*. Home and School i .. I ?? !!? m ?? .SCHOOL NOTES. Soma Splendid Efforts In Betterment On May 12th last District No. 1, white (Thanksgiving school) Oneals township, voted a special school tax of 25 cents on the $100 valuation of property and 75 cents on poll. They wanted a good house, but did not want the children to lose any time from school. In order therefore to accomplish their purpose, in addi tion to the tax voted, worked up a subscription list of lumber to the approximate value of $85. So within the past year the district has built and painted a good two room house with vestibule, has added 20 new desks, stove, an ample supply of hyloplate black board, a supplemen tary library and has had a good school taught by two teachers. District No. 3, white (New Hope school) Ingrams township, having lost th'e school house, made an ex cellent effort for local betterment. The committee by the aid of Mr. P. E. Johnson and others, raised by cash subscription $62. (It is said more but not reported) toward the new building. Therefore the dis trict built a neat one-room house, ad ded new desks, had a good school and is out of debt. Mica Tlnru Uarhnnr tcaphor in Hin. triet No. 2, white (Hickory Grove) Boon Hill township, by a box party raised $14.43 for the betterment of the school. The money was expend ed {or a new stove, a chair, table, bucket and curtains. Several pictur es were furnished for the walls, school yard was kept clean. Mr, E. Liles, teacher in district No. 9, white, Oneala township, re ports $12.51 raised by the communi ty. Five dollars of this amount was spent as school's part of $15 sup plementary library?remainder may be spent for books. (This district Hlsed a nice sum last year also.) Others will be reported later.

An At9hison girl had a proposal of marriage Sunday night and asked a week to think it over. She went to all of her married sisters. One who used to be a belle, had three children, did all her own work, and hadn't been to the theatre or , out riding since she was married. An other, whose husband was a promis ing young man at the time she was married, was supporting him. A third didn't dare say her life was her own when her husband was around, and a fourth was divorced. After visiting them and hearing their woes, the heroine of this little tale went home, got pen, ink. and young man. You may think it was young man. Youm ay think it was refusing him, but it wasn't. She said she could be ready in a month. ?Atchison Globe. Train Robbed at Benson. (Crowded Out Last Week.)

Smith ent> ^ led quite a number of her friends ai her hospitable home, "Fair View,' near Garner, in honor of her sister Miss Effie E. Jones, of near Smitafield. The night being very favorable the young people were out in full force and all seemed jolly and full of fun for conversation, vocal and instrumen> tal music kept at such a height that games were hardly thought of and not participated in. At 10:30 all were invited into the dining room where hot chocolate, cake and fruit were served freely. The rooms were beautifully deco rated, the color scheme being yellow and green. The young people seemed reluc tant to dissemble until the "hour hand" was moving sharply toward the midnight hour when they took their leave, voting Mrs. Smith a charming and entertaining hostess. Those sharing Mrs. Smith's hospi tality were Misses Geneva Buffalo, Myrtte Bryan, Annie Hamilton, May me Hocutt, Maude Hocutt, Effie E. Jones, of Smithfield, Anna Smith, of McCullers, Bessie L. Thorne, of Forest City, Lula Wrenn, Maude Wrenn, and Blanche Wilder; Messrs Andrew Bryan.
