Besides 1 there are a number of nice residences go ing up in various parts of the town. Mr. A. J.

When com pleted he will be prepared lo run his busi ness on a larger scale. The teachers of the county are out teaching in various parts of the county. Like many other counties the per capita apportioned is greater this year than the previous year, which will lengthen the school term in each school district. Mrs. Sallie M. Barbour, Messrs A. J. C.

Crews as principals, are well attended and in a flourishing condition. Rev.

We learn from Northern papers that he did credit to both himself and the race. Our public school teachers all have the blues about now.
