New School Move At
Srnithville Gaining

SMITHVILLE, Jan. Smith
vile high school opens again "for
business" on Monday, Jan. 5, for the
second term Of the school year.
The recent move put on foot to
get new school building here has
gained in support, and it is expected
it will be brought to head in a few
days, and work actually started on
the building. In spite of the boil
weevil this year, most farmera of this
section have had a good season, and
in consequence the leaders Of the
boom expect no opposition. So far
none has developed, and if the pres
ent plans come to head, and are
carried out, Smithville will have a
school second to none in the state.
They already have an able corps of
teachers, and with up-to-date, first
class equipment as will be installed
with a new building, the school will
be one to be proud of. Prof. J. n.
Forbis, who has had much expert
ence in this line, is heading the move
ment.
