Robinson and Adam Hess have been away for some time buying cattle. M.L.Lane’s and L. E. Rathfon’s schools have closed. Mrs. John Oden is ill with an attack of lung fever. W. E. Netherton, Superintendent of the Pulaski County schools, intends holding a normal school at Francesvilla beginning April 11th and continuing six weeks, to be followed by a six weeks term at Medaryville. It will be remembered that Superintendent Netherton held in W inamac during the past two years the largest normals in the state. We think it will be an advantage to any teacher of Jasper county who wishes to attend a spring normal and review their studies, to attend Superintendent Nether ton’s normal, as he is a good school worker.
