New Public School House..
TO BE ERECTED IN SOUTH MEXI-
CO IF THE VOTERS SAY so.
Proposition to be Submitted to the
District TO Issue 5000 Bonds
at 8 per Cent. to be Added
to the Building Fund.

The School Board held an interest
ing and important session last night.
Immediately after the board was
called to order,a petition was present
ed, signed by prominent business
men from all quarters of the city,
asking the board to submit a propo-
sition to the voters of the district to
issue bonds to the amount of so, 900 at
5 per cent. interest, the money thus
raised to be added to the building
fund which the board has accumulated
by careful management, from year to
year, and to be used in the erection
of a suitable school house at some
point in South Mexico.
That such a building is necessary is
shown conclusively by the crowded
condition of the school and the board
was making preparations to build on
the south side when the petition was
presented. But as n third of the
children in the school live on the
south side it was determined by the
board that the amount of money on
hand would not build a house large
enough to accommodate them and so
it was decided to act IN the petition
and the proposition will be submitted
at once. The tax will be a very light
one, being only s cents on the 500.
The board has ample means in the
treasury to purchase all furniture and
heating apparatus and buy the
grounds for a building site.

HARDIN COLLEGE BOOMING.
The Board of Directors Decide to Erect
an Addition to the Building The
Schools Remarkable Success.

AT a meeting of the Board of Direc-
tors of Hardin College Saturday it
was decided to build an addition 80
feet in length to the east wing of
the College, work to begin al soon
as contract is let, which will be in a
short time. 1t is the wish of the di-
rectors to have the addition finished by
the first of October. 1t will be of brick,
contain about 80 rooms, have all the
modern convenieuces, such as electric
light, bath rooms, wash rooms, etc,
and will accommodate from so to 60
boarding pupils. Needed improve
ments will be made on the old building
and about the grounds new portico
will be erected in the front, granitoid
walks will be put down and the camp
us generally improved and beautified
so that it will be one of the most hand
some in the country. Nothing will be
left undone for the comfort and con-
venience of the pupils of this widely
known institution.
ACTUAL want Oh room To
date patrons demanded that the a
pacity of the college be enlarged.
President Yancey was before the board
of directors and stated that up to this
time applications had been made by
boarding pupils to more than fill the
present building and that four weeks
remained before school commences;
that letters were pouring i'll on him
from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast
from parties desiring to send their
daughters to Hardin; that they must
have room to accommodate them.
The board very promptly made the
order for an extension of the building
and all young ladies who apply for
admission will be accommodated.
The session begins September 4.

THE WADE FAMILY REUNION.
Sixty-Seven Descendants of An Old
and Highly Respected Family
Have a Reunion.

In the year 1852, Nancy Wade with
her two sons, Robert and G. P. Wade,
and her daughter, Permelia Coons,
came to Missouri from Kentucky.
Robert, his mother and sister located
in Galloway county and G. P. Wade in
Mexico. They all lived to see their
families grown and most of them mar
ried.
Their children and grandchildren
planned a family reunion on August
18th near Salt River Church, that be-
ing the most central point. On the
appointed day both the old and young
members of the family came with well
filled baskets, and nothing that would
add to the pleasure of those assembled
was forgotten.
Robert Wade, surrounded by his
children, grandchildren, and great
grandchildren, was the happiest one
there. His sister, Permelia Coons,
was present also, and although the
face of C. P. Wade was missing he
was well represented by his descend
ants.
The Youugers, Brattons, Gays, Lam
berts, Wades, Evermans, Coons,
MORNINGS, Bickleys, Moores and
Cauthorns composed the crowd Of
sixty-seven that g II present. Sew
eral of the younger members of the
family met on this occasion for the
first time. A most enjoyable day was
spent and all present were sorry when
the time came to part.

Bourn Badly Frightened,

"UncleBillie"Bourn who lives north
of town, was scared almost out of his
wits Sunday night after he had retired.
All at once he heard 4 report like an
from 4 cannon at his front
door. AS Mr.. Bourn is partially deaf
he thought possibly something in the
house might have fallen, but when
his two nieces came down stairs four
steps at a time in a frenzy of excite
ment he knew something vas wrong
and made a thorough investigation.
The young ladies think some one fired
a gun in front of the house, right at
the door. No one was see about the
premises. If it was the prank of a
practical joker and his indemnity can
be revealed he ought to be prosecuted
for disturbing the family.
