I will say in the outset I have never seen a better interest in the schools than at present. 1 have visited several of the schools and am well pleased with the outlook. It may be of in terest to speak in detail of the schools as I visited them. The Head River school on Lookout mountain is in the charge oj‘ Miss Fannie Porter,* a lady ofexperiance and ability,* and has an enrollment of over forty, and the prospect is that Miss Fannie will have a sue ccssful terim They have a pretty good house at that place and among the improvements is a handsome small library. The State line school is being taught by Walter M. Slump a young man of ability, who I pre diet will make his mark high tip someday; The Cloverdale school is in charge of Rev. Will R. Mamie who is work ing with a vim to build up a man hood of usefulness in the (Hover dale district. Will’s whole aim is to do good and leave ‘record for good behind him that can never be destroyed. The Cave Spring schools pre sided Over by Miss Minnie Bible she has an enrolcment or sere nay eight, but some of her pupils will go to Rising Fawn. Minnie is pains taking and has a zeal commendable for one of her age, and 1 believe she will have a successful term. The Rising Fawn Furnace school for the negros, is in charge of Liz zie Arrington; of Chattanooga, and the colored people are to l>e con gratulated in having secured such an efficient teacher as Lizzie -and Ought to stand by her to a man. The Risinf Fawn school is tinder the local management of John Hay and wife. Prof. Hay has oner one hundred on the roll and has just opened school, but I predict he will teach one of the most success ful terms in the history of Rising Fawn. The Union school is under the successful management of Jeff Garrett, one of our best teachers and he is controlling his school with marked ability, but the house is too small. The Trenton school is under the able management of E. (4. Carroll and Miss Ada Lea, they are both teachers of experience and the school work in Trenton was never better than this term. Pine Grove, this school is under the successful management of Miss Eula Jacowayj and in my opinion there is no better primary teacher in the state. The children all love her to almost perfect obedience and the patrons are well pleased. Miss Naomi Kalian is doing effi cient work at New Libertyj having an enrollnfbntof twenty six. Naomi is an experienced teacher, and nothing I could say would add to her success. She has some bright pupils. Will speak ot all theschools as I visit them. Yours truly, G. A. R.

The Thief Was Caught. B. L. Porter, a genial soul, out for a good time, came to Tenipe Sunday and foane it just the sort of place he was looking for. By late afternoon ho Was having the time of his life, but was tired, and after being refused a drink at the Anheuser, acted upon the advice of the proprietor and sought a place to rest and recuperate. The invit ing shade of an old cot'onwood tree along the P f & Vj, tracks lured him and thither he wended his uncer tain step, closely followed by an observing Yaqui, who evidently liked the looks of Porter’s time piece, which showed through his shirt pocket. The weary one lay dowe to rest, ami lus actions were copied by the Yaqui, a short distance away, 1 In: propiietor of the Anheuser J'oeame suspicious of the Indian's actions and called the attention of Deputy ►Sheriff Bam Reed to him. Unob served, the two watched, and Were rewarded by se* ing the Yaqui go lhrough the pockets of his Victim mid the 11 leave him asleep. The deputy sheriff was on the spot m njiffy and overtook the Indian a short distance away. The theif denied at first that IrJ had taken the watch, hut his plot* sta tious were of no avail, and he very reluctantly gave it up, whereupon he was landed in the calaboose. All this had taken place while Porter was peaceful!; sleep ng away his troubles, and lie had not the slightest idea who had lob bed him, or, in fact, that he had been robbed at all, vutil the officer informed him. The watch was noi a very valuable one, hut it> then will furnish the Yaqui a free hoard ing place for some time —Arizona Gaze’te, July 27th. We retrieved a marked copy of the above piesumably from Mr Porter. Wo also presume it vva> intended for publication, but rlio only ieason we can see v\ i y lie shouldTwish it reproduced is to show his friends here how very lucky lie was in ‘‘lost time”. Marganvilb The news from our burg ii is nearly all washed away this week. Wilson and Burkhart, our gener al merchants, have not found a solid place for pric g yet, they con tinue to deniininh or else — Mr. Carl Fowler visited home folk Sunday. Think the candidates have all truck except Peyton Pace, h i still making regular n-umls. We are in need of a school rcach ■r. It is stiang-i any way that we nave to go out of our ow mcminty to get a teacher. 3lr. Alex Raines seems f o he en joying life, just so it don't rain on Sunday.
