it has well filed engagements, as the
boys give us at home little benefit of
their industry. Give us little music,

VIM. Kirkpatrick, brother of ]. A.
Kirkpatrick, of this place, who lives
about miles north of town, upon awak
ening last Friday night found his resi-
dence in flames. Before any help arrived,
his house and most of his household
goods were entirely consumed by the
fire. Several weeks ago Mr.. Kirkpatrick
returning home late at night, discovered
beneath his house little stack of ignit-
ed kindlings, the flames of which had just
commenced to lick the flooring of the
house. This former attempt to burn him
out, gives well grounded suspicion of in
cendiarism.
The school directors met Saturday
evening, June Goth, for the purpose of Sc
Letting the next terms teachers for the
Flushing schools. For reasons unknown
the result of their meeting was kept Sc
cret for one week. The general opinion
was, however, that all of last years teach
ers would be retained, with the except |
ion of one; and that Clyde Judkins, son
of Editor F. NJ. Judkins, or Miss Bertha
Sultzer, a last years graduate of the
Flushing schools, would be requested to |
fill the vacancy. The list of teachers Sc
lected, when made publicly was found to be
as follows: Superintendent, !. G. Bethel;
No. 8, Dora Beatty; No. 2, Bertha Sultzer;
No. l, Matte Hollingsworth. The select
ions made give universal satisfaction

made him many warm friends. His
friends here unite in wishing him every
success in his new field of labor. c.
