Farmers Want Electricity.

Farmers living between Brushy and
the Des Moines river are projecting the
formation of a company to buy cleo
tricity from the Fort Dodge .Dcs
Ai6ines & Southern interurban com
pany. Their plan is to build high
tension line and buy electricity for
power and lighting purposes on their
farms. A meeting has been called for
2 o'clock in the afternoon, April IL, ut
Flugstad when Chief Engineer d. J..
Lewis Of Boone will address the far
mers. &
Turned Welch, who lives south OF
Flugstad, started the movement some
time ago to interest farmers I'm using
electricity on their farms. There are
some forty farms between Flugstad and
the Des Moines river. 1t is planned
that the forty farmers living along the
line shall form a. company to build
high tension line and buy electricity
from the interurban company. Their
line will be twelve miles in length.
They then plan to build banclles, fun
nishing light and power to as many
nearby farmers as tlW patronage will
warrant, branching off at each cross
road.
Mr.. Welch has had this matter mp
with General Manager ]. S. Crooks OF
Boone for some time and negotiations
are now proceeding nicely with the

Oliver Terrell, formerly a Inember of
the famous Rainbow division and later
attached to the 10th with Alabama
troops, who arrived home Thursday,
has had probably as unique an expert
ence as any Hamilton county soldier.
He carries five wounds and was in
valided home.
Mr.. Terrell was wounded HE first
time while serving with the Rainbow
division on the Champagne sector and
was sent to a hospital Mt Challons. He
was able to-be UP and around, the
wound being in his left arm. He tired
of hospital life and asked to be sent
back to his company. But the officials
insisted on his staying and one night
he was A. w. o. L. (soldier's lingo for
absent without leaye.") He did not
return to his own regiment, not know
ing where they We're, but he ran into
the Alabamians and stayed with them.
THE authorities, not knowing where
he was, reported him missing. Later
he notified them where he was and,
admiring his spunk, they permitted him
to stay. He went over the top with
the Alabama boys in the Argonne in
July and was there wounded again,
this time seriously. Since then he has
been confined to hospital. His wounds
are in one arm, q leg and his abdomen.
He wears three gold stripes on his arm,
signifying a year and 4 half overseas
service. 4

History Of Harrisburg School.

At the recent dedication of the fine
new addition to tile Harrisburg CON
solidated school. Miss Catherine Glea-
son read a very interesfingshistory OF
the school from its beginning there in
1870. A part of her paper follows:
Our school like all other things that
are permanent and of value has passed
through various stages OF evolution.
Its growth has been slow but steady
and has resulted in an educational sys-
TEN that we feel meets the approval
of the friends of education.
The first school house in Harrisburg
was built in 1870, on the lot south of
the Lynd residence. The building re-
sembled the LITTLE white country school
house of today. At this time there
were only two school houses in Blnirs-
|burg township, the other being the
Stenerson school, north of town.
In 1876 harrisburg township was
separated from Williams township of
which previous to this time it had heen
a part.
The first teacher was Jennie Hough-
failing. Jas. McNee also taught this
school from 1877 to about 1882. The
school was not graded. the work was
carried on just the same as in the other
district schools in Hamilton county.
The first year Mr.. McNee taught
there were iifty-tive attending. Among
them are some of our well known clti-
zens of Harrisburg and vicinity; Mrs.
Elsie Fowler, Chas. Cashier, Peter
Smith and Mrs. Jas. O'Neill. Some OF
their work other than that assigned by
the teacher. is interesting indeed!
Mrs. Elizabeth Talcott, member OF
our present high school faculty, began
her school life. here, and afterSfinishing
school taught in this same building
for two years.
The harrisburg school was part OF
the district township of Harrisburg I'M
i'll about the year 1894, when it became
nm independent district. Before tins
time the school house was moved onto
tbe lot where the present building rs
located. 1t stood in this place for nye
or six years and was then moved ana
made part of thc Ross Snyder resi-
;lence.
The second school house was Dlllit
;,bout the year 1898. 1t was square
two-story wooden building, containing
IT first two rooms, but later, was ar
ranged to accommodate three divisions
of Il graded school.
The building, was destroyed by fire
IN January, 1910. School was held for
the rest of the year in the church. In
the following summer four room
brick school house was constructed,
and that building is>now part OF our
present school building.
During the time that school was
being held in the second wooden build
ing the school was graded. The firs'
graduating exercises were held in EO2.
Among the members OF this class were ::
Delyert Stafford. Mrs. May Stafford,
Mrs. Maude Hunt, Mrs. Edith Havi-
land and Miss Imilda Davenport.
