On one occasion she is said to have struck a

that boys smartisg from punishment, and pa
rents unduly excited, are not always reli abba

the teacher cannot govern her department

she shonld make room for enc who can. If,

Memphis, winds up as follows:
"Strangers are astonished at the
wonderful resources Of Memphis. All
that has heen accomplished was by
close economy. Memphis has the sim.
plcst municipal government in the

eat her up, brighten away merchants by
heavy taxes. Having been resolved in,
to the county, Memphis is governed by
Il board Of directors, who manage ner As
they would their banks or groceries. If
there is no money in the treasury debts
are unpaid until it gets there in the reg,

the president Of the beard borrowed any
money to finish Il street, or build II
bridge, he would be personally respon-
sibIc for the money and not the district
Of Memphis. Nor can the board use
one debt to pay another. If they pay
the police with the sewerage fund, they
are perfectly responsible together with
their bondsmcn Taxes are onl y two
dollars and fifteen cents per one hundred
dollars and will, after the sewers have
been laid, be reduced one dollar. No
wirc-working politicians have been able
to feather their nest in the district gov
