The work on the interior of the new
school building is going on very sat
isfactorily and will soon be ready for
the grand opening and the display
of some of the most intelligent chill
dren in the city, white-headed ones
and all. There are about $50 educa-
BILE children on that side of the city,
but few of whom can attend the
school now going on owing TO the fact
that the building in which the school
is being Taught is too small. Some
of them have to attend the Main
street school in consequence.

In your edition of the -27th I find

1.-THE fact that Col. E. II. Garrett
of Carthage, who was in the city yes

country at, it is supposed, his own ex-
pense, advocating the adoption Of The
amendments rather leaves the suspi-
cion that there is something wrong.
Why not leave it to the voters after
discussing the matter through the
press of the state? The man who
travels over the state III the interest

hope. of reward is too patriotic for
these times

left to the voters, as the Progress sug-

the ratification OF these amendments

The first class at the United States
naval academy at Annapolis. Md. of
which Cadet Emery S. Land of this
city is a member, will be graduated in
May instead of June of this year., as
the services of the young officers are

of war vessels in the navy and the re-
tirement Of so many of the older Off
GERS, have made many vacancies which
these graduates will be called upon to
fill.

The board of trustees of school dis
trict No. l met at the office of Director
Gramm this afternoon, the following
members being present: Director
Gramm. Secretary Carter, Messrs.
Jones and Johnson and Principal Lee.
All the bids for the removal of the
Hutton's Grove school were rejected,
for the reason that they were higher

cause the new location selected for
the school was not satisfactory to a
number of the patrons of the school,
and the building will remain where
it is.
1t was decided to continue the night

the attendance justifies it. through
April also. The attendance keeps up
only moderately well.
The spring vacation will embrace
the last full week in this month.

saw Birnie crouching down by the
fence surrounding the Hertzog tract
