SCHOOLS OPENED,
Considerable Work Involved By the Free
Text Book System,
The public schools opened on Mon-
day morning with an attendance of
about one hundred pupils, and the
rooms are comfortably filled. The
school term will continue for eight
months, but the scholars will have an
occasional vacation in that time, The
pcool rooms during the past summer
have been repaired and renovated in a
proper manner. All the rooms have
been newly painted and the furniture
freshly varnished, which puts the
structure in a presentable shape again.
Under the new free text book law
which goes into effect at this term,
considerable work is involved in the
distribution of the books and making | «
proper records of the same. Every-
thing is now supplied the scholar
from text books down to slate pencils,
and there is nothing left for him to
purchase in way of school supplies,
Pencils, tablets, pens, ink, ete, are all
supplied free, The recording of each
outlay of supplies is complicated and
requires much extra labor on the part
of the teacher,

about six weeks ago, when he was
taken worse and was unable to leave
his bed, suffering greatly, until death
oee urred on Saturday.
Mr. Smith was an industrious and
intelligent young man, a dutiful son,
and was highly regpected by all his |
companions. His age was about twen- |

The funeral took place on Tuesday
morning, interment being
