We are glad to learn OF recent i'm
provements made on the school
grounds at Richland. We are told
that the patrons Of that school have
sodded the grounds and havo also
placed patent desks in the house and
have money on hand for the pur-
chase Of additional volumes to the
library. Hurrah for Richland!
The patrons Of the Poplar school
are to meet tomorrow for the pur-
pose OF sodding the school and
church grounds. We do not know
of any school that has made greater
progress In the way Of Improvement
than Poplar. Just think what a
small, insignificant building the old
building was-scarcely adapted to
the accommodation Of half the num-
ber of pupils in the district, with
only five windows and the lights out
Of them, Compare that with the spa
cious and we'll equipped building of
the present, which would be an or
nament to any community. Really
we believe Poplar should have a
prize; at any rate we shall compete
for a prize. .&,I

We believe the above to be per-
fectly authentic. Should there be an
know that 1t will be speedily correct
| ed, as on two former occasions, by
our Richland correspondent. We are
| not given to prevarication, nor do we
hold to the doctrine Of "doing evil
| that good may come," but If slight
error on our part will call forth some
expression from Richland we do not
feel very sorry, since neither honor
nor shame is attached to the knowl-
edge, or failure to gain information,
Of such facts as these about which
our errors were made.

interest to many now living at O. dist

account, as there seems to be no reg
