President VIM. y. DOak, of TuseHlun
College, for Sup't OF Public En-
stractiOR. ..-

stracti0n. .
Mr.. EDITOR: AS the name Of Qui'e
a number of very worthy and deserv =
ing gentlemen have been mentioned
in connection with tie office OF state
superintendent of public instruction,
I desire to add to the list the name OF
President VIM. s. Doak. of Tuscuium
College, Greene county, and cay word
in his behalf.
President Doak is grandson o. Rev.
Sam'l Doak, the pioneer of education
In Tennessee, who came to this county
about one hundred years ago and plant
ed the first school and the first church
in the state, and spent life of toll in
teaching the youth and spreading the
gospel here in the wilderness.
Rev. Sam'l w. Doak, son Of the pi-
oneer and father of President Doak
also spent a long and useful life In
teaching at Tuscuium college, where
President DOak is now lab0Ting; SO
that it will be seen that the Doaks have
been identified with the cause OF edu-
cation in Tennessee for whole centu>
ry! and they have done far more for
the education Of the youth in Tennes-
see than any other family in the en-
tire state! But during all these long
years not one of the Doaks, so far as
we are aware, has ever been hon0red
with any office. Would it not be en-
inently fitting. then, after having en-
gagged the lsbors of this family
for full century in the
cause uf education, to honor one OF
it's members by calling him to the
responsible position of superintendent
of public Instruction. Pa position that
he is in every way eminently qualified
to fill for President Doak has made
the subject of education a study for
years, and has devoted the best years
of his life to teaching, 80 that to day
he stands in the front ranks of our ed
ucators and we are not saying too
much, when we say that Gov. Haw-
kins could not recommend q more
worthy nor deserving man for the of
flee than President Doak. And We
trust that all those who have enjoyed
the tuition of any of the Doaks, will
show their gratitude by uniting IN the
request that his excellency will recon-
mend his appointment. X.

A great writer has said that "Stub-
born Audacity is the last refuge of
Guilt" which truth finds forcible il
lustration in the piraticsl fabricstions
which from time to time are gotten up
ia sell on the name and reputation of
Simmons Liver Regulator. A majors
ity of these parasites have died nat.
ural death, while in four instances
perpetual injunctions have been de-
creed by the courts for the protection
of the public and the suppression of
these frauds. But the fear Of exposure
and punishment does not prevent the
crimes of counterfeiting. When one
subterfuge is exposed and prohibited a
new fraudulent device is invented.
Therefore, beware of these deceptions,
and take only Simmons Liver Regu-

The interest felt in this community in
the proposed railroad from Wheeling to
thsConnelIsville coke regions, is assuming
something like organized shape. With 8
view Of iurtherinE the projects meeting of
iron men will be held this evening at {
o'clock at the Office Of the Riverside Com.
pany, on Main street. All the mills and
iron works Of the city are requested to
send representatives. The meeting is an
important one, although only initiatory in
its character, and 1t Is therefore desirable
that it be as fully and induentially con-
Gtituted as possible.
So far as we can hear, there is practical
y but one sentiment in our midst in re-
e gArd to the great desirability Of this
road. 1t is seen st glance to have the
germ Of large development OF wealth
and population in 1t. 1t means atpresent
rates Transportation, supposing that they
should simply put US on q par with Pitts
burgh, a saving Of 81 80 on every ton OF
i'on made hereabouts. This much may
be counted on to commence with, and
this means to a large furnace saving of
SiO 500 per day, and to smaller ones in
that proportion.
A.saVing OF this sort would permeate
n departments of the iron trade here,
Ind would stimulate 1! beyond any other
event in our local history. 1t would also
simulate very materially the interest felt
in reaching the ore fields Of the New
River region by way Of a river road to
Charleston, and would be the means Of
giving quickening impulse to all sorts Of
business in our midst.
Viewing this project in this light We
nope to see decided manifestation Of in
tetest At the meeting tonight.
