was impossible to give the exact at
tendance at the various schools this

the enrolment of new pupils is larger
| than any previous year He also de-
| clared that many of the new pupils are
children several years of age who have
ne. been to school before and their
a, tendance this session he attributes to
| the agitation in behalf of compulsory
| education that was carried on in the
state this summer. The proceedings

interrupted yesterday afternoon by a
| fracas, in which Ira Mccullough re-
| ceiYed two dangerous cuts, one In the

the jugular vein and the other in the
right part of the chest. Fortunately

wounded negro would probably have
bled to death, as blood was SpoutinS
from the wound in the neck at a lively
rate. Mccullough says that Lee Har-
ris, who fled after the fight is the ne
gro who stabbed him. 49,. Jesse No

in the quarter on the S. A. l.. railroad

was fired. holland was a well known
