SCHOOL WORK.
Friday of last week was an important day in the history of the union district of Wiglitman and Smart schools. The government gave the district a 40-acre tract across the road west of the home of W. D. Cook, and on this occasion there were 60 head of horses and 35 men at work leveling the land and about five acres was put in shape. The ladies turned out and prepared a big dinner, of which about 80 men, women and children partook, which was served at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Cook. There was an abundance of fried chicken and all the good things that go with it and there was not one present but had ample opportunity to appease his appetite.
The Wightman building has been moved to the new site and the Smart school house is on the way. It is the intention of the people of the.. union district to meet in the near future and score another point in leveling another tract and prepare for a district park. Trees and shrubbery will be put out and arrangements made for athletic sports of all kinds.
