Booming. Winchester is growing -not only growing larger, but growing better. The improvements that are being made, and there are lots of them, are substantial and attractive. The Christian church is being rebuilt and enlarged. In fact the changes are so complete that it will be a new building.

Additions have been built on the north and south, also a vestibule and tower. The entire building has been reroofed, and is being plastered. The church will have inclined floors, fine art glass windows, new furniture, etc. It will be a fine house of worship. The Methodists are repairing and improving their property.

Both church and parsonage are being painted and papered. The church pews are being revarnished, and when the work is finished they will have a very neat and attractive church. The Reformed Presbyterians are building a modern parsonage. It will have eight rooms, bath, furnace, cellar under the entire house, and will be up-to-date and modern in every respect. Ralph Shove has the foundation in for his new home.

It will be two stories and basement, fully modern, and as good as the best. The frame work on Clark's store building and the Bank of Winchester is being re-painted, the furniture and fixtures of the bank are being re-varnished and fixed up generally. This is one of nicest little bank buildings in the county. Samuel Swoyer has built a large building, which is being used to paek and storeapples. He is also improving his other business buildings and residence and putting in a lot of cement walks.

A number of other homes are being improved and modernized. New cement walks are being laid on almost every street in town. More new walks are going in this year, than in the last few years. This does not begin to tell all of the good things happening in Winchester. Lack of space prevents us from mentioning the many new homes and other improvements being built by the prosperous farmer around town.

HERMAN SPITZENPFEIL, Proprietor, New School House. Is there any reason why Winchester should not have a new school building? From a sanitary stand point the old building is unfit to house scholars for a school term. From a financial stand point the old building should be abandoned on account of the continual need of repairs and extra amount of fuel required to heat it during the winter, not figuring the wasted energy occasioned by the uncomfortable conditions of the different rooms and which cannot be overcome. It would be well for the patrons of this district to visit this building and then proceed to make arrangements for a new building next spring. The children of the Methodist Sunday school can get their day school papers by calling at the parsonage.

The church building is going: repairs and there will be no services in the church next Sunday. Leonard Abbott has bills out advertising a public sale for Septembea 10. They expects to move to Hannon, Barton country, Missouri this fall. Mr. Abbott has bought a farm near that place.

W. Davis of Ottawa. formally a teacher of Jefferson county made this office a pleasant call Tuesday. Dr. Davis still has an interest in the schools here.

Willie Currie who taught at Liberal last year expects to enter school at Manhattan this year. Willie thinks the life of a farmer is alright. Personally we believe that our schools ought to educate the boys more in this line of work than they are now doing. Prof. John Roberts has returned to his school work at Peabody for another year at an increased salary.

During the vacation the board of education at that place set the school building in order and fitting out the superintendents office with an elegant rug and other things that go to show their appreciation of the work Prof. Roberts is doing. Ernest Fulton has been employ ed as principal of the grades in the schools of Liberal, Kansas. Ernest was one of the eighth grade teachers at that place last year and we are glad to note his promotion. Prof.

Fred Thompson of Nortonville was visiting with frierds in Oskaloosa this week. Nortonville will have three regular teachers doing high school work this year. The outlook for the school this year is very promising. The schools of the county have all been supplied with teachers and as far as we are able to learn the schools of the county will begin under the most favorable circumstances. It should he remembered that the teacher alone can not make the school.

There must be co operation on the part of pupils and patrons. The parents have a very important part. They should see that their chi dren enter the first day and that they attend regularly -out the entire term. All cases of truancy should be promptly reported. The Oskaloosa school will begin September 12th.

Arrangements are being made for a manual training department which will be under the direction of Miss Minnie Cnapman. It has not been decided yet just how extensive the work will be but it is expected that this department will become a permanent feature of the institute. Miss Chapman has taken special work during the summer at Pittsburg and we believe the success of the department is assured. The Reading Circle books may be secured at the superintendents office at any time. The books are elements of agriculture and the school and its life.

These are excellent works and should be in the possession of every teacher. We are in receipt of a list of the approved school books for the various grades of the Valley Falls school. It is surprising to note the amount of material it takes to run a school. The list is very completed and up to date. Prof.

Will Rees has been attending the summer term at the State University. He will return for another year's work at Meriden- He will be the new member of the county examining board.
