There are a number of fellows who
board at Hotel de Bum which fronts
one Stock Yard avenue who refuse to

The clerk will finish taking the
school census this week and make
his report to the county superin-
tendent. There will be a Slight in
crease in the number of pupils over
last year. A consolidation with the
four surrounding districts would in
crease the number by about fifty and
would just about fill our four room
school building, and one fire and one
= additional teacher could take care
of the whole lot, beside the more
advanced pupils could be given the
higher branches and the others more
attention in their intermediate studies.
