School Notes.
The enrollment of the rity school
ha shown a steady iucrea.- since
the opeuiug. la the two weeks
which have itassed there have liern
added to the first day's enrollment
name, making at present a to
tal of ;.Hi.
The first days of the school term
have been, from every standpoint,
encouraging. Hutu teachers and
students, iu a great majority of iu
stances, aeem iutent upon their
work. More Intense earnestness is
rarely seen iu a school of like size.
The young men aud women or;toI, , ,wd time withhiaaon.
the high arhiwl have organized taojKcv. K. II. Urooin.
literary societies, aud hope to make
thia phase of their woik better this
year thau ever before.
An organization of the Senior
class haa been etlected, and the
class is at present considering the
advisability of iuauguratiug a high
school magazine. If present plaus
do not miscarry, it is boied that
there will soon lie going out from
the school a publication which will
be a credit to the school and will
take due rank among similar pub
lirations throughout the State.
The .crowded condition of the
North Monroe school brings to
light a need which the city has long
suflered. I.et's have a larger house
and an assistant teacher at that
place. Some steps have already
been taken ill that direction, and
nothing should interfere with the
completion of arrangements which
will give to that portiou of the
city s populatlou a proportionate
share of school mix antages.
Visit the school. They are yours
and you have a right to know how
they are being coudiicted. Itecause
they are yours, too, you should le
interested in them. Are you! The
frequency of your visits might l
regarded as a test. Act so that
you will not be misjudged.

Death of Mr. John U. Barton.
Mi. John (1. Itarton died at his
home in this place laat Tuesday
afternoon after a long Illness, at the
age of seveuty eight years. He is
survived by his aged wife. Their
only child died many years ago.
The body was buried with the lion
or of the Masonic order last Wed
nesday afternoon. Mr. liarton was
as trne a man as ever lived. He
was a native of Lancaster county
and was the first volunteer from
that county to join the Confederate
army. After the war be settled In
Monroe aud followed the trade of a
brick mason in which work he ex
celled. When ho finished a job it
waa done right. It was said of him
that it was not wotth while to ask
him the price of a job, for be would
make the figure the same after it
was done as if had been bargained
for in advance. He followed his
work with the old time love of the
master workman, and after reach
ing the age ol seventy years would
to to the bin of high chimneys.
Whatever cause he espoused fonud
in him the true soldier, faithful to
the last He was a member of the
Presbyterian church and was the
type of christian that supplements
the true faith with bonest work.
A brave, true, modest, four square
man baa gone to bis reward, leav
ing behind him the genuine re
4prct and admiration of all who
came in contact with bim, whether
rich or poor, high or low.
We still lead in the Shoe busl

To Make Hig Improvement in non-
roe Telephone System.
Flaewhere appears, a notice to
stockholders of the Monroe Tele
phone Company to meet for the
purpose of discussing a proposition
to incrcaae the capital stock of the
coin puny. Ollicers and slock hold
eis of the company are talking
very frankly of their plans for im
proving the system, which must la?
made to grow to keep up with the
growing demands of the town.
W lib the present equipment the
company has reached its maximum
of clbcicncy, aud to provide for
new dcuiHuds finds it necessary to
limbic the capital stock. Mouroe
has outgrown the old system of ten
years ago the "common wire"
system over which everybody can
hear what everylaxly else is say
ing. The business of the town is
demanding the full metallic system
which is the latest and most ap
proved in America today. All the
present wires aud 'pboues will be
taken out aud replaced by the bet
ter system, aud the work is expect
ed to be begun within the next few
weeks. It will probably require
three or four mouths to complete
it. Monroe will then have a sys
tem equal to any in the land. The
company will have to spend ten
thousand dollars or more to put in
the new system. The new' phones
will not have hells, but each 'phone,
being connected with Its own cir
cuit of wire, will have the light
signal arrangement which calls
central when the receiver Is down.
The company is simply preparing
to give the town the bent that cau
be had, because the time has come
hen such is an imperative neces
sity, and to do so it has to go luto
the pockets or its stockholder lor
a large outlay.
