There are two important things
for school clerks to attend to at
once. The estimates of amounts
necessary to the proper conduct of
the school should be made out
with care and delivered to the
county clerk in due time. The
enumeration of children of school
age should be made with care.
Both are important to the welfare
of the school and to give accurate
statistics. Let no mistakes be
made.

AS a result of the arbitrary &C.
ton of the Pennington Telephone
Company in raising the phone
rates the first of April, nearly all
of the business houses in the lead
belt, from Bonnie Terre to Doe Ruu
have ordered their phones remov-
ed. Others, who have paid in adj
vance, will do likewise when their
times expire unless the matter is
adjusted. Growing out of the con-
troversy, a new telephone company
is to be organized for the purpose
of putting a complete system in
the lead belt.-Lead Belt News.

A delegation of ladies represent
ing the Woman's Christian Home
in st. Louis were here last week
looking after a suitable place for a
summer home in the Valley. A
place is desired where shop girls
and other working girls from the
city can spend a portion of the
summer in the country. We un-
derstand that the ladies were much
pleased with the Grover residence
and thought it would admirably
suit their purposes. A proposition
has been submitted to Mr.. Grover

The Republican State Board of
Equalization-the first with which
Missouri has been blessed (?) in
thirty years-has ordered an in
crease of ten per cent. in the as
sessment of all real estate in Iron
county. We mention this so that
the people will understand the
reason for an increase in taxes this
year. 1t is true that the board or
dered a decrease of ten per cent.
in the assessment of mules and
horses but this decrease in the as
sessment of personal property will
not in any way come near to equal
izing the increased tax o~ccasioned
by raising the assessment of real
property.
l wish to announce to my friends
and patrons that l now have a full
and complete line of spring goods,
including Ladies' Ready Made
Waists and Skirts, Undertaking,
Fancy Dress Goods and Waistings.
