Compton is doing well under tn
care of Miss Stella Ritchey. The,

er's desk and chair that would be
credit to any school room and hav,
ordered about fifty volumes for thu

during vacation. Miss Ritchey il
proving herself a very capable teacher
and is satisfying her patrons.
\ Oak Grove is doing we'll with Miss
Lillian Livingston as teacher. Miss
Livingston took up the work here
seven weeks ago, Miss Nellie Harvey
having resigned on account of failing
health and other reasons good and
sufficient, Both of the above schools
will have some graduates.
Willow Tree has light attendance
but the enrolment is light as well.
This school will not have any gradu-
ates since they have no eight year
pupils. Miss Alma Diver is teacher
and would like more pupils.
Cherry Grove is moving we'll under
j. C. Maxey as teacher. This school
has real flag pole and frequently
have their flag waving but some one
appropriated the rope, used in hoist
