have been very industrious the past
few days. They have repaired quite
portion of the somewhat delapdat-
ed sidewalk between the city and the
Academy, very good and proper
thing for them to do, and for which
they deserve the thanks of all who
are interested in that worthy institu-

walk will be finished to connect with
the splendid city walk which extends
out to the Ayers corner, where the
narrow guage now intersects with
mud hole Of vast proportions which
is navigable only portion of the
year. At that corner there is great
need of substantial cross walk, and
If there is not money enough in this
community to build it, our people
should send an appeal for aid over to
the charitably inclined and good peo-
pie of Indian Valley When will
our people wake up the necessity of
these improvements and the import
ance Of the Academy in the com
munity?
The first regular meeting of the
literary club was held at the Acad-
envy last Friday evening There was
large attendance and good pro-
gram of music, reading and extern
poraneous speeches was carried out.
Owing to the sickness of president
Miss Bertha Reyes, vice president

behind.

The Fable of the Sawdust Box.

Once upon time some Parties offered
to sell a farmer tin box for $500.
"But it contains only sawdust!" protest
ed the farmer, who took seven daily
papers. YES" replied the parties, smil-
ing patiently, but with sucker being born
every minute, there's going to be great
demand for sawdust. There's bound to
be bulge in sawdust sooner or later"
The farmer was much struck with this
theory, and bought the box, mortgaging
his farm to raise the money. This fable
teaches that with the common people
becoming so exceedingly intelligent as
they now are, methods of doing business
with them will have to be revolution
