The village of Reese, formerly Carrolton
has been and is being very much beautified
by the erection of buildings and promises to
be quite a business place. 1t Is healthy
locality, desirable SITUATION, noSpltaDle people
and in all a place Of social enjoyment and
welcoming to visitors.
The new schoohouse at Reese has been
completed and is now ready for occupancy.
1t will be opened on Monday 26th, to receive
pupils and will be taught by Mr.. George II.
Caple of Eastview, very popular teacher OF
this county. The building Is of brick and is
very commodious, which adds much to the
appearance of the place over the former one,
which had not sufficient capacity to accom- :
MEDIATE the pupils, but the present one looks
to be spacious enough to meet the require
ments, although the number bids fair to eX-
coed former years, and will probably reach
eighty or more.
