Thing works like magic, and every rebel in
Memphis has dropped his lower jaw an inch

Col CoIooran has given the reason which
he thinks the rebels had for OBTAINING him SO

Election Of School Directors.

The question is to be decided on
Monday next, who is to have control
of the schools of our State for the en-
suing twelve months. 1t is supposed
by many, that the election of director
is very unimportant affair; they will
attend and take an active part in Pres.
idential or Gubernatorial elections, but
a school-meeting or an election of
school director bah !! who cares for
them, SO say these indifferent ones:
and yet we venture the assertion that
it is Of far greater Importance to the
people of any given locality, that they
have capable, intelligent, earnest d.
rectors, than that an able statesman
fills the Gubernatorial chair; in their
hands are placed the dearest interests
we possess-thc education and future
hopes of our children. Is this an un-
important trust? A large amount of
money is also placed at their disposal.
Upwards Of $4,000 is annually ex-
pended in our State, and $4,000 in
Floyd County, in sustaining our COM
mon school system. Have taxpayers
no interests at stake here We ear.
nestly hope that the public will see to
it that proper persons are chosen to
fill this important Office. not only men
who are capable of discharging its
duties, but those whose hearts are in
the work of education; those who not
only can but ,ciit perform their whole
duty.
