Site for the School House.

At their last meeting last Friday
night the school board accepted the
proposition of c. j. Platt for the block
south of the Leonard property in the
old Cultivate tract The price of the
tract is $1,000, and Mr.. Plat agrees to
allow the board $500 for the old build
ing site. However, the board has six
months in which to dispose of the prop
erty at a higher price if they can find Il
buyer for it. They should be able to
use a large part of the material in the
old building in erecting the new one,
unless they can find a buyer for both
the building and grounds. In view of
the difficulty in obtaining "a clear title
to the property south of Curt Evans
place, this is probably the best that
could be done.

Opinions of the Wise.

Socrates thought that II all our mis-
heap, whence everyone would take an
equal portion, most persons would be
contented to take their own and de-
part
When Demaratus was asked whether
he held his tongue because he was a
fool or for want Of words, he replied,
"A fool cannot hold his tongue"
Pittacus said: Everyone of you
hath his particular plague. and my
wife is mine: and-he is very happy
who hath this only"
Marcus Aurelius asserted: How
much time he gains who does not
look to see what his neighbor says or
does or thinks, but only at what he
does himself to make 1t just and holy"
Aristippus, being asked what were
the most necessary things for well
born boys to learn, said: ''Those things
which they will put in practice when
they become men,"
Simonides said that he never re-
pented that he had held his. tongue,
but often that he had spoken.
Aristotle was once asked what those
who told lies gained by 1t. Said he:
THAT when they speak the truth they
are not believed"
Marcus Aurelius said: Let not thy
mind run on what thou lackest so
much as on what thou hast already"
Sophocles said: Think not that thy
word, and thine alone, must be right"

ing details of a devastating fire in the
town of Mulbeyville, with the number
and the names Of the victims. We
now desire to correct a few inaccu-

way into the first reports of such ca
tastrophes.
There were no casualties; for the
fire was practically checked before IL
could do much damage.
I'VE should add that, as a matter
of fact, the confiagration did not oc'
