Some time ago five Vernon county districts near Bronaugh, and later, five adjoin- ing Metz, voted to form a consoli- dater district. Both districts then voted down a bond issue which was necessary to build the con- solidated high school, consequent- ly both are consolidated districts but with no funds to carry out the purpose for which the consoli- dation was affected.—Sheldon Enterprise. i |for which they are intended.

We wondered as we retreated from the sacred. spot . what knowledge eternity would reveal of those who slept as quictly as he. The storms of time beat down the sturdy oaks of the forest. The: ancient land marks must be_ re- moved. Change is nature’s inex- orable law, and man, that is born into the world, is of few days and full of trouble. Life is given to man without his knowledge and takeh away without his consenti, Tenacity for life is the mainspring; of haman existence, for without it the raee would have long since been extinct. Life is sweet to the young because of bouyant hopes and anticipated’ pleasures. It is precious. to the middle aged be- cause of tasks unfinished and re- sponsibilities not fully discharged. Buét to the pain-racked body of the aged it has lost all_of its sweet- ness and most-of its value, and they long for the _ tramsition time, So while there is sorrow in this, there is solace in the fact that | suffering and pain are: over and the body is: quiet in rest.
