The new school code is pretty severe
on those teachers who absent themselves
from the annual county institute. 1t says
that every teacher who attends the in
stitute will be paid SO per day and every
teacher who Is absent must forfeit 50 per
day out of their next months salary, as
well as lose the So day to which they are
entitled. BY the phraseology of the
school code, II will cost the teacher of the
county SO daily If they fail to put in an
appearance or give good and sufficient
excuse for absence.

rical managers and those in charge of
college football games TO settle this doubt,
so that definite arrangements could be
made for the usual array OF special per-
formances and sports that mark the day.

West Hickory had small fire Satur-
day morning at an early hour that might
have swept a good portion of the town
had it not been discovered in time to pre-.
vent. In some manner unknown the
blacksmith shop belonging to j. S. Vail,
attached to his livery barn and very close
to other buildings, caught fire and when
discovered the roof was ready to fall in.
Prompt work prevented the fire from
communicating with other buildings but
the shop was total loss. Had there been
the least breeze in any direction many
adjacent properties would have gone up
in smoke.
AT "a conference of interested parties
held in the Citizens National Bank here
last Thursday afternooL an agreement
was reached whereby the Tionests Val
ley and Hickory Railroad will be consol-
idated with the Sheffield Il Tiouesta Rail
way, T. d. Collins purchasing the inter-
est of G. f. Watson. The 7. V. IL II. is
Nebraska to Ross Run, distance of FIVE
miles, and for the past ten years has been
operated under a lease to the S. Il T.
When completed the merger will give the
S. Il II. a clear right of way under one
charter from Tionesta to Sheffield.
