School districts No. 6, Z and 8, in
Kittrell township, were consolidated
these now constituting the present
district in which the election was
held Monday. 1t is the intention to
erect a splendid school house to cost
81 400 or 81 800 and the State has
granted $3.50 toward this object.
The school house will be near Mr.

having donated three acres of land

One of the opposition tells US the
majority in favor of taxation was
only two, and he claims one of these
was a nonresident and the other a
pauper This, however, is denied by
the other side. There appears to be
considerable feeling about the matter
and the election will be contested,
counsel having already been retained
for that purpose.
