The contract for a sewer from Make-em-self sewer to the Grammar school building has been let to George Booth and Son, and the.> work to be done at once. A basement is to be excavated under the west side of this building to be used as toilet rooms. The need for this improvement is very imperative. At a recent meeting of the local order of the Knights of Columbus it was voted to set. aside a substantial sum for the relief of the suffering thousands of. the near East. The money has been forwarded to the state council, who in turn will send it to the national council. Other local organizations are following the lead of the Knights of Columbus, and these sums added to those of private individuals will make Jasper county a very creditable showing.

Are in* a lovely location three blocks from Main street and near the bay. One should come here once just to see the dif- | ference between the north and south *ht this time of the year.”
