BELANAf.

Belknap, April 1s.-At the box sup
per given here last Friday night by
the ladies' aid society of the Methodist
Episcopal church $15.25 was taken in.
1t is announced that the proceeds are
to go towards buying a bell for the
church.
Word was received here Thursday
from Hon. Ellsworth Rominger, of
Bloomfield, that the supreme court had
affirmed the decision of the district
court and that Belknap now was an in
dependent school district with about
six sections of land in its territory.
This was good news indeed to the i'm
not so pleasant to those in the out
skirts of the new district, but we
think with a good school building, a
good set of officers and good teachers,
all will come in time to think it a
good thing. This will cause re-dis-
tricting of the township, there having
been eleven districts, two at least of
these, the Harbour aud the Hall school
houses, will be done away with, thus
leaving eight sub-districts.
