Pleasant Hill, October 31--As nothing has appeared in the columns of the Ardmoreite from this part of the moral vineyard, I think we are entitled to a write-up from this section. Pleasant Hill is a new school house only ten months old and has already had two short terms of school, one of three months last spring and one of two months this summer. By the hustling of interested citizens and the assistance of U. S. COMMISSIONER T. N,. ROBNETT, we secured $210 of the appropriation made by the government. The community made up an amount sufficient to maintain a six months free school, all of which our community is very proud. The school began today with PROF. JOHNSON, who was employed by the government to conduct the present term of the six months. Pleasant Hill is 4 ½ miles southwest of Ardmore at the Downward asphalt mines. J.S. DOWNAARD has returned from St. Jo, Missouri where he has been for the past ten days. After a week’s illness, the little son of JOE SMITH passed away to his eternal rest Friday morning.

RUSSELL are erecting a new two room cottage for the school teacher at this place. The box supper at the school house for the purpose of securing money with which to ceil the building and purchase a stove proved to be a total success. The receipts totaled $44.70. The case for the handsomest lady bought $21.40 and was awarded to MRS. O’CONNOR. The collection was taken for the purpose of purchasing a stove for MRS. STEWIG, a helpless widow in our community. The amount was readily contributed.
