The school board in this district has
directed the clerk TO take up another
note of $3.50 due against the district.
This makes $3.50 that the board has
paid this year and leaves only S400 of

and this will be paid during the current
year, which will leave this district with
q fine three-room building and no debt.
This Is the best advertisement section
can have, and our board deserves great
credit for the able manner In which
they have handled the affair sof this
district.
