w. D. Lane, of Kirwin township, we
understand is a candidate for the Office
of Superintendent of Public Instruction
for this county subject to The decision
of the Republican convention.
AIR. Lane is q yOung man of good
abilities and a teacher of considerable
experience. His family are perhaps
the most earnestly interested in educa-
tiOnal matters of any in our C unity,
some six of them being actively en-
gagged in school work, one of his sisters
being engaged by the Philllpsburg
schools as teacher in the primary de-
partment for the next term. Mr.. Lane
will we have no doubt, if elected be
| a good officer, and were it not that
we believe J. 81. Young ought to and
will be the next county uperinteudent,
we could support Mr.. Lane without
doing violence to our convictions of
/ what might under some circumstances
be eminently proper, and should any
thing transpire to interfere with Mr..
Young's candidacy we could heartily
support Mr.. Lane for the position he
seeks
