Two-Story Brick School Build
ing for Harmony.

The Harmony community is easl-
~ the most progressive rural com
mumity in the county. Not satisfied
wilh having one Of the most mod
ern an best equipped churches to
be found III any country communl-
ty in the state, the good people OF
the Harmony section have taken
definite steps toward erecting q
modern school building that Will
comport with the new church near
by. a few days ago the property
owners of Bacon school district
voted to issue bonds to the amount
of 800 for the erection of a two
story brick school building for the
Harmony school. the only Will"
school in the district. The proposed
building will cost about $4,000
when completed but the school has
about 81 900 that car he used for
that purpose which will supplement
the bond issue.
The people of Harmony always
undertake great things, something
altogether out of the ordinary, and
always carry their undertakings to
satisfactory completion. In erect
ing so splendid a building they will
set a new pace for rural schools, the
new brick baildinG of Harmony be.
ing an object lesson for other
schools ana communities. The Ad-
vertiser con@ratula,es the people nt
