A SCHOOL Row.

Int GraNs Plain school distrlcr k hay ing very disagrecahle time with it's school, this term; iu fact they are not having any school ut all just now. The row seems to b. about teacher Ia, L year Martin Ryan nI- committeeman, but this year the school meeting was the scene of lively contest and George Vim ton beat Mir Ryan by one vote and was elected committeeman for this year. At that meeting MT Ryan told the district that he had hired rhe former teacher, who waa his daughter, for another year. Mr Winton evidently thinks that he was the one Go hire the teacher instead of Mir Ryan, and refuses to lot Miss Ryan into the schoolhouse to open the school, though she goes regularly to the school building every morning and tries the door just before the time for school to begin. In the meantime Mir Winton is looking for another teacher. The school board has been ap ealrd to, but they thought it was matter the district should decide and therefore refused to act. Miss Ryan holds certificate from the board to teach, and the question now seems 10 be whether she will get a chance to use 1t. The courts will probably be called on to lend a hand in the matter.

A GOOD Isp1cATroN.

IT IS A SIGNIFICANT FACT THAT
 many medical practitioners of prominence are now prescribing regularly, for the al deviation and cure of all diseases spring ing from derargement of the digestive and secretory organs Dr David Ken nedy's Fayorite Remedy, proprietary medicine, put up at Rondout, N. Y., by the physician whose name it bears. This professional endorsement is justified by the fact that no other preparation has been found SO efficacious in all that class of disorders, even in the most advanced and severe cases. It has in numerous in- stances, cured gravel in the kidneys and stone in the bladder, allayed inf1amma- tion and arrested wasting away of the kidneys, where all other medicines had failed to give relief. It is pleasing'to see the profession liberal enough to accept and prescribe a proprietary medicine, even when it is known to be good.

THE ATTENDANCE AT THE OPENING, THIS

The number of young men and boys taking the high school course Is the largest in the history of the institution. The work of organi- zation and classification has been com pleted more quickly, this year, than ever before, owing to the fact that there were no change of the regular teachers, and there Is a sufficient number of teachers to do efficient work, even with an increased attendance.

MT Nolan purchased the entire surplus stock of the Bedford Shoe Mfg Co. of Bostonaat 90 cents on the dol lar, and Is selling it at prices which have created sensation among Bridgeport shoppers. There is one thing which should be borne in mind, and that is the fact that MT Mollan's is the oldest estab lished shoe business in Bridgeport, and what he advertises he has, every time He cannot afford to romance in his ad yertisements

The schools open next week. Shoes for the children are ready; and there's nothing more important than a word of wisdom about them.
 The most comfortable shoes for girls are shoes without heels-spring heels they are called-the soles at the heels are thickened a little. Wide enough soles, wide enough toes, spring heels, good fit and proper leather. All these are necessary for comfort. We have them from 75c up. The most comfortable first class spring heel shoes-the shoes for nine out of ten to buy-are our Wear Resisting shoes. Have had 'em for years and know all about 'em. Children's sizes, 8 I-2 to 10 1-2, $1.25; girls sizes, IT to 2, $I.25.
 We have other shapes for mothers who care more for what they call "style" than for comfort. We'd make every body wise and good if we could, especially about their children. But they who are neither wise nor good have children; and we must supply them with shoes to pinch the little peoples toes to a point, and heels to ti p onto the shoes, if they will have them so.
 Boys shoes likewise se-spring heels even up to the age when a good heel is better, Wear Resisting shoes with spring heels, sizes 9 to I5 and half, one dollar and twenty-five cents; without spring heels, sizes eleven to two, one dollar and fifty cents; sizes two and a half to five and a half, one dollar and seventy-five cents.
