Let's get up n crowd and go over and have jolly time.
 Prom the Clarksville Forum we clip the following:
 We regret very much that it has be- come our duty to say that Prof. Row land Doggett has resigned the position ], of principal in the Clarksville High School. The Prof. has so far given entire satisfaction to the patrons of this school, at least we hear of no complaint. Many of our citizehs regret that he leaves us, for his place cannot be filled easily in the school room. He is sys- temajc practical educator. He goes to Russellylle where he has been engag- ed, and some of his pupils at this place will go with him. We congratulate our sister city of Pope county on her good fortune in securing so good citizen. Although we are very 10th indeed to part with Prof. Doggett, we wish him every success, in his Eew field of opera tion and usefulness.
 PERSONAL MENTION.
