Let us endeavor to make lifo pleasant for those aronud us as well as for ourselves, let us a tuke life as it comos and get the best |e out of it we can; but never worry about something over which wo have |. no control. To worry over the unavoidable, is to weaken your powers ,f of endurance when the timo of trouble arrives. e ! New School District Established. Tho citizens of West Springs have 0 secured a school district for that township. The matter was left to a ,f vote of the citizens c>f the township, (l I which will take place on the 15th ' I inst. That the school district, is ?n 1 assured thing was ascertained by Mr. L. F. Stanford, who mado a careful r. canvass of the citizens, and found In only two citizens in ti?e township Who offered any opposition. Mr. t Stanford has been earnestly working 'e for this for some time. The owners ft of the West Springs academy propis erty, of which Mr. Stanford owns the in greater share, propose to deed the property to the trustees for school purposes. A two mill tax will be levied for the schools, and they will be run ubout eight months. It was i.. mainly through Mr. (I. T. Hyatt, and Mr. H. 0. Lawson, members of . the board, that the citizens secured the privilege of an election upon the V question. The school trustee? for b the uew district will also be chosen 1) on the 15th. ^ ? - TO HKNT?Three elegant rooms in the Hill House, with kitchen attach10 v&, and room for servant In the yard. *'* Apply to J.

A couple of policemen woro walking down street, when they noticed smoke issuing from t lie ventilators on the pavement in front of PureoU's store. Thoy looked through the glass and saw that the re: r of the store was tilled with smoke. They decided that the fno was in the cellar, and ran around to the rear and after repeated cTTorts succeeded in breaking in tho cellar door, which seemed to bo held shut by 8omo kind of a prop on the inside, The do-?r had a padlock upon tHo outside. bub tho staple hoi.line this hud been r!r.i\v:i and Wis found o ? the irr.>urd inside the c? liar. Bags had I) ? it |il,icod over I he cellar windows t ? hiue the bh.ze until ib got in its line \r".It The Hi e bug then prolully set atr.ip prop to slide* down into pni.ition when lie pulled the door shut from the outside. The fire was ah.'ut the venter of-thc cellar. Jirokn t i. ces of goods by.vs h;id been piled around one of the rich wood uprights supporting the floor, and the match app!ijd. The flair.es had already ran up the column and were eating their way along the beam and into the floor when discovered. An hour later it would have been beyond control. v The fire was put out with little trouble. The colored tiremen were promptly on hand, but as upon the occasion of the fire in poverty ITut, there was no hydrant wrench to bo* had. This kind of thing should not be allowed to occur again. Mr. Pureell had just closed up his store and had gone with Ins clerks over to the K. of P. banquet at the hotel, lie had left his safe open with a hundred or so dollur.s in it and all his books, expecting to return after the banquet and cmh up. The lire, had it succeeded, would have hit him a heavy blow. Mr. Pureell says he has no enemy that he is aware of aud cannot imagine who would want to burn him out, . Union Boy is Uoncsomc.
