 w. F. Johnson, residing on Keel's creek 6 miles west of town, had the misfortune to lose his residence, barn and hay stacks by fire last Friday. One of his little children found a match in the yard, struck it set the grass on fire and burned up S2000 worth of property without one cent of insurance. Mr. Johnson was a prosperous young farmer and this is certainly great loss to him.
 After an all day effort Monday trying to open the Berryville puplic school, the opening was deferred. David Bradford of Houston, Ark, arrived Friday, but in the final details no con- tract was signed and MT. Brad ford departed on the Sunday evening train for home. The board held meeting early Mon- day morning and decided to go ahead with the opening with the teachers at hand, but after wrest- ling with the proposition all day both the teachers and board came to the conclusion that the school had better be postponed at least one week. In the mean time the board is doing all they can to secure principal and they confidently believe they will find one somewhere by next Monday and that Berryville will come fully up to the standard with a successful term of school this year.
