All the school rooms were reopened
Monday morning, after closing for one
week, while the children are all locat-
ed but it is far from being in the old
school building.
The ladies who constitute the Civic
Club OF Mt. jackson and who have
pledged to pay $4,000 on desks
for the school, have already begun to
work, as Mrs. F. M. Speigle and Miss
Kipps held Kid party on last We'd
nesday night. All who were present
were liable for apenny for every inch
of their waist measure, it is useless to
say that there was difference in the
pay roll, as Mr.. w. w. Birds bill was
81 cents while Little Mary Jane Dingle-
dimes was only % cents. The total
was 2199 inches, while
here were 60 present, a few sent their
pennies and for being present, which
.otaled $22 rs.

1t is gratifying to know that only
'125.00 worth of books were burned
n the recent fire that belonged to
he scholars which is less than AZ cts.
ZACH. while we regret to say the
Teachers books and Library amounted
o about $475.00.
