! ing in South Dakota the past summer
and expects to continue the same
work during the coming summer. On
his way to Kiron he visited his brother

The KirOn school consolidation
proposition which has been twice de-
feated however quiet is not dead nor
abandoned. At the first election there
were nearly two to one in opposition,
the opposition coming from the country
the town vote being nearly unanimous
in favor of it. At the last election the
town voters were not given chance
to vote, the vote cast was by the
country people and the project was
defeated by just one vote SO from the
result of the vote cast it would indi-
cate that there has been consider
able change in favor Of consolidation
among the country people. This be-
ing the case it would appear that if
a proper boundary district could be
favorably agreed upon that it would
carry. Had not the personal spleen
spite, jealousy and neighbor feuds
the fact of educational privileges and
welfare of both town and community
it would have carried the first time.
The Free church association expects
to commence work as soon as the

time proven insufficient to comfortably
seat the people who gather there to
worship and especially Sunday even
ing. The new church will be roomy
and will be arranged and equipped in
vitingly and comfortably. Over four
thousand dollars ave been already
pledged towards the new building.
