A part of the furniture in the

School Closed
The school had been closed for
the past several days due to the
prevalence of influenza in the coun-
ty and the bad condition of roads
throughout the section. No fires
had been built in the furnace, To-
Gated in the basement, which led to
the belief that defective wiring
was the cause of the conflagration.

of approximately $780, 900, the build.
ing housed both the elementary and
High school grades. The structure
is located on the outer edge of town
and no residential houses are
nearby.
Mr.. Hatsell said last night that
plans are already under way for a
new building, which will be erected
through federal and state funds.
An architect has already been Sc
cured and has started drafting plans
for the new building, he said.
The school superintendent said
that he hoped to have all arrange
ments completed for starting work
on the building within a few weeks.
He said also that plans are being
made to classes for both
the elementary and high school de
partments Monday. The churches
of the town have granted permits
sion to use the buildings for classes
until a new school building has
been erected. Private homes will
also be utilized for classes.
Mr.. Hatsell said that nothing Of
Importance could be salvaged from
the flame-wrecked building, al
though a majority of the walls
were still intact.
