We have always said that the
people of Carter county are second
to none in pluck and energy, the
proof of which is such that cannot
be denied. The people of Lone Grove
school district have built a school
building which cost them about SS,-
/ 900 furnished completed. Bonds for
this purpose were voted and sold dur,
| ing the first administration, thus max
ing the sinking fund and interest for
each year AMOUNT TO $3.50 We are
also informed that the dlstrict has
/ 81 1,56S.63 outstanding warrants. The
school tax levy in this district is
| lO1a mills, but the property yalua-
ton is such that after the above
amounts have been paid, and they
must be paid first, that the district
has absolutely nothing left in the
treasury to maintain school thi )
/ year.
There are many children in that
district and they are unquestionably
entitled to educational advantages,
but Notwithstanding the fact that the
people are paying a 101a mill levy
for school purposes. they have no
school, Whether or not there has

yond the bounds of his official duty,
nevertheless, he is so deeply interest
ed in the welfare of the children o.
the county that he does not stop at
the mere performance OF whlt the
law requires of him, but spares no
time nor labor in doing whatever
is to their interest
