An attempt to take the lives of a large family of negroes and the de- struction of property was perpetrated early yesterday morning by unknown people, when a stick of dynamite was set off within two feet of the front of the residence of Robert Eaton, 508 Thirty-second street, south, Southern railway shop em- ploye.
 As result of the explosion Sf the dynamite tho lattice work or the front porch was torn down. and a deep hole blown in the ground where tho charge had been placed.
 No report of the dynamiting was made to police Headquarters until about 1880 o'clock yesterday morn Brown were dispatched to the scene. No other evidences of dynamite were found around the premises, all though fragments of the fuse. used to touch off the explosive, were found. Only one stick was used. ac- cording to the detectives.
 Eaton returned to his home last night about II o'clock for the first time since returning to work at the shops about a week ago. He was among the strikers who left the shops on July 1, officers state. Dur ing the time he has been at work, Eaton has been housed and fed in side the shop fences. Eaton. his wife and five children were all in side the dwelling when the charge went off It is declared by officers that had the dynamite been few feet further under the house, it would no doubt have wrecked the building and cost the lives ef it's occupants.

oats. rye. corn, wheat and potatoes.
Nearly all the farms have orchards
in which a variety Of apples and other
fruit are raised. Years ago, large
crops Of hops were raised and on
some Of the farms you can see the
ruins of old hop houses.
Today the buildings on the farms
do not look much as they did sixty
years ago. At that time. they were
made of logs and plastered with mud.
Quite often no nails We're used in the
building but wooden pegs served tie
purpose. There were no stoves but
fire-places were used and logs were
smoothed on one side and put down
for a floor.
The first schoolhouse in the district
was about a quarter of a mile south
west of the present site in a forest.
The building was a log structure
about twenty by thirty feet and was
built by John Schown and Henry
Nippert, the people hewing the logs.
The ventilating system was a small
stove similar to those used by hop
owners.
The furniture consisted of benches
of rough hewn logs, split in the CEN
ter and supported by posts and rude
writing desks were fastened to the
wall. The blackboard was made by
mailing boards together and painting
them black. 1t was about six feet
square.
States were the only writing mater
ial to be had. Should anyone break
his highly priced slate. he shared the
pieces with his friends TO be used as
slate pencils.
There was no school-board at that
time but anyone who wished assisted
with the duties to be fulfilled. Rev..
Carl Bakel and Rev Rowlak were Ger
man ministers who, with their famil-
les, lived in part of the schoolhouse.
There were no certain school hours.
school was called and dismissed at
their convenience. The enrolment at
tLat time was about fifty, some the
pupils coming from districts where
no school was held. Records tell
us that the first teacher received
but $40 per month. The first teacher
who taught on a certificate was John
Hine. Some other early teachers
were Mary Patterson, Flora Daniels.
