The material for the new side walk cost $49.5K, so this dinner given by the ladies paid for the material with the exception of a few dollars. The work was done by donation of the men folks of the dis trict, and for this effort started and carried out by those interested in the schools we now have in the neighbor hood of 1000 square feet of good con crete walk leading up to the school house without one penny of cost to the district.

Mr. and Mrs. Friedrich did not get start ed to the dance until rather late, and one of their fine chickens had taken his perch on their auto for the night. Being on the rear of the car they did not notice the chicken until they ar lived in Murray.
