Friday afternoon the two rooms of the Fair Oaks school united and had literary exercises, everybody enjoyed themselves. Mr. Mallet’s store was broken into Thursday night. The loss was not great. About $3 In money and a few pencils and a number of other little articles. It is thought by the majority of the people that the parties who did the robbery live in the city. I will say we know who the parties are and if it occurs again we will find some place besides Fair Oaks for them. Randle Overton has been on the sick list for the past few days. It is thought he is takieg the lung fever.
