---------------------------------
The school in district No. 5, Lincoln township, will close on Friday, March 24th, after five months session. J. B. Horner is the teacher. The last two days will be devoted to examinations. All are invited.

Jerome Items -- A new frame school house has been built at Jerome and the Methodists hold services in it every Sunday. --Henry Wilson, the good blacksmith of that place, is also postmaster. --J. M. Crouch has opened a blacksmith shop about one mile west of Jerome. --Peter Sidles has built a good bank barn.
-----------------------
The new town laid out at the depot of the C. & S. W. at Bellair by Huston & Harvey, is called Numa. The people of Bellair, we are informed, desire to have the name of that place changed to Numa, so as to conform with the name of the postoffice, thereby preventing mistakes in mail matter, as Johnson county, this state, has a postoffice called Bellair.
-----------------------
--Farmers have commenced sowing spring wheat.
--The season for planting trees is at hand. Let all improve the opportunity.
--The boarding train left here Thursday morning for Bellair. The track layers are about two miles on the other side of that place.
--Why not pay female school teachers, who do an equal amount of work and do it equally as well,as much as male teachers receive?
