Prospect School.

This is one of the oldest schools of
the county. We know there was a
school at old Prospect as early as
1870 and "as thel crow flies" the
present location is just one mile from
the original site. The school was
moved from the church grounds to
its present location near Boyd's Cross
Roads in 1898. The Prospect and
Rosedale schools were united under
the leadership Of a young and enthu-
siastic teacher, Prof E. Y. Culbert-
son, and the length of term changed
from three to eight months. Prof. Gull
bertson with the cooperation of trus-
tees and patrons succeeded in build
ing up very creditable school. In
fact at one time there were four teach
ers.
With the exception of two years
when MIR. Bates was teacher, Prof.
Culbertson was principal from 1893 to
1911. Mrs. McFadden taught in 1911-12.
The past summer very neat and
we'll arranged school house was built.
In point of construction and equip
ment, it is superior to any of the
Prospect schools preceding it. The

The daily receipts of the postoffice department have reached the enor- nous total of s2,427,O00, which is more than $3OO,OoO. greater than the combined receipts of the government from all other sources. The figures are set forth in the quarterly finan- ciaI statement of Charles A. Kram, auditor of the department.
 Of the total that poured into the department during the last three months s642,OOO is for the payment of postage, special delivery, registra- tion and other branches of the mail ing business, while money orders issued brought in S1,7S4,00O. So nearly balanced are receipts and ex- penditures that now the surplus or deficit for an entire twelve months rarely amounts to as much as the receipts for a single day.
 The report discloses that up to 1862 the average person spent only 9 cents year for postage. In

THE sHAkEsPERIAN PLAYERS
 COMING.

The Ben Greet Shakesperian Con- pany is considered the greatest ex- poHent of Shakespeare today. For the past thirty years MT Ben Greet, the leader of the company, has train ed players for the Shakesperian stage. For the past twenty years he has been famous for his splendid company, which has acted in London, Oxford, Cambridge, Stratford-upon-Avon and other places in Shakespeare Eng land" In America the Company has played almost annually at Harvord, Yale, Princeton, Overlin, Universities of Chicago. Pennsylvania, Virginia, Michigan, Minnesota, California. This company was the first to be invited to the White House grounds.
 Those who have heard this company will, by all means, want to hear it again and those who have not heard it should not miss this splendid op- portunity. Clean, elevating, refined, invigorating, this comprises all that is best upon the stage.
 The play is given in pure fashion with a minimum of stage effect. There is nothing to detract from the play.
 The Ben Greet players will be seen in Clifton, in the Comedy of Errors" which is one of the earliest and best written plays of the greatest of all writers, William Shakespeare. The Empire Theatre, Monday evening, March 17th. Reserved seat tickets at A. c. Drug Store.
