ceiyed two letters from the young man
written since be was wounded on June
IL. He states that be is alright, is be-
ing cared for by the Red Cross Hospi-
tai where he is given as tender and
patient care as could be done by bis
own family, and hopes soon to be able
to return to the front. Recently he
wrote his father that he had his gun
stock nearly covered with notches. the
idea being that every time he shot a
German he cut a notch. He was known
here as one of the most accurate shots
in the community and those who knew
him counted on his making an efficient
soldier.

School Building Contract Let.

At a meeting on July II, Of the build
ing committee appointed by the Coun-
ty Court to let contract for the school
buildings at SomerVile, Williston and
Macon, the bids for the work on the
'Somerville building were let and the
contracts let to the lowest bidders in
each caae as follows; The general con-
tract was let to F. H. Lightfoot and ].
j, Burnett Jr., who submitted their bid
together, the bid for the heating plant
went to j. w. Hull Heating Company
of Memphis and the wiring bid to Un-
derwood Electical Co., Of Memphis. The
total for the three contracts is SIS, 1856
which is not far from the architects es-
innate, being between his minimum and
maximum estimates. The Lightfoot &
Burnett bid was s1400 under their
next highest competitor, Underwood
was forty per cent under his next and
Hull was twenty per cent under his
next competitor.
The contracts call for the completion
of the work by September 28. and pro.
vide for forfeit of $50 per day by the
contractors for every day after that
time, if completion is delayed. 1t is
hoped that the building will be COM
pleted so that the High School can open
at it's regular opening date on Septem-
Der l6 and the contractors believe that
they can deliver it by that time. Work
began last Monday.
The specifications call for complete
remodeling of the front, or main build
ing and the removal of the east wing,
or annex, and the erection in its place
of a one story annex with three well
fitted school rooms and basement for
the steam heating system that will be
installed. The floors will be new thru
out, new plastering, new and larger
windows. new blackboar1s, and in fact
all the essential parts of the interior
will be new and modern and suited to
the comfort and health Of the children
who attend the school.
The bids for the Wllliston heating
plant were double what was asked in
the appropriation and was not let. pend
ing further investigations of prices and
etc. And Mr.. Donnell, representing
Macon on the committee, did not get
his notice of the meeting in time to at
tend. These matters are to be looked
after at once and steps taken to meet
the needs of the two communities.
The committee having the building in
charge has at its disposal $21, 900, the
County Court having appropriated
SIG, 900 and the County Board of Educa-
tion $4,000. This will hardly cover the
cost of the three buildings withthe high
er costs of things in the building line
than have formerly prevailed, and it
will be necessary to ask an additional
sum of from the school board to cover
the balance, after it has been ascer.
tanned just how much additional will
be needed.
