Nav Have New Graded School.

On Saturday. September 10. an cleo
ton will be held in Little Rock, this
county, to take the sense of voters of
this precinct looking to the establish
ment of a graded school.
The educational district comprises a
territory five miles in diameter with
Little Rock as the center and has within
its confines a total of nearly two hum
dred white children of school age.
Heretofore the community has only
had the advantage of a five months
term Of the public school, and being
located about twelve miles from eth
er Paris, Mt. Sterling or Carlisle, par
ents have been unable to give their
children high school education with
out sending them away from home.
The taxable property of this school
district amounts in the aggregate to
the sum of half a million dollars. A
total levy of 80 cents on each one hun
dred dollars worth of property may
be made for the purpose of establish
ing and equipping the school. Ten
cents Of the levy will be applied to the
erection of school building which it
is estimated will cost $4,000. The re-
mainder will be used for school ex-
denses. 1t is proposed to have school
of four grades giving to students the
advantages of preparatory and high
school training.

Firm Suspends
W. H. Merritt & Co., One of the
Largest Cash Houses in
City Fails.

CHICAGO. April 6.-suspension OF the
cash grain house Of w. H.. Merritt q Co.
was announced on the Board OF Trade
today. Customers were notified to close
out their trades.
w. II. Merritt & Co has for many years
been one Of the most important firms in
the cash grain trade and the failure caused
great surprise.
The reasons for the suspension are closely
allied to those which on Monday forced
another cash grain house-the Burns-Yantis
Grain company-to suspend, namely. the
decline in corn prices recently. Eastern
customers Of the Merritt company. having
bought at the high price for later delivery,
are said to have .epudiated their contracts
with the market decline.
This forced the brokers to seek other
outlets for their grain, and while holding
it much of it went hot, or in other words,
rotted.
a member of the urm declared creditorN
would be paid in full.
