CITIZENS MEETING
ON South Side

A citizens meeting was held in
Gearhart township Saturday night for
the purpose OF taxing action looking
80 the establishment OF high school
on the south side The meeting was
held in tho public school building,
South Danville, and was we'll attend
ed.
There is division among the resi-.
dents of Gearhart township on the
subject OF high school, which was
an issue at the spring election. A IS re-
veaied by the vote a large majority
were in favor Of high school. The
directors elected since entering upon
their Office, however, have become
alive TO certain conditions, which in
their opinion initiate against the sue
cess of township high school. AS a re-
suit they have not shown that prompt
ness and alacrity in entering upon the
preliminaries that was looked for BY
! the taxpayers who voted for a high
school.
! Realizing that no time Is to be lost,
| if high school is TO be provided for
by the opening of the next term, the
citizens in favor of the measure are
aiming 80 get the directors into lire
in order of the wishes OF the majority
may be carried out.
The meeting, Saturday night, was
preceded by one held on Tuesday night
of last week, at which time the coun-
tv superintendent of the schools was
present with the board of directors
and the law bearing on the subject
was fully considered 1t was made
clear that no legal obstacles intervene
and that the district having the re-
quired number OF children eligible for
high school can proceed to establish
one. There are those, however, who
see complications ahead growing out of
the fact that the south side pupils up
to the present at school in Danville
would not attend the high school on
the south side, but would elect to com
plete the course at the Dsuville high
school with its higher and more COM
preheusive course Of study

FLAG POLE NOT RAISED.

The steel flag pole was delivered at
the park a week ago and it lies on tie
spot where unIoaded, at the eastern
end OF the tract. Up to the present no
move has been taken looking to the
actual planting Of the pole, which is a
matter OF surprise to many people.
The great flag would look very pretty
floating on the summer breeze, when
the occasion calls for it. The change
of season will be here almost before
we dream Of 1t, when naturally tie
park will lose its charm and cease 70

flag can not be raised too soon.
The planting of the flag pole seems
to rest in the hands OF the council

reason for not beginning work up TO
the present.

who are making improvements on
their farms, buying machinery, fur
niture, lumber, building fences, i'm

orally, it is the set who are members
of the American Society of Equity.
1t is the general testimony of bust

there has been more liberal buying
by the farmers than at any time dur

A LOST MINE.
The Tragic Legend That Is Associated
With Bald Mountain.

The Tragic Legend That Is Associated
With Bald Mountain.
The legend of a lost mine has given
to Bald mountain, in Placer county,
Colo, a fascinating interest for pros
pectors. Tradition is that early in the
fifties of the last century three men
disappeared from an immigrant party
going over the old Gap trail. Search
for them was without avail. and they
were finally reported dead by the
searchers.
Where or how they wintered no one
knows. but the following spring, rag
ged, shoeless and demoralized. they
filed into Michigan Bluff. Their blan-
kets were converted into sacks, and
with them they brought gold dust to
the amount of $4,000 or $4,000.
Spending but single night within
the confines of civilization and giving
no information as to the location of
their large claim. they were followed
on their return trip. and few weeks
later their murdered bodies were found
in one of the dreary canyons that scar
the face of The desolate peak
Since then many man has sought
this lost mine. but apparently its inn
munity is rs certain rs that of the
treasure of Captain Kidd.-Philadel-

Balance In Furniture.

To lay down set of rules for ar
ranging the furniture in any room is
obviously impossible, as fitments differ
so radically. But there are certain
things that can be done successfully
with furniture and others that spoil
lthe appearance of the most expensive
~ fitted up apartment. First and fore
most of these is to balance" a room,
meaning by that not to get all the
heavy pieces or all the large pictures
on one side. If, for example, there is
a large sofa against one wall, across
from it there should be a table or
something like that to preserve the
CAPABILITIES. 1t need not be exactly
across. but somewhere on the other
side, to avoid looking as though, were
the floor swung one side, 1t would go
down and the other come up. In re-
arranging room the rugs, If any are
used should be taken up and the
floors left so that the chairs, ETC., can
be easily moved to experiment for the
best placing.

Tobacco growers throughout Kentucky,
Ohio and Indiana, according to the To-
cal newspapers published in the various
localities, are again bewailing the fact
that the provision removing the six-oent
tax from Tobacco was striker from the
Payne bill. 1t is not easy to see on
what grounds the Tobacco growers base
any hope to get these so-called free
Lear measures through Congress, or
what they would gain if such a law were
enacted. The free Leaf proposition has

In France alone several thousand
acres of land are exclusively devoted
