More School Houses--Felix township is preparing to build three more new school houses not many moons hence.

No Go--The school authorities of Felix township are a little exercised in regard to a certain school house which they desire to move into the geographical center of the sub-district. It appears that through some unexplained carelessness there never was a deed given for the land, and the man who owns it doesn't want the school house taken from its present site. Let directors be more careful in future.
