Mr. Hargus was born in Henry county, his mother having been one of the early pioneers. At an early age he removed to Bates county and resided there until the family came to St. Clair, settling on a farm in Roscoe ve’ township. In 1884 his father caught , cold from standing in a drenching sleet all election day fighting the bat- tles of Democracy. This developed into pneumonia and he died the fol- lowing month, leaving a widow and seven children. Although but 11 years of age Jesse cheerfully shouldered the responsi- bility as head of the family and aided by a Spartan mother succeeded in educating them into refined women well with Miss Rose Quiett as teach- er. The pupils responded well on all work given them. This school will have some rural graduates this year for its first time. The patrons are considering the proposition of build- At Red Top the pupils are as order- ly and well behaved as could be ask- ed for and as a result their work is equally satisfactory.

This school will have some rural graduates for the first time, also. Down at Peru we found all pupils working well, and they were not only willing to try our test but anxious for the opportunity. We may be a little partial to this school, having taught there once; but if this should be:laid aside and the opinion of other teach- ers concerning these pupils there be taken we would have to say this is one of the best schools in the county. ters, Marie Gough and Clarence Mc- Kenna have sent in the work left for them to do. Pleasant Valley, in Lone Oak town- ship, was not in session on account of a funeral in the neighborhood. This is right for often this respect is overlooked or neglected. Double Branch school, in Pleasant Gap township, is doing well with Miss Lyda Faulkner as teacher. The pupils like reading better than any other subject and as a result are good readers. To hame the good workers in this school would be to name all of them. They had all work left with them, before, ready and anxious for more. We gave them more work, heard several classes recite, talked to them and answered questions con- cerning the work and had to promise another visit before leaving when the Normal and expects to make him- week the other time being spent in catching up with some office work that had been alowed to accumulate since schools began.
