on the body of an infant that had been
found on what is known as the old

Belleview. Rosie Kinds, a young
woman about "a years of age, admit

was the guest of Mrs. R. A. Knapp of

band, F. B. Nixon, held the position
until his death a few weeks ago and
Gov. Major named the widow to fill
out the unexpiredt term for which her
husband had been elected. Demo-
Gratis and Republicans, alike, asked
her appointment.

valley friends in hoping for him and
his a life of much happiness.
Since April last the Pilot Knot
school board has been in a dead lock
over the selection Of teachers for the
ensuing year. Last week two mem
bers Of the board, Messrs. Johr
Phalan and Chas. Schleuter, resigned.
and at a meeting of the directors
Friday night they could not agree al
to who should be the successors o.
the two who had resigned. Some
solution of the trouble will have to be
agreed on soon or the Knob schoo
will be late in starting this year. II
is unfortunate.
Mayor Rasche, Councilmen Tual
Mckee and Dinger made an auto.
mobile trip to the lead belt Monday
to see if they could gain information
that would be of benefit to them In
deciding how to improve I~ronton'i
streets. They came back home, VIZ
believe, of the opinion that gravel
with something to bind it-clay o.
something Of that nature-is the bes
material with which to lrebuild oul
streets. The, s'chatsu in the LEAD
country make fine streets, but thers
is too much dust.
