Isaac Wolfe has moved on to the
Brady farm south of Conway.
Miss Jessie Wycoff, one OF Con-
ways popular teachers, spent Satur-
day and Sunday with friends at
Spencer Hill.
Tne Spring Hill school is making
preparations to give an entertain
ment the last day Of school, which
will be February 20.
Geo. Burnett says that the boils
he has on his back and head would
exhaust the patience of any ex-print-
er's devil on earth.
Harry Wycoff has hired to work

ing season, while Bert Hoop will

Worder McCommon who has been
quite sick with pneumonia, is much
better. One Of his little sistersis re-
ported to be sick with the same com.
plant.
II some Of the citizens of this
neighborhood, instead Of going to
town every day, would fix some kind
of shelter for their stock and not let
1t stand out in these cold storms it
would be much more human and
christian like. Yet they profess to
be christians.
Miss Ola Schisler closed her first
term Of school Wednesday at the
Beacon Light with an entertainment
at night. A large crowd was present
and the program rendered was very
good. The entertainment was a
success in every respect and reflect,
much credit on the teacher as we'll
as pupils.
Spencer Hill has good literary
which meets every Friday evening
and a good time is reported by every
one who attends. The question
discussed last Friday was, the indian
and negro question, and after a very
heated discussion the judges decided
in favor Of the negro. Every one
enjoyed the paper edited by Winnie
Meyer.
The Sunfower literary is doing
some good work, but owing to a lit.
tie misunderstanding, the question
for debate last Saturday night caused
several to be displeased. The de.
bate did not amount to very much
on account Of the subject discussed
The question for next night, is: "Re,
solved, that the Signs Of the Times
Indicate the Downfall of the Repub.
lic." Gregory Allen has promised to
lecture on the finance Of the country
atthe next meeting, February 9th.
In regard to the school boundary
question, which is the all-absorbine
topic in aud around Conway, woulC
say that your article in the VOICE o.
January Slst you state that the peo.
Pile in the districts adjacent to Dis.
trict l04 desired to be admitted ia
District lO4, or Conway Springs dis.
trict. Such is not The case; but, or
the contrary, Conway Springs is pc.
titioning to have this territory added
to theirs. As for District III, there
is not taxpayer in the district who
is in favor Of having this district
ruined. es it would be if the desired
change were to be made, simply tc
build up school at Conway, or in
other words, to lower the taxes Of
one or two individuals in that place
who are better able to pay than are
the farmers Of the surrounding COM
munity. Mr.. Editor, if you will
take the time and trouble to look up
the proposed changes, as desired by
J. M. Harper and others, you will
surely agree with US when we say the
interests Of those in District III
should not be sacrificed for the pur.
psse of building up a school in an
adjoining district. And more than
this, it is rumored that there is a
scheme behind all of this to enable
parties in Conway to dispose Of some
property which hangs heavily on
their hands. ANDY.
