to begin!
The sixth, seventh and eighth
grades were taken by Prof. Har
mon, Who: seemed as glad to see
his old familiar pupils and the
few new ones as they were to
see and be taught 16y liim.
Our attendance was-excellent,
being between 65 and 70 pupils.
The number will be greatly in
creased soon, as a majority of
our pupils are farmer girls and
boys, who are at liberty to at
tend only after harvest is over.
Our building was as clean,
light and airy as ever and we
were having such a pleasant
time that we regretted that ser
vices lasted only from 8:45 to
10:15, when we were dismissed
for the day.

School Fund Apportioned.
Little Rock, Sept. 4—The
state board of education today
apportioned the common schooj,
fund among the various coun
ties of the state. Two years ago
the amount apportioned each
child was $2.09, which was 22
cents more ner capita than this
year. This decrease is attribut
ed to several causes, chief of
which is the appropriation of
$50,000 made by the legislature
for state aid to high, schools.
This $50,000 was taken from
the common school fund. Last
year a considerable, sum was
placed to the credit of the school
fund, caused by fines for viola
tion of the anti-trust law. This
year the fund did not receive
anything from that source.
- Jackson county was appor
tioned the sum of $14,918.86,
having a school population of
7,978.

CYCLONE
VISITS OZARK
Property Destroyed Near Ozark
No Lives Lost In
Storm.
Ozark, Sept. 4.—At 11:25
o’clock today a cyclone struck
the northeast portion of this
(White Oak) township, com
mencing three miles of Ozark,
width 200 yards, lasting three
minutes, completely destroying
crops, mowing down fences, tim
ber, blowing several barns into
splinters, injured a fine horse of
Jim Hardcastle. So far no one
was injured or killed. It is im
possible to get full details of
the storm, because several tele
phones were put out of commis
sion along the track of the cy
clone. Dave Wells’ residence
was badly blown off its founda
tion, damaging all the doors,
blowing off the hinges, window
light blew out, and pearly all the
furniture was blown out of the
house. The family made their
escape by entering a storm
house near by. Loss cannot yet
be estimated, but will roach
somewhere in several thousand
dollars. The track of the cy
clone was a little from the south
west to northeast. The storm
was accompanied by a heavy
downpour of rain. Later Elm
Springs school house wfTs blown
to pieces. Many citizens who
live on the outskirts of the track
of the storm observed the sky
blocked with timber, fence rails
and other debris, twisting
around, making 4he most fright
ful scene they ever gazed upon.
