School House at Oakway Burned.

On last Thursday afternoon about q
o'clock fire broke out at the high school
building at Oakway and destroyed it. 1t
is supposed that the wind blew open the
door and scattered some fire that had
been left in the house after the school
had been closed for the day. The build
ing was worth between $500 and 5000,
and it was insured in the Oconee Mutual
for $3.50. With the insurance money and
the amount on hand for District No. 5
there will be sufficient funds to orect a
better building than the one destroyed.
AS soon as possible the school house will
be replaced.

NO MORE SMALLPOX.

Smallpox has been reduced to a minium, and
we hope by the end of another week to be able to
extend an invitation to visitors and everybody to
come. We made dligent inquiry this morning
and could not hear of n single case within our
bOTdeT5 yet We dO not feel safe in saying that
the town Is absolutely free from the disease
until we are positive that no new cases will
develop. In January, when we had been assured
that smallpox existed in our midst, we made
statement that there was no danger of catching
the disease here and assured our friends that 1t
was safe to come here and transact their bust
ness. we held to that opinion and no other
statement was made, as 1t was thought unneCes-
sary. 80 far as we have been able to learn, no
one caught the disease by coming here and at
tending to business. If they did we shall be
very sorry to hear of it. Knowing that there
were people In the community that were some
what apprehensive of the danger and felt little
handicapped from the flying rumors, we felt 1t
proper to make the statement for their benefit
and not for the sake of the gold OF silver they
would leave with us. The disease was confined
mostly to the mill operatives, but there were
several cases In all that developed in the town
proper. Precautionary mt isures were taken to
keep 1t from the business portion of town and
the houses OF the victims were indicated by a
yellow flag. None of the cases In this place
resulted fatally. Some were kept from their
work only day or two, while others were sick
Tor the period of n week, ten days, perhaps
longer. After ALL the Town Council acted as
they thought best In the matter of dealing with
the infectious disease President Chesweli did
all In MS power to prevent the spread of 1t
among the mill operatives. The physicians
%er2 faithful in treating the patients and exer-
cised great care. Westminster has withstood
the pestience Of smallpox, and hopes soon to
say welcome to everybody. A. L. Gossett

Wants All His Skull.

After Samuel E. Wilson Of Philadel-
ohia had been sentenced in Dover, Del,
to one year in Jail and to pay 500 fine
for shooting Edward Damp, also of
Philadelphia, Damp made an applica-
ton to the court for the return to him
Of a piece of his skull which had been
used in evidence, says the New York
Globe "Although it is in pieces, l
would like to keep my head as much
together as possible" said Damp. 81
don't like the idea of being in Phila-
aelphia while part of my headpiece re-
mains in Dover" The bit of bone
which he wants is about two inches in
diameter Damp was shot in the head
by Wilson while the two were quarrel
ing about Miss Nina FARRELL of Kent
county The physicians removed q
part of his skull and put a silver plate
II place Of it.

Pedestrian Club Of Teachers.

The corps of pretty schoolteachers of
the old High school building in Ches-
ter, Pa, have formed a pedestrian club,
believing that walking will help them
in their work of instruction, says a
Chester dispatch. They are Misses
Dougherty, Ladomus, Parker, Tyson
and Mills. They took their first tramp
the other day out the Old Kings high
way to Wilmington, distance of four
teen miles. They covered it in good
time, but returned by trolley. 1t is the
purpose Of the club to walk to some
distant point and return each Saturday
during the summer months. They have
provided themselves with stout shoes
and clothing that will be no hindrance
in their walking.

Fancy HatbandS.

There will be more fancy hatbands
worn this, year than ever before, says
the Philadelphia Record. Already near
~ every club has a band of distinctive
stripe, and out at the Pennsylvania
university every fraternity and club
has it's band, which is always worn.
All Of these ribbons are made in Eng
land. The American makers will not
make up small quantity, and there is
no certainty but that the band express
ly designed for this or that fraternity
will not be put on the market. With
the English manufacturers it is differ
ent. They take the order for the num-
Der desired, and no more are made I'M
til the" next order. A Philadelphia
dealer usually handles the supply, and
they can only be obtained by showing
a membership card in the organization
whose hatband is desired.

Sunday morning until the next satur-

81 the social, the musical, the literary,
the ethical life of the community, the
home of light and joy, the pride of
all the people. With numbers comes
enthusiasm, economy, emulation, eff
cheney. When all the teaching forces
and the art of teaching is a great gift,
and there are only few teachers out
of 1000 that know how to impart
wisdom-are united the Sunday school
will again become popular. The great
library Of this church and its social
rooms, equal to those Of the best club
rooms il the great cities, will be the
center Of the artistic LIE Of the town,
where the new painting purchased BY
some merchant prince will be exhibit
ed for all to see; where the club life
for young men, the literary life for
young women and the musical life for
all classes will center. >>s-., ri. tg.
con the Sabbath there will be a
great sermon in the morning that rep
resents the thought and Study and
prayer Of six days and nights Of man
whom God ordained through his an
cestry for moral illumination. There
will be a great Bible school, toward
which all the families will converge.
There will be a great choral service
in the afternoon that will be more at
tractive than all the things Of the
park or the bali field. There will be a
practical address to young people at
night that will lead men out of igno-
rance into wisdom, out Of selfshness
and sin into righteousness and the
manhood of Jesus Christ"
