WON HER WAGER.

1nnumerable gas jets in the great hall
OF the armory. Hundreds of people in
motion. Temperature tropical.
A murmur of voices mingling with the
indistinct strains of the waltz hurry the
crowd along.
The masks continually greet one an
other after the stereotyped fashion, be-
ginning with II recognize you, Don
Juan," or "How is your wife?" and end
ing with some stupid bit of gossip.
To Mr.. Henry H this was no
longer a novelty, and he felt tremen-
dously bored as he wandered through
the rooms, swearing at the crowd, the
heat and the senseless chatter on all
sides.
Lost in his thoughts, he had almost
gained the door, and drew a breath of
relief as he thought of his comfortable
bed and imagined himself in the arms of
Morpheus-his never falling friend.
But suddenly this annoyed young man
was startled by the tapo fan on his
shoulder.
He turned round.

Aspecal meeting of the school board was
held last evening for thepurposc of preparing
for the coming election Of school directors.
Members Stewart Blaxsm, Waite and
Schoentgen were present The first thing TO
be done was to settle upon the appropriation
necessary for the schools for the ensuing
year. After full discussion, it was decided
to fix the es stmates for the different depart
ments as follows School house fund, $4,000;
teachers fund, s35,0O0; contingentfund, s25,.
600.
The question OF the insurance of the new
building OIL the Cochran tract was then taken
up. Chairman Waite reported that he had
placed $4,000 insuran &C on the ew building,
subject to the action of the board. Blaxsim
wanted Waite's action ratified, but Schoent-
gen said no; two Of the members Of the board
were absent, viz. Hunter and Wells, and he
did want the action of the committee ratified
without giving them a chance to say some
thing about it.
And since you insist on pushing this bust
ness, MIR Blaxsim," he contin ued, 81 will
ask the secretary to note the absence of
quorum and Mr.. Schoentgen seized his hat,
overcoat, cane, overshoes and made break
for the door.
"Hold on, there" shouted Blaxsim, I'm
drop that matter If you say So"
Schoentgen. 'Weli then, I'll come back"
And Mr. Schoentgcn came back relu ctantly,
deposited his baggage on table and sat
down and looked contented. Explanations
then followed, each member trying to show
Just what he had meant, until everyone was
satisfied.
Superintendent Sawyer offered his monthly
report OF attendance, which showed the total
attendance OF bows during the month of Jan.
uary to have been SOB and of girls ,567.
Bills to the amount of 81 800 were allow ef
the most important being that of the Carbon
coal company for S5l9, the Globe pu bshing
company for S2S, and OF arle & McCabe for
S5?. The bill of the Burlin ston school furni-
ture company for S50T for the seating of the
Cochran school house was referred.
Some discussion took place over the ques-
tiOn of who would make up the registers for
the election. Il. n. Whittlesey had seen
some of the members and gained their con-
sent to his making them up, but some of the
members seemed to be opposed to the idea of
doing business in so informal manner and
after discussion the secretary was in
structed to attend to the work. The bill for
this work last year amour ted to about sl25
As way to choose judges and clerks for
election, it was decided that each member of
the board should take charge of one ward
and see that the judges and clerks for that
ward were appointed and notified The
wards were thus distributed: First, Hunter;
Second, Stewart; Third, Blaxsim Fourth,
Waite; Fifth, Schoentgen; Sixth, Wells.
The meeting then adjourned TO meet next
Wednesday afternoon at 2 O'Clock, when
for the purpose of looking over the building
preparatory to its acceptance.

Predictions for February Weather.

AS there are but twenty-eight days in

atmosphere than in January, but ''all
signs fail in dry weather." therefore we
can only say that the electric-iighted,

of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railway will continue to run daily be-
tween Omaha, Council Bluffs and Chi

Free Right OF Way,

Mayor Williams, of Lexington,
informs the Dispatch that right of
way through that town and depot
site for the Roanoke and Southern
Railroad have been secured, and
that without expense to the compa-
nv. The Messrs. Grimes Brothers
have offered to give depot site ad-
joining their flour mill in the very
heart of the town, and all the prop
erty owners on Cemetery street from
the mill to the western limits of
town have given their consent for
the railroad to lay tracks on the
street. The town authorities being
like minded, there will be no diff
Guilty whatever about obtaining a
right of way on the street. Ap-
proaches to the town from both di-
rections can be obtained with equal
facility. In fact, right of way is
practically guaranteed all the way
through the county, and it is rea-
sonably certain that the road can be
built from the Northern border to
the Yadkin River without having to
buy foot of land. This is an ad-
vantage that no other route offers.
