Last Bonds Paid.
The last Of the public school bonds
were paid this week and the thirty
Ave outstanding bonds taken up and
destroyed. In 1879 the city voted TO
issue $4,000 bonds to erect public !
school building. The proposition
was fiercely fought by many Of the
leading citizens, but was carried by |
the hardest work. The bonds were
issued Jan. /, 1880, payable in three
years and to mature in thirty years.
In 1884 the gradual retirement of the
bonds was begun and now in just
ten years from their issuance
the last of them have been paid and
the city has one ofthe best schools in
the State and owes not a cent for it.
1t is worthy of note that the schools
which opened with 324 pupils have
grown to double that number and
another building is badly needed to
accommodate all OF the pupils.

lenberg county, charged with stealing

district. Col. L. d. Sypert was APP
pointed to defend him, but he waived
examination before Judge Winfree
and went to jail till March, in default
of a $500 bond.
A Lunatic's Buried Treasure.

county, patient who was received
