 The annual school election occurs this afternoon. The Herald states that'the question to be.settled is whether or not Prof. Burney is to be retained in our school.

Prof. Bur ney has built up school here second to none in the state and to turn him down now would be unjust to him and unwise for the district
 Having been granted a franchise for the operation of a telephone system in Green Forest, T. l.. Hummer is now hard at work getting everything in shape for putting the thing in operation as soon as possible. He has traded out his interest in the blacksmith shop of Wise Sc Go. for the building adjoining Puckett's barber shop on the east. This building will be removed at once and a substa ntial house erected which will be used for a central telephone office. MT. Hummer tells us that he will secure ce- dar posts on which to string the wire on all the principal streets of the town and that he proposes to do a first class job on everything connected with the build ing of the exchange. The local office of the long distance phone of the Ozark Telephone Company will be located in the central office, thus enabling sub scribers to talk with persons anywhere on the long distance line through the exchange. No prices have been fixed for rent on phones, but MT. Hummer thinks it will be something like $1.00 per month for residences and $l.50 per month for business houses. He ex- poets to have the system in oper- ation long before the limit prescribed by the ordinance is out.
