/ We have one of the best schools we
ever had at Hicks Chapel. 1t is unr

latter is daughter of F. NJ. McCul,

paper of their success as instructors.
The replevy suit for the school ben.
ches in the name of the county board
of education as plaintiffs, and so and
so as defendants, was given judgement
in favor of the plaintiffs. This suit
arose over some private individuals at
tempting to hold the public school
benches and fixtures which formerly
we're at Hickory Grove school house
before its being destroyed by fire a
year ago. Since that event the board
of education established an annexation
and consolidated and put the two
schools in one at Hicks Chapel Thus
ended those two contesting school fac
tions. The need of the school benches
on account of the increasing number
of pupils, is why the county board
sought to institute the replevy suit,

parties connected with the litigation
parted with the best of feeling. We
noticed Attorney White standing in
the midst of this suit in behalf of the
county.
The T. c., I. Co. mines shut down
two days this week on account of fail
ing to get orders in due time which

chasers of coal, but she is moving
along now with full scale, but can t

bottom on short notice.
The corn crops up here are very fine
and will be fine yield this year.
the best corn crop for years. After all
the drouth didn't hurt us as badly as
we thought it would.
The class of people hurt the worst
up here is the laboring people. Jobs
are scarce and hard to find, and may
get worse, but l hope we will never
live in a time to witness another
Coxey's army on its march to Wash
ington.
The beer and whiskey dealers of
Wnitwell are about to fall out over the
territory. 1t seems that they had div
ided the town by sections, and some of
the dealers have been infringing and
trespassing on the bounds laid out to
others and they have filed complaint,
charging the other dealers with vio-
lating their contract. .......
