DR.. L. A. Simpson.
Dr. l.. A. Simpson was awarded the
contract for the new roof on the
school house at a recent meeting of
the board. The date of opening the
term has not been decided definitely,
and will likely be governed by the
progress of farm work, which has
been deferred by the frequent and
copious rains.
The shortage of fruit and accompa-
nying vacancy on the bill of fare,
followed by the abundance of huckIe-
berries, blackberries, apples, peaches,
beans, ETC., have acted as a stimulus
to most everyone The huckleberry
crop, for instance, is much better
than was thought possible. One party
of pickers last week is reported to
have picked sixty odd gallons.
