There died on the farm of Jesse H ughes,
two miles west of town, one day last
week, Manda, aged 80 years and eight
months. It's short item, but it means
much to Mr.. Hughes and family.
Manda will be recognized by many of
our residents as the grey mare driven
for SO many years, by Mr.. Hughes. She
was foaled on his place and has always
been owned by him. For 25 years he
used her as saddle horse and for driv-
ing purposes, and in fact where one was
the other was sure to be. She was faith
full and trusty. AS. he expressed it to
us the other day: ~ have left her 500
times but she has left me but three
times in her life. The last five or six
years OF her life she had spent on the
farm free to 90 and come as she chose,
with good pasture and warm stable and
every care possible, and when the end
came she was buried at the side of two
former comrades who had faithfully
served Mr.. Hughes 81 and 80 years
respectively. Mr.. Hughes and family
feel the loss keenly .-Corydon Democrat.

on trial before County Superintendent

the directors Of District No. s, Burrell
township, known as Round Top school.
decided it would be cheaper and better
to send the pupils of the district to the
Davis City schools and pay for their
tuition than to maintain the Round Top
school. From this decision Ed. Flora,
one Of the patrons Of the district, has
appealed to the county superintendent.
The case is being holly contested, quite
number of witnesses, being heard.
Lewis B. Jackson appeared as attorney
for MIR. Flora and V. R. McGinnis for
the school district. No decision had
been reached by the county superin-

three gold rings and watch chain stolen.
Two of the rings have been recovered,

an application will be made to send him
