Qate large number OF subscriptions TO
THE CLARION expire this month, and, ac
cording to our invariable rule, the names
win be erased unless renewals are ordered.
We hope that we shall not be under the me-
cessity of erasing SINCE name. We have
recently had considerable accessions to our
subscription list. and trust that the good
work will go bravely on. The CLARION at
81 90 per year, is a necessity that cannot
well be dispensed with, and we trust that
gu pr sent subscribers, and many new

SCI o.s- should understand that the notice
Time OUT" on the margin is intended as
q friendly reminder rather than as dun.
Without exception. We discontinue the
paper when the time paid for expires. We
adopted the cash system two years ago,
when we reduced the price of subscription
from flre~ 20 two dollars per year.

this famous elixir, and its stimulating ba-

Defects of the Common School
Law.
From the Natcllez Democrat

FROM the NatcheZ Democrat.
There is one glaring defect in the pre-
sent common school law of the State, to
the correction of which the Legislature
should Immediately address its efforts.
We refer to that part of the law which
requires magistrates fines, liquor license
revenues and privilege tax revenues to be
sent from each county into the State
Common School Fund. In the year 1871
-72 the county of Adams paid into the
State fund in this way, considerably more
than twenty thousand dollars, and yet
when the distribution came to be made of
that fund to the counties, Adams county
received, as its share, only the pitiful
sum of about six thousand dollars, and
no distribution has been made since, al
though the law required one to be made
in May last Would it not be much bet
ter for this fund to be paid directly into
the school funds of the county,
