Jacksonville and Sunnybrcok, 10th Dis
trict.-The contest which has waged for sew
eral weeks past between the advocates of rural
consolidation of schools in the 10th district
and the opponents thereof was finally ended on
Saturday last when, at meeting held for the
purpose of obtaining the views of the patrons
of the several schools, resolution was adopted
declaring that such consolidation is undesir-
able on account of its impracticability and
cost to the taxpayers. 1t was proposed TO
establish a school at Sweet Air, it being the
most central location, which would take the
place of the schools at Jacksonville, Sunny
brook, Manor Glen and lakewood. Among
those who favored the consolidation were
and Eugene Pocock. Among those who OPP
posed the plan were Messrs. George Treut,
John Momberger, William Wesley and Joseph
Hertzler. 1t was argued that it would be
difficult for pupils to reach acentralized school,

The recent showers were much appreciated
and did great deal of good. The country is
now beginning to look most attractive and
every day adds to its beauty. Many city folks
came out for Maying parties and have been
enjoying the fresh country air and the beauties
of the landscape. Some came out in automo-
biles, but these machines are unpopular be-
cause of the likelihood of horses becoming
frightened by them. II is fact that horses
do not seem to become used to them and they
are calculated to make much trouble for
drivers. But it seems little hard that fell
low can't give his best girl the novelty of
ride in an automobile without being called
down by some fellow driving an unruly horse.
But it is not just the thing to go out for
pleasure drive and expect to be brought home
with broken leg or arm or cracked skull as
result of having encountered an automobile
on the road.
