GRAHAM, Young COUNTY. June A-To-
day we have had some local excitement over
the election of school trustees. A few
weeks ago new election on the question
of incorporation for school purposes was
held-all voting incorporation. 1t seems
from some technicahty, perhaps too much
territory, our old incorporation for school
purposes was held illegal. Anyway we had
a good school all winter, and when the pub
lie school closed this spring, Mr.. Peak, one
of the teachers of the public school, contin-
ued three months longer with good. at
tendance, on subscription. We all want a
good school, and it seems that both banks
desire to run it.
