hand toward it. There was music and
refreshments and everybody had a good
time and departed wishing n long life to
the host and tho well.
The new school building has been
completed and turned over to the board
by Contractor Maynard. Will probably
have something to say of the building
later, suffice now that It's a good job we'll
done and upon which Uncle Cnauncey is
to be congratulatcd-and the town like
wise.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. G. Wallace left Tues
day for Mitchell, from which point they
go to Shell Rock, Iowa. Everyone in

The stockholders Of the TORY Lake
Swimming station contemplate turning
the plant into a full creamery; the cream
is now hauled fifteen miles to Academy,
Charles Mix county. 1t costs more to
operate q Swimming station than a
creamery and wherever n Swimming sta
ton is profitable a creamery will be
more so.
Another $3,0G0-or very close to it
was turned loose on this community this
week by the creamery company, and the
price paid for milk testing four per cent
was so cents. Butter is now bringing a
higher price than at any time since the
creamery started, and with the exception
Of a week or two in the dead of winter,

James Byrne and Rev. Father Gaydou-
SEX have been at outs ever since the lat

dominic finally broke Jim's wire fence
near the church but as it happened on a
plated street nothing could be done
with the beligerent priest. Then the
good father commenced suit against
Byrne e Mohr for maintaining a nu1-

Dozens of witnesses were summoned and
it looked like a U. s. supreme court and
piles Of costs case, when mutually their
friends interviewed and the matter was
settled.
special school Election.
By a notice which appears in another
part of this paper it will be seen that a
school election has been called for next
week Friday to elect Il seventh member.
The object OF the election is to settle
existing difficulties between the mem
bers Of the board as now constituted
they being unable to agree on various
matters-the selection of teachers and
salaries to be paid, for one thing-stapd-
ing three to three.
1t appears that four numbers should
have been elected last spring, u at
large, but which was not done for the
very simple reason that a bus load OF
Philadelphia lawyers couldn't keep track
or interpret the school laws OF this state.
We had u member at large last year, but
It was claimed in some qllarters that
some law or other abolished the member
at large. No n seems to know much
about it anyway; whether Il member is
really required or nOt. But al anYTate,
the board cannot see their way ont Of the
present wrangle in any other way.
So far as the salaries are concerned,
il the size OF the schools and the finances
of the town will not permit OF the old
scale of wages, il Is to be presumed that
there would be no serious objection to
reducing them somewhat. But this
paper has all along been in favor OF
rendering tile schools 10 the old teachers
and it has not changed its mind. When
our hoard-or any other %board--can find
a teacher who can satisfy everybody ali
the time, we want to engage that par
ticular teacher-togttlier witha preacher
and an editor who can do the sameth thing
-and exhibit the interesting trio in
the time museums Of this country.
