TIE Scnool.s.-The public schools
opened in this place Monday, under
favorable circumstances, aud with a
good attendance in each room. Mr..
Il. E. Mitchell, the Principal, was
present, as well as all the Assistants.
There has been some feeling mani
tested against the Beard for the en-
ploymentof Mr.. Mitchell. We think
their objections will not amount to
much when they come to know the
Principal. He is a young man Of
fine education, Of good morals, aud
besides experienced in teaching, and
as our people become acquainted
with him they will like him. 1t is
now the duty of every parent to sus-
tain the Board in their selections, by
sending their children to the school.
Remember, that in keeping your
children away, for petty spite, is on
ly to incur additional expense upon
yourselves, or to retard children in
their education.
REsIGNED.-Mr. I. D. Hoy having
resigned the Office of Sergeant of this
town, the Council on Saturday night
appointed Mr.. S. j. Blake to fill the
vacancy, and he gave bond and en-,
tered at once upon the duties Of the
office. During Mr.. Hoy's adminis.
tration he made most excellent Off
Ger, and his friends were sorry to see
him resign, but other business con.
temptations compelled him to do so.
