The NirginiaSheridan telephone
line was completed this week. The
boxes arriving last Saturday and were
put in place by w. G. Deimling Mon
day and are doing excellent work. A
little difficulty has been experienced,
but the defect was easily remedied and
! now hello Sheridan is a synonym.
The wire for private boxes will be put
in place at an early date, which viii
complete one of Madison 5 many enter
prizes. The telephone line, which was
started and completed within about a
month, will be a great benefit to the
people OF Virginia City and Ruby val
ley. The MADISONIAN congratulates
such an enterprise and wishes it bund-
ant success.
The city schools opened last Monday
and under the supervision of Professor
Hall every thing is thoroughly organ
lied and running smoothly. The Ell
| rollment is as follows:
High School Prof. Hall teacher 33
pupils, intermediate Josephine Me
Cloud teacher % pupils, Primary la
nette Davis teacher IS pupils.
BY recent examination of the school
library it was found that many of the
best books have not been returned
partly by neglect some of these have
been kept out for several years. The
library stamp on the first page will en-
able any who have these books to recog-
nize them as school property. An ef-
fort should be made to secure the re-
turn of these books for the use of
the school.
It is with much sympathy that we
chronicle the sad news of the death Of
Mrs. Catherine Moran, wife OF Mr..
Peter Moran, who resides near Laurin.
The deceased has been long and pat
lent sufferer Of that dreaded disease,
rheumatism, and for the past three
years has been unable to leave her
bed. She has been resident for many
years of Madison county and has the
sympathy of those who knew her. She
was buried in the Laurin cemetery
Tuesday and the funeral was largely
attended. The husband and remain
ing members of the family have the
sympathy of their many friends.
