The Miller School board decided last
week to place another grade in the city
schools, and employed Mrs, j. X. Failing
as teacher. This brings the school back
to its former standing OF four grades.
The board also decided to admit outside
scholars free OF tuition.
The amount collected so far this school
year from scholars living outside the
township is 1880.
Is it necessary for the tax payers of Mil
Ter township TO employ an exrta teacher
SO that scholars from other townships
Eaay be taught here?

COUNTY INSURANCE.

One of Hand county's best farmers, who
lost considerable by being insured IN the
alliance hail company, requests the Press
to suggest to its readers the advisability
of forming hail insurance company in
Hand county. His idea is to create To-
cal organization, select officers who are
well known for integrity, and conine the
insurance to Hand county farmers, accept
ing only cash payments. This suggestion
comes from John Struif, Of 1850, and
the PRESS believes It could be put into
practical ani profitable execution by the
farmers of Hand county.

BALL GATES.

Three games of ball were played
or partly played in the twin cities Oh
Sunday. - F''''
The second nine of Rudolph crossed
bats with the third nine of Grand
Rapids on Sand Hill, but after three
innings each, the score stood Is to 4 III
favor of our home youngsters. Rudolph
was satisfied that it was vanquished and
so the game was thrown up.
The "Pumpkin Hills defeated a
club made up of Centralia boys on the
Centralia grounds. The score we were
unable to learn. The third game was
between the Pittsville club and second
nine of this city on Sand Hill. 1t was
a rather poor uninteresting game,
replete with errors and wild throws
throughout and was ended at the close
of the fifth inning on account of
darkness" the score standing II and
10 in favor of the home club.
