The Board estimates its income for the
next year from State appropriations for
books, academic funds, and book fees to
be $25,92+. Subtracting this from the
amount needed, SO, $50, leaves balance
not provided for of $44, 1926. The above
estimate makes no provision for either
new buildings or painting. Particular
stress is laid upon the fact that there are
several schools where both principal and
assistant are obliged to teach in the same
ROOM The disadvantages of such condi-
tions are too patent to call for explana-
ton.
On the subject of consolidation of the
schools the memorial says: with the
necessary funds, it is now possible to do
some building in the line of substituting
one good two-room or threc-ro school
for two or more single room schools,
having great difficulty to maintain an
average of even ten pupils per day; yet
each of these schools has the services OF

SCHOOL BOARD MEMORIAL.

On Monday, President John D. Worth
ington and Secretary Charles T. Wright,
of the School Board, presented to the
County Commissioners memorial show
ing the sum of money necessary to insure
Unsuccessful management for the support
of the schools for the fiscal year Of 1903
and 1904, ending July 31st, 1904. The
memorial states that the records show
that the schools have been heretofore
conducted upon a most careful basis as
to the expenditure of money as COM
parison of the per capita expense for
pupils with schools in other counties
favorably shows.
Owing to the difficulty of procuring
fuel, the unusual amount of rainfall, and
the prevalence of contagious diseases,
conditions in the schools during the pres
ent year have been somewhat peculiar.
These causes have combined to lower the
daily average attendance, but, with the
return of better weather and improved
general conditions, the enrolment will be
much enlarged. There has been in the
past a steady annual increase III the daily
enrolment of pupils with the consequent
growth of the salary account. During
the year, seven houses have been painted
at an expense of $500, and at least five
or six others need immediate attention.
On account of the steady advance in the
price of fuel and the probability of very
little decline during the next year, the
Board anticipates an increased expense
for coal. A number of houses are in need
of good slate blackboards and additional
furniture The colored schools, with the
exception of such as agree to contribute
substantially to their own continuance,
have been closed on account of lack OF
funds. The needs of the present year are
&c finn n ted nc fpilouS.

pastry.
Very light supper after the per-

MANY predicted, after saloons
were abolished, that Bolivar would
"die of dry rot" Some of these
false prophets have lived to learn
better and now admit that instead
of going backward, Bolivar has
prospered. The truth about the
matter is that there is not a vacant
business house in the town, new
residences have been built, contracts
for others let, improvements and
additions made both to residences
and business houses, new enterpris-
es established and our merchants
have enjoyed a more satisfactory
trade than ever. And, this is only
one instance among many. Similar
conditions exist wherever saloons
have been abolished.

judgment, had come. Some one,
in the CONSERVATION of the hour,
moved an adjournment. Then there
arose an old Puritan legislator,
Davenport of Stamford, and said
that if the last day had come, he
desiredto be found at his place doing
his duty, and therefore moved that
candles be brought in so the house
could proceed with it's duty. There
was quietness of heavenly wisdom
and inflexible willingness to obey
present duty. Duty, then, is the
sublimest word in our language. Do
your duty in all things, like the old
Puritan. You can not do more; you
should never wish to do less. Never
let me and your mother wear one
gray hair for any lack of duty on
your part. Your affectionate father

His Last Hone Realized.
From the Sentinel Gebo Mont I


In the first opening of Oklahoma
to settlers in 1889, the editor of
this paper was among the many
seekers after fortune who made the
big race one fine day in April.
During his travelling about and after
wards his camping upon his claim,
he encountered much bad water,
which together with the severe
heat, gave him a very severe diar-
rhoea which it seemed almost i'm
possible to check, and along in June
the case became so bad he expected
to die. One day one of his
neighbors brought him one small
bottle of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as
last hope. A big dose was given
him while he was rolling about on
the ground in great agony, and in a
few minutes the dose was repeated.
The good effect of the medicine was
soon noticed and within an hour the
patient was taking his first sound
sleep for a fortnight. That one
little bottle worked complete cure,
and he cannot help but feel grateful.
The season for bowel trouble being
at hand suggests this item. For

My Dear Son-I am just in the
act of leaving home for New Mex
leo. My fine old regiment has
been ordered 10 that distant region,
and / must hasten on to see that they
are properly cared for. l have but
little to add in reply to your letters
of March %, 81 and %. Your let
tiers breathe true spirit of frank
ness: they have given myself and
your mother great pleasure. You
must study to be frank with the
world; frankness is the child of
honesty and courage. Say just
what you mean to do on every occa-
sion, and take it for granted you
mean to do right. If friend asks
a favor you should grant it if it is
reasonable; if not, tell him plainly
why you can not; you will wrong
him and yourself by equivocation
of any kind. Never do a wrong
thing TO make friend or keep one;
the man who requires you to do so
is dearly purchased at such a sac
rifce. Deal kindly but firmly with
all your classmates; you will find it
the policy which wears best. Above
all, do not appear what you are
not. If you have any fault to find
with anyone, tell him, not others,
of what you complain; there is no
more dangerous experiment than
that of undertaking to be one thing
before a mans face and another be-
hind his back.
We should live, act and say
nothing to the injury of any one.
1t is not only the best as matter
of principle, but it is the path to
peace and honor.
In regard TO duty, let me, in con-
clusion of this hasty letter, inform
you that nearly hundred years ago
there was a day of remarkable gloom
and darkness-still known as the
dark day--a day when the light of
the sun was slowly extinguished as
if by an eclipse. The Legislature
Of Connecticut was in session, and |
as its members saw the unexpected |
and unaceountable darkness coming
On they shared in a general awe and |
terror. 1t was supposed by many
that the last day. the day of
