cLARKsvlLLE NOTES.

The recent catastrophe at Cleve-
land, Ohio, in which hundred of lives
were lost by fire, has given the Board
of Education an incentive to remedy
the many defects found in the public
school buildings of this place; but it
seems that church officials of the sew
eral houses of worship are slow to take
advantage of the above lesson. Most
of the churches of GAINESVILLE are so
constructed that a repetition Of the
frightful affair is likely to occur at
any time, unless better arrangements
in additional exits for quick dismissal
of congregations are made.
All arrangements had just been COM
pleted making another addition to
ever-increasing leap year marriages.

real worth. as the prices offered at last
Mondays sale averaged about six cents
a piece. All in all the affair was quite
enjoyable.
