a short distanee on each side of the
public road from Hethunc to Bishop
vHle, just below the residence of Mr.

of the trustees of this district, that
he needed only two more names on the
petition asking for air election on the
question of, IssuhYg bonds to build a
new school liouyc at tills place and that
he expected to secure these two names
that afternoov.. The election will he
held at an early date and there is no
doubt hu\ the election will go for the
bond Issue by' a nice majority, as our
citizens are ftfilj alive to the necessity
of bettor school facilities here. A
prominent hanker and business man of
an adjoining county lias already stated
that he would be glad, to purchase He
tliune's school bond* as soon as they
were offered for sale.
The annual election for town officers
here will be held on the second Tues

The Cassatt school had thetr clotting
exercises last Friday by giving a bas

ami' delivered an address. *
A car load of material was Unloaded
here Tuesday afternoon, which will be
used in building a steel bridge on the
public road just beyond Ellis bridge
totween here and McBee, on the Wash
ington to Atlanta highway. The com
missioners of Alligator township in
Chesterfield county are building roads
in that township which will enhance
the value of real estate within a^short
time from 40 to 50 per cent and which
will greatly redound to the sane, sound
and progressive judgment of those who
voted for the $40,000 bond issue there
two years ago, thereby making these
splendid roads possible, and , on the
other hand confounding the weajc ar
gument of those who opposed' the bond
issqe for no special reason except that
.they were ^pgin it." ? Some fblks in
e\ery community j,*r<J*vever. will oppose
any movement Inaugurated for the ben

In view of^ne fact that an election
