The public schools of the county will open on November 28tli, for the winter term of four months. All the teachers are getting ready to begin their work, and indications fire that the attendance will be very good. Work j on the farms in the country is almost i at and end for this year, and does not | begin in earnest until near the close of i winter term, therefore, the attendance will no doubt be larger than last term. The county board of education will hold an important meeting next Wed nesday. The question of how the teachers should be paid will be settled at this meeting. For the past year they have receiyed so much per scholar, the number in attendance regulating their pay. It is proposed now, by some members of the board, to fix a stated salary for each teacher in the county, the grade, experience and abil ity of the teacher and importance of the school, regulating the salary each is to receive. It is argued by many that this is the best method of paying the teachers, and it is probable that the Board will adopt it. At any rate, the question will be positively determined next Wednesday to take effect at once. Turnipseed-Adams. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Turnipseed, of Hampton, announce the engagement of their daughter, Allie Pearl, to Mr. J.O. Adams, of Gainesville, the marriage to occur Wednesday morning, November 16th, at 9.30 o’clock.

A fire started in the basement of the store of Mr. Oscar Moore last Tuesday afternoon, but it was put out before any damage was done. An employee went to the cellar to draw some gas oline, and struck a match which, after thinking it was extinguished, he drop ped into some rubbish. In an instant a blaze flew up but the fire companies turned out promptly and extinguished it before any damage was done. A Complete Dam. The new dam at the waterworks station, which has been under con struction for several months, is about completed at last. The work was fin ished once before but the heavy rains in October sprung a leak in the dam, and more dirt and rock were thrown upon it making it sufliciently strong to withstand the heaviest rains. Alder man Norris, who has had the woik in charge, has toiled dilligently to erect a dam that would prove satisfactory in every way. With this additional water at the pumping station there will al ways be an abundant supply for rhe city’s use hereafter, even in the dryest spells or in case of big tires.
