your city. Mr., FAIRIES has been
preaching here regularly once

Policeman Sam Hinnant re-
ceived a telegram from Black
Creek Saturday morning in
structing him to look out for one
Frank Allen, collored, who had
broken into a house near Black
Creek, and who was supposed
to be heading this way. In a
short while after receiving the
telegram. the Policeman saw a
strange darkey come up to the
railroad warehouse whom he
suspicioned TO be the man. On
being questioned by the officer
the darkey owned that he was
Frank Allen and that he was
guilty of the crime with which
be was charged. The Policeman
arrested the darkey and notified
the authorities at Black Creek,
who Immediately came after him.
Rumor says there is soon to be
another we lding in this section.
Well, we shall see what we shall
see.
Don't forget the picnic here

ARGUS BUREAU, J
Jno, K. Smith, Mgr :

There is a great and growing
need for a good school here and
the following plan has been dis
cussed To solicit stock in the
following manner-$10 to consti-
tute one share; each share the
right to one vote. If enough
stock can be raised to insure a
good school, let stockholders meet
and elect three directors, whose
duty it shall be to hire a com
petent force of teachers; said di-
rectors to be the sole judges, and
they should be vested with the
power to dismiss or dispense with
any one or all teachers who do not
have the ability to successfully
teach and conduct the school. If,
when at the end of the session,
these directors shall find a de
fclency in funds as collected for
tuition, then the stockholders shall
be drawn on to make mp the de-
ficiency; or, if after collecting for
tuition, these directors shall find
that there is more money collected
from such tuition than is neces-
sary to pay the teachers and Incl
dental expenses, such surplus shall
be divided among the stockholders
pro rata. This method would
soon be a good investment, and
would ensure a permanent school,
even if it did not pay as a money
investment. l have heard several
say they would subscribe $50 each,
and others $40 and $50. Let's
put our shoulders to the wheel and
have a school that we will be
proud of.
