intentions are to reach Birmingham from Bemis by way of Sheffield. For some time surveyors have been in the field for that line between Bemis and Birmingham. It is asserted that efforts will be made to buy outright or buy portion of the Bir- mingham Belt railroad. now the property of the Frisco system. in order that ter minals may be had at this end. Options have been purchased on a large tract or land near Thomas, five miles from here, which will be used as yards. It is inti- mated that the Illinois Central Railroad Is behind the Brunswick and Birming- ham new management and when the lat ter line comes to Birmingham, the Hi nois Central will have built in from Be- mis and then a route from the West to the Atlantic is procured. While the Hi nois Central is busy building its line from Bemis, Tenn, to Birmingham, wnlcn work begun today. the Brunswick and Birmingham is to push their work of ex- tending to this city also. But the Illinois Central will not wait for the completion of these roads before entering Birming- ham, As was announced some time since, the Illinois Central is to make traffic ar arrangements with the Frisco and use the latter's tracks from Aberdeen MS, to Birmingham. The Illinois Central and the Frisco system will work together in great harmony and will work their lines in the West with litle friction.

There have been several instances
recently OF parents sending children to
the public schools when there we're
cases OF contagious diseases at their
homes and the houses were quaran-
tined by the health officer. So far as
is known these breaches of Law and
public right have not resulted ssri-
ously, but the matter IS one that
should not be treated lightly. Even
il the disease is only chicken pox or
measles a child from that family
should not be sent to the public or
parochial school, aud the risk thereby
run Of exposing /, 200 to l, 400 children
and bringing an epidemic upon the
village that will not only break up or
seriously inidre the schools but will
also cost the parents thousands of dol
lars 10 doctors bills, work and other
expense. Our public schools are and
should be the dearest of our public
possessions and a parent who Wilfully
imperils them should be Sc 'er lY DEALT
