TOWHSIIIP SCHOOLS COMING TO CLOSE

In Some Townships They Have Already Been Discontinued On Account of Sickness.

The township school terms are drawing lo a close, and some have already closed on account of sickness and vaccination. In Blue River Jackson and Brown townships the common schools have been closed. The terms were within a few days of the finish when the vaccination order was given, and many were made unable to attend because of vaccination, while diseases of various kinds prevailed in some places. The high schools will continue in these townships until the terms are completed, however. The schools at Maxwell and McCordsville which were closed two weeks on account of smallpox, resumed Monday again.

Last Saturday diploma examinations were held in some of the townships and there were a large number of pupils who took the examination and should all receive the required grade, there will be a big class of graduates this year. Another opportunity will be given those who fail on the first examination.

SEARCH GYPSY GANG

Richmond Police on the Hunt For Winters' Clue.

When Patrol Driver Wenger went to Gilbert's field, opposite the 24th street entrance to Glen Miller park Friday afternoon to order a band of gypsies to move on, he found in the camp a number of young girls. At once he forgot his original intentions and became an investigator to learn if any of the children answered the description of Catherine Winters. The driver failed to identify any of the children in the gypsy camp as the little Winters girl, and then carried out his mission. The gypsies were ordered to pay Joe Gilbert, owner of the field, $1 a day as rent, or to move on. The chief of the band had ordered the tents set on the field early this week, expecting to make it his camp until later in the spring—Richmond Item.

Advertising Public Sales. The Franklin Democrat says: "An exchange tells of a farmer who spent $255 advertising his public sale, which is considerably more than the amount usually expended. The result was that the sale totaled $700 more than his highest estimate, so he thinks that it was money well spent."

Farmers in this community have realized for some time that they reap splendid results from liberal newspaper advertising, of public sales. A few dollars spent with local newspapers for advertising will

place the list of your property in the homes and on the reading tables of the people who are prospective buyers. That newspaper advertising of public sales pays well is a fact that no one can deny.

GREAT RELIGIOUS WAVE SWEEPING LEWISVILLE

Nearly one hundred persons have been converted in a series of revival meetings that have been in progress at- the Lewisville M. E. church for six wrecks.

At the end of two weeks the pastor announced that the meetings would close, but one man went to the altar and was converted. The meetings continued and there have been conversions at each service.
