The patrons,lof,; School District No.
II are arranging to build Sutton
! Spring school house in larger and
better proportions in 4 more .conven-
lent location =. Originally, the building
was located about half q mile. from
Sutton Spring. Time developed that
the location was inconvenient and far
| from the centre of patronage. Some.
thing over a year ago the building
was sold to the colored people for a
| church, for 81 200. Because it seemed
out of he"qucation to build at once
in the face of the prevailing high
prices Of materials and labor, 1t was
deemed best to wait q while. In the
meantime Mr.. " N. S. Black. allowed
the school to use tenant house that
served temporarily. Now lot has
been obtained from W.. N. Neil on the
Howells Ferry road, md on what; will
be the proposed new w est road, and
the proposed new building will be.
erected there. Including the amount
received in the. sale Of the old build
ing, the state aid to be obtained and
other funds on hand there will be.
about $4,000 available for the new
building.
