Free Schools.

Mr. Editor,-As Winter has come. and
our boys are sitting around the FIRE Mt
home, we thought we would ask why il is
that we have no Free Schools in Brook
vile Township? Doubtless our honorable
Trustee will answer there is no money
Well, what is the reason there is none9
We undoubtedly ought to have money.
Within the last year We have had sixty
days school in our District, and sup
pose the same throughout the Township,
and yet we have no money for this Win
ter. While this is the case with as over
in Fairfield Township they have had dur
ing the year one hur dred and twenty days
school, and some money left in the treas
ury Gas one oil The Directors informed me-
and have money for schools this Winter
And so IL Is in other Townships. But in
Brookvlle, we must keep our children at
home. or after having paid our taxes for
School purposes. We must put our hands
in our pockets and pay for our Schooling.
There must be something wrong, and
We think il is time to see where the wrong
is. We thought matters bad enough un-
der Arches administration, but they
seem to get worse rather than better.
Last September our Trustee informed the
people that there would be no money this
Winter he wanted the Directors in the
different Districts TO take vote ut the
annual meetings in October whether we
would cmplov teachers as hetetolofe and
pay them wien We drew our money in
juno next, or whether we would do With
out Schools this Winter. 80 as to have
money to pay as We wentin the future.
| lie said that We would save twenty per
cent. by pursuing the latter course
suppose there Is no man who would
not admit that it would he better to have
the money TO pay our teachers ~ soon rs
due. But soe can't see the twenty per
cent. saved. In most Of our Schools
taught in tho Winter the money comes
due IN March, which would be about three
mouths before We get our school funds.
Now think that there could be any
amount Of Township orders cashcd for
less than Eve per cent, SO In our Dis.
triot We voted for u School % etfanl e
things happen about Btookyille somc-
times, aud "a bird Ia tie hand IL worth
two in the bush"
But We close, hoping that some one
who Is posted will let MS know Why II IL
that other Townships have Schools, while
We have noneg W ii. {.

Clerk Of the Supreme Court.

ID. I. Jackson, Of Jasper county, has
been named in connection with the Re-
publican nomination for Clerk Of the Su-
preme Court. His admirable fitness for
the place will be heavily reinforced by the
fact that the Congressional district from
which he halls has never had representa-.
tive on the State ticket. The friends Of
Mr.. Jackson In other parts Of the State
are moving ir this matter aud will urge
his claims before the Convention. lie has
many warm friends 10 this section who
will delight to honor the old war horse Of
Jasper Lafayette Courier. Dec. 18th.
Mr. jackson has been Clerk OF the Cir
cult and Common Pleas Courts in this
county for eleven years, first by appoint
ment and twice by election. The ADM
rable order and neat penmanship with
which he has done the work of his Office
- doing it himself--his strict attention
aud fidelity to all It's details, his knowl
edge of the routine of court business, the
ease aud consistency with which he applies
himself to It's duties, aud his strictly TEN.
perate habits, recommend him to the Clerk
ship OF the Supreme Court, no less than
his unwayering support Of the great pin
ciplos Of freedom that underlie the policy
Of the Republican party and have carried
il triumphuntly through the stormy strug
gle Of war and the difficult Legislation
which has succeeded in time Of peace.
We have no doubt this announcement
will meet hearty response from his
friends In this Congressional district,

usual for indictments to allege criminal in

the idea of Jenckes. He is an honest fanatic,
and proposes to have the trial conducted
