a Flower as Rent.

A dispatch from Flint. Mich, reports
that the local school board has secured
a ninety-nine year lease of site for
a new school building at the rate Of
one clover blossom year. The man
who offered to rent the land on these
terms is something of poet, and the
board in accepting the offer has en-
tered into his spirit and determined, 1t
is said. to make every year ceremo-
nious payment Of the rent. 1t is pity
that when sites are given. as they so
often are. the generous donors do not
exact some such rental as this. that
will require Il touch at least of beau
ty in the school yard. The requirement
Of a bunch Of roses or Of some other
chosen flower which must be grown on
the premises under the children's care
would inject new, a much needed
and delightful element into school life.

tate.

of w. s. Lowell as trustee for Knight
Yancey & Co. against Henry Hentz &
Co. of New York, which will be convened

number of bales of cotton alleged tc
have been delivered to the New York

trustee, has taken long file of depo-
sitions in this case, which will be pre-
scented to the court at the trial.
