Mr.. Claude Andrews, OF Extra, has
contracted to finish Prof. Enenbach's
term of school, at the Oakfield Acad-
envy, which consists of five weeks.
He will begint this school on Monday.
| Claude is a good teacher and has al
ways given the best satisfaction
wherever he has taught school.
Will Lewis and wife are the proud
parents of a new baby which came to
make their home more happy and
bright in the years to come. Mrs.
Lewis is a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
q. G. Hawk, OF Extra, and they too
wear a broader smile for having been
"crowned'' grandpa and grandma.
Will Ordway went up to Extra
last week to get a load Of lumber and
when at the Green school house the
lumber began slipping and frightened
the horses and they started to run and
did not stop until they reached the
Burton place. No serious damage
resulted, but Will received a few
bruises on his face.
H. S. Wattles, the county surveyor,
was'out northeast of Brayton, Tues
day, and did some surveying for road
work to be done between the VIM.
Bintner's and the Dick Clark's farms.
This is a bad piece of road and has
needed attention for some time. D..
w. Powers and his force of men will
begin grading in a few days.
Mrs. Iona Beers received a telegram
from Des Moines this week that her
mother, who had been confined in a
hospital at that place was dead. She
was unable to go to her on account of
a severe burn she had received some
time ago. This is very sad news, for
we all realize that our mother is the
best friend we have on this earth.
Oakfeld and Brayton will decorate
this year. The children will furnish
part of the program, which they will
render on the 3Oth. The people, who
have friends sleeping in the Oakfeld
cemetery, have been fixing up their
lots for Decoration Day. The Oak
Hill band will furnish the music.
This is a good band and with the as
sistance of the Brayton boys will fur
nish some good music.
Prof. Enenbach, who has been the
principal for the last two or three
years at the Oakfield Academy, has
resigned his position. His resigna-
ton will go into effect tomorrow. We
understand that he has secured a
teacher to take his place. He goes
from here to Denison, Iowa, to take
a position as assistant cashier of a
bank. The many friends of Mr.. Enen-
bach regret to see him leave, as he has
given excellent satisfaction in The
schools, bur the people realize that it
is Tor his best interests that he takes
his departure.
The benefit of the cash system of
road work in Extra township is Wis
ible to all. This last week, County
Grader D.. w. Powers and his men
have cut five feet off of the Hill at
the Dwight Vests farm wonderfully
improving the same. They also cut
the brows off of the hills at the
Shomp B%intner's home and at the
Dick Clark's place and at the Gran,
Browns farm, and this week made a
deep cut on the hill at the South line
of William Thielen,s place. Next
year there will be more money to ex-
pend in this work and more needed
work done on these hills.
The Royal Neighbors' banquet anc
