 l The two new houses north of the
 Plantsville school look good outside
 and the street looks better. | Flanders district school house is in a | place where the scholars can look on | to the Shuttle Meadow mountain notch and have mountain scene to look | back to, which is one that in a picture
 would look good.
 South of the West street school house
 there is woods and west of it, but the | south part is on line with the rest of the woods and borders the street on which the school house stands, the street running north and south. This | school house is small, but there are a number of children who go there and it | is as if they were in the wild places of Kentucky. That is so of many places
 in town, but people do not think of 1t in that way These children are fond of the woods.

 The electric lights furnish a clear light and are good to see by on the streets
 where before there was lamp light. | With two days storm passed over

 pleasing to the public, and find that there is nothing which at present takes up public attention to the hurt of all other things. Whatever is up for talk ] is quietly talked about for awhile, and every man has 8 pleasant word of his own. The cold of Sunday made you wear heavier clothing, and Monday, the day of the trial, it was 30 degrees above zero, which Is 2 degrees below where
