Al this time, Union Is probably in better

the safe.
We are preparing to erect fine building
for a Graded School, for which 1000 In
town bonds have been issusl.
We have two 6ns lots upon which oar
p- ssent male and female school houses stand,
and the ssboel Trus' ees, We believe. propose
TO sell one Of thsm, and apply tho proceeds
,s 4 suI plement 10 tbe $1,000 already ap-
propria'sd.
Ifn,ithcr of,hess town los is large enough
we have Two or three magnificent elevated
s't.s overlooking tho town, and within the
corporate limits. with plenty Of Land attach

We do moi know wnetner tne Uv-Ne 49,.

Now. with these substantial advantages &
build upon. AMI in view Of the fact that 'h'
Sthe woulI spend mary thousand dollor
moro in the erection Of suitablc building

be taken by the School Trustees, the citizen

1t is probable that IL W II require NOR

other lsca'i,ics will offer more. That shsult
not be allowed to stand in the way Of ou
making man y and honest effort to secur
