".The people of Marshall became justly alamed wheV it waidis covered that the cast iron pipe line from the Intake on Hunter creek to the town of Marshall failed to deliver the water to the reservoir at Marshall. This trouble was caused by leaks in the pipe.. Some of the leaks were repaired and for the last two weeks the town has had water and the reservoir , over flowing. The citizens acted very patient ly. We wish to assure the people that the matter about the water svstem is in srood shape. Mar shall will have as perfect a .water system as can be made without additional cost to the people. The job of delivering the water failed to come up to the standard. The town is in nowise at fault. The American Cast Iron Pipe Company, the manufacturers of the pipe; has taken the line in charge and will make it a per fect job. They will have it in hand for twelve months, so. thai there will be plenty of time to thoroughly test it out. The town authorities do not know, whether it was the fault of the Southern Dray Company, the contractors who put in, the , pipe...or3he;fanjt of theitj -company that caused the trouble with the pipe line. The town holds a very strict contract with the Southern D r a y, Gompany which provides for a acceptable perfect job and also holds a bond of $12,000, executed by the Southern Dray Company for the faithful and strict compliance by the' Southern Dray Company of their contract , The American Cast ; Iron Pipe ' Company is one of the largest and most reliable concerns of its kind in the United , States and they, as stated, have taken over the pipe line and guarantee to the town a good job. The town authorities are not in position to say who is responsible for the present condition of affairs, but the town will hold all the , se curities it has and will leave it urto the Southern Dray Com pany and the pipe 'company as to ' who 18 to blame. The town has every assurance that it will get a perfect job of the gravity water cine line. : The American Cast Iron Pipe Company is now . at work on the line and will have it under sup ervision until it is put in perfect shape. This company 'has cer tainly acted yery honorably with the town of Marshall. It is 'ex pected that . the v work will ao , proceed that the town will have a full supply of water while the work is in progress. , Thetown will be at no addit ional cost. The town is to be congratulatedupon the" fact that .notwithstanding it was predicted that it ' would take twice the amount of money provided for tbs 'installation of ; j the water system it now appears that the , town will get a perfect system Irside of the bond money pro vided for 'Jhat purpose. ? Al- though several things; have been - done that were not' figured in thft oriaHnal cost, ifc is tks In - tention of the town authorities tA Ttend th svst pm in - the r n and make it as perfect as ible.

Attendance Law Parents Must Send Children to School, Says County Superintendent I Within the next few days warrants will be taken out for several parents in the county for not complying with the compulsory school attendance law, according to Prof. Homer Henry, county superintendent of public instruction. . , The law requires every par ent or guardian of a child be tween the ages of 7 and 14 to send the child to school contin uously during the school term in the district in which the child resides. Any parent or guardian failing to do so is liable to a fine of from $5 to $25 or a term in the county jail not exceeding thirty days. The law excuses a child from temporary attendance on ac count of sickness, or distance from the school, or. other un avoidable cause which does not constitute truancy. , At the last meeting of the county board of: education, Supt. Henry was instructed to take out warrants for those who persist in violating "the school attendance act and was prom ised the whole hearted support of the board. . v ' -' 'Mr. Henry says that the law imposes this course upon him, and that he must pursue it how ever much he dislikes to do so.
