closed, 1898 1899, you operated
121 schools-1G for whites and IS
for negroes. You employed o.
white and 81 colored teachers.
The Eaton Creek and Capulet
schools closed at the end of the
fourth month by request of the
patrons on account of sickness.
The Dinner Pond and Kendrlck
schools closed at the end of the
fourth month, on account of low
average. The Chlpco school
closed at the end of the second
month by resignation of the
teacher. Two other teachers
were sent to finish the term, but
each stayed one day, resigned
and went home.
Thirteen schools took advan-
tage of the extra month granted
by the board at a cost of 1896.
The following schools ran the
full five months but failed to
make the required average of s
for the term: South Lake Weir,
Z; Weirsdale, Z; West Linadale,
Z; Potts Island, :; Water Oak. 5;
East Linadale, 6.
The averages of many schools
were greatly reduced On account
of measles, whooping cough and
small pox scare. On account of
the ordinance requiring all pupils
to be vaccinated in Ocala, l think
the average for about six weeks
was reduced at least cne-third
the regular amount. In making
your appropriations for the differ
ent schools I think these condi-
tions should be carefully consid-
cred.
From conversations and dis
cussions with you, | think each
of you are in favor of uniting as
many schools as is practicable,
and establishing as few new ones
as psssible. These plans l heart
lily approve. You are now oper-
atlng more schools than any
county In The state.
FINANCES
am glad to report the finan-
cial condition of, the county in
much better shape than at any
time in years.
Two years ago, the 3Oth of
June, we had a deficit of $l4,-
1862. One year ago the .deficit
had beeen reduced to $943O.93, a
gain of $5619.61. The 3O5h of
this month, 1899, we will have a
deficit of only $3l54.92; a gain for
the year just closing of $52;6.Ol.
These gains have been made from
reducing the term Of school from
six to five n,onths for the past
two years, with the close econo-
my practiced by the board IN
building and repairs. l think no
one will now deny the wisdom of
the board In reducing the term
and other appropriations.
With your small deficit now
existing | am greatly IN hope
that you will be able to see your
way clear to contract with teach
ers for six months.
Our teachers and patrons have
all been patient and shown a
sympathy in assisting the board
in Kidding the county from such
a debt, and l think we should be
as liberal, both in length Of term
and salaries of eachers, as our
financial condition will allow. At
the same time | think we should
make our estimates very care
fully, and for no reason allow the
school fund to again become so
deeply N debt.
One year ago we estimated our
total receipts for the county to
be $37, 423 and we actually re-
ceived $36,549.65. At the same
time we estimated our expendl-
lures to be $2S,O5O and we &C

s. j. McCully appealed for $50
more to assist in building assist
ants room and covering old
school house at Fellowship. Ten
dollars were granted and the
board instructed Mr.. McCully
that unless the patrons showed
enough interest to help build the
house that it would withdraw it's
appropriations.
BlItchton school was granted
SIS for repairs.
H. u. Forbes and G. w. Davis,
with a petition representing fif-
teen people, asked for a new
school four miles east of Antho-
ny, near Indian Spring nelghbor-
hood. The petition was granted
if patrons furnish the school
room.
Bay Lake school received $50
to cell house.
Long Lake got $50 to cell both
rooms, replace all broken win
dows and to make other repairs.
Belleview petition asking for a
sub school district was laid over
until July meeting.
The Mcintosh petition, present
ed by DR.. Burger, asking the

mended by the old trustees, espe-
cially P. w. Green as principal,
was laid over for July meeting.
On recommendation of Super
intendent earn the following
schools were consolidated: Griner
Farm and Spring Park, William
son and Lake Kerr, Weir Park
and Lake Weir, Weirsdale and
South Lake Weir.
The amount to be allowed each
school per month for term of
1899-19OO was fixed.
After comparing salaries with
the enrolment and average at
tendance the salaries for the new
term was determined. This
closed the first days labor.
The second day was devoted to
estimating the receipts and ex-
penses for the entire county,
from July 1898 to July 1900.
Supposed receipts
Taxes due for 1898, county levy,
$4,000; poll tax due for 1898, $1,000;
county levy for 1899. $4,000; poll
tax for 1899, $4,000; one mill state
tax, $495O; interest on state
funds, $500; redemption Of lands,

there is cash in treasury, $3l54 90.
Total, $34, 5S4 90.
The question of a six months
term was then discussed. 1t be-
ing impossible to run a six
months term with the funds
prospectlvely in sight, the term
was made five and a half months,
provided that the patrons would
give two weeks extra, making a
six months term; but any school
not agreeing to pay for the extra
two weeks will only have five
months term. The contracts
are to be written for five months
unless patrons or teachers assure
the board that they will run the
school the extra two weeks.

has come across and studied probably
none can compare with kind of rat
found in the Rocky mountains. Though
for long time we'll known to trappers
and lumbermen. it is only lately that
any naturalist has studied these peculiar

Although called rat this little ami
NAL is larger than an ordinary rat, with
body eight inches long. 1t is very
pretty creature, with soft gray fur and
a squirrellke tail, easily tanned and a
delightful pet. The trappers long age
gave it the name Of the Grading rat,
from its curious habit of never stealing
anything without putting something in
its place.

The officers of the village corporation
were highly complimented by the almost
unanimous reelection Monday evening
George A. Weston, who has served the
corporation a, moderator SO acceptably for
several years, stated that he did not wish
any one to think they ought to vote for him
because he happened to have the floor. yet
not voice was heard against his continuing
in office. The bailiffs were reelected in a
body the fact that by economy and care
full Management they had reduced the cor
poration debt over $4,000 added tremen-
dousy to the popularity Of the board. The
taxpayers feel that the right men are at the
helm. The ba'my days when G. S. Moore
was street commissioner still linger in the
rem embrance of some and he is nominated
for his old Office regularly every corpora
ton meeting. Although a ballot was
taken, Jerry Keefe has reason to feel
happy over the splendid majority given
him. As matter Of fact the pr esenting Of
MIR. Wilmoth's name was probably more Of
surprise to him than to any one else. A,
any rate he had made no extended canva.
aud it was reported that he was not in the
hall during the evening. The fire wardens,
water commissioners, treasurer, tax collec-
tor, clerk, all have reason to be satisfied
with the s'amp of approval which the voters
placed on their official acts Of the past
year.
