he tree of life, which is in the par
disc of Cod and too, for him this
pitaph is fitting: ii
Life's race well run. I

The above resolution was defeat
ed in the school board meeting last
night ]. S, Engle and c. C. Wyandt
voted for it; H. II. Keel j. NJ Fen
gel, r. ]. Long and w. II. Brough-
ton voted against it,
The resolution was introduced by
Wyandt and seconded by Engle and
was in the interest of stopping the
long and expensive litigation on which
the district is entering and allowing
the people to rule on the location
of the high school
A large number of people think
that the entire matter should be
postponed for year at least owing
to the difficulty of getting labor or
materials and the high cost of both
but this was not discussed last night
The four members who have set
tied on the simpson-Tyler lots on
the creek are going ahead to locate
the school there and the architect
is expected here at a meeting Mon
day night to present plans for the
building. He has already been paid
$500 on his account.
The injunction against purchasing
the land is in supreme court, appeal
having already been made and no
action can be taken until the SUI
preme court acts on the matter
No other business was transact
ed last evening except allowing the
usual bills.
