that the 'sREPoRTER man" is getting
around on his temperance platform.
Law sakes, Jack, we've been temper
ance man who dared to talk plain Eng
fish, when other editors have been
afraid to peep. We've fought whisky
and never asked any odds of the enc

who have just closed their connection
with the State Register, one of the
ablest papers in the state, bid their
subscribers "good bye" in their last
issue The State Register started in
1861, and it is not too much to say
that it has been powerful and always
consistent journal in moulding public
opinion. and anchoring public senti-

We wish we could give our readers

tain deal of history that to the fra
ternity at least, is most valuable and
intensely interesting. We wish the
''boys'' an abundance Of good fortune

The School Board decided at
meeting he'd last Saturday, to close
the school at the close of the school
month ending about March 18th.
The board acted in accordance with
resolution passed at a meeting just
prior to the commencement oe the
school year, which, authorizes the
board to close the school when the
school monies shall become exhausted.
It was thought that the school could
be maintained for a period Of seven
months, and it was hoped that it might
be continued for a period of nine
months. The money has been expend-
ed in paying teacher wages, and but
little more can be expected to come IN
to the treasury. Already the district
is in debt anu to longer continue the
school would only involve the district,
consequently it was thought to be the
wisest course to close the school rather
than rescind the resolution, and in
crease the districts obligations. The
moral of the whole business is,
Pay your taxes If you desire to main
tain yom school. The board voted to
give the use Of the school building to
the several teachers. if they should SO
desire, for the purpose Of continuing
instruction in select schools in the sew
eral departments; the teachers to be
responsible for the good usage of the
rooms and furniture. Those non-resi-
dent pupils who have paid buttons
will have pro rata amounts refunded
them. We regret as much as any one
can that the board were obliged to
pursue this course, but it is wise, and
we hope it will be lasting lesson to
those who have been SO derelict in dis
charging their obligations to the dis
trict. Had all the taxes been paid in,
the school could have been continued
till June, it is, it will close in about
two weeks.
