Needs School Building.
Prof. w. H. Hand, state high school
inspector, was in Yorkville a few
hours yesterday, having returned from
visit to Hickory Grove and Sharon.
He expressed himself as very much
pleased with the good school work that
Is being done in both places, and was
particularly gratiaed to note the prog
ress of work on Sharon's new school
building He was surprised to find
thirty-four pupils in attendance In the
high school department of the Hick-
ory Grove school, and said that Prof
Holiday and his assistants are doing
excellent work. But Hickory Groves
school building Is pretty shabby af-
fair" he said. TT was all right when
it was built" he went on; but 1t Is

Nearly All Gone.
Some weeks ago Senator Tillman
sent to this office a sack full Of pamph-
lets carrying the agricultural depart
ment's report on the York county soil
survey. The senator's idea was to
have them distributed. There were
only a very few more than 500, not
enough to go one-quarter around our
subscription list, and as the reports
are very valuable to people who know
how to appreciate them we decided
that the best way to distribute
them was to insert an advertisement
and give out copies to the first appli-
cants as long as they lasted. There
has been a steady demand since the
first appearance of the advertisement,
some of the applications being made
in person and others by mall The
supply with which We were provided,
however, has been exhausted down to
about twenty five copies, and If appli-
cations made subsequent to this pub
lication are not supplied, the appli-
cants will understand the reason. The
advertisement on the subject will not
appear again.
