little short of marvellous. Els.
tablished only three years ago
in what was then considered a
building sufficient for many
years to come, it has already as
sumed such proportions as to
necessitate additions to the
building, More than one hun
bred and twenty FIVE boarding
pupils have been brought TO our
town because OF the school and
more than one hundred of these
come from counties other than
Madison. An addition to the
school building is absolutely
necessary aud so is the building
of a commodious dormitory suf-
ficient to house the hundreds of
pupils who would come to our
school could they be accommo.

to secure these improvements If
we would continue to have the
best Normal School in, Florida,
and our citizens must awake to
the necessity Of action and op
portuuity.

bench.
Both sides answered ready in one of
the cases of the State VS.. Jesse Coats,
Ollie Tennille and Frank Walsh, charged
with stealing n mare and colt belonging
to Joe Hall of Mountain City, and the
work of selecting u jury was begun.
Judge Perky of Idaho examined the
jurors for the defense and Assistant At

the prosecution. The jurors are being
critically examined by both sides as to
their knowledge of the crime charged,
their bias and prejudice and as to the
'"a.iIht +i,~------'i e. 4.
evidence, etc.
1t appeared from the questions asked
that the defense would try to prove that
the Offense charged, if committed at all,
was committed in Idaho. If this is
proven, the defendants cannot be con-
victed in this state.
AT the noOn recess, several Jurors of
the first panel had not been examined.
The work of getting n jury was con
tinued ut the afternoon session and the
indications were, when this report clos
