Virgie schools are closed on account of the influenza and Independence school in Barkley closed last week on account of the epidemic. Wheatfield schools has not as yet reopened. Pearl Babcock Rea of Rensselaer, -who is teaching at Fair Oaks has taken down with the influenza. The schools are still running at Fair Oaks with this teacher out. It is understood that all teachers and pupils who have the influenza now have it less severe than the cases recorded earlier in the year. A. C. Campbell, who is principal at Fair Oaks, brought his little three-year-old daughter to the hospital Tuesday for treatment of a lacerated tonsil, due to the little tot’s falling with a spoon in her mouth. The child was able to return home Wednesday morning. County Superintendent W. O. Schanlaub of Newton county was a visitor in Rensselaer Tuesday. Township trustees will soon begin work with their books to turn tame over to the newly elected trustees. This will mean several hours sweating to make the books conform to the bank balances, for which the trustees are financially responsible.
