NEWS BUDGETS FROM
NEARBY TOWNS
CLAYTON
IteFns of Personal and Social In
terest Cleaned About Town


The Clayton Schools which OPP
ened auspiciously last Tuesday
with Prof. Hickman principal in
charge, is now looking forward to
moving into their handsome new
eight-room building which has
been completed. 1t had been hop
ed to have the student body occu-
Ply it on the opening day but there
was some unfinished work to do
and the new building had to pass
final inspection before it was
turned over to the Board of
School Commissioners. This will
probably be done to-day so that
the schools can occupy their new
rooms in the building next Mon
day. The new school building
which is modern in every respect
is credit to the School Board as
well as the Town of Clayton and
no one man deserves more credit
for seeing that Clayton got fine
job than Rynear w. Slaughter,
chairman of the Building Commit
tee. Mr.. Slaughter has had this
building near and dear to heart
and has given much of his time
and personal attention to the pro
ject from the foundation up to
the finished building. Prof. Hick-
man is live-wire school principal
and the work he has outlined
promises successful year. Clay
ton schools are to be congratulate
ed on their new school building
and in having a school principal
interested in his work.
