Mountain was totally deserted, and one
half of it might be taken up by anybody
who thought the making of locations
thereon worth his while. Before the
summer had been fairly ushered in, how
ever, the celebrated Potts chamber had
begun to put forth its magnificent con.

THE NEW School LAw.-State School
Superintendent Young writes follows:
SIN my judgment we will get no official
opinion from our Attorney General on the
school law, he preferring, now that the
election takes place on the second Satur-
day in May, that the validity of this &C.
ton be tested in the courts. In conse-
quence of this position taken by the legal
adviser of the State, shall advise all
Boards of School Trustees to hold an
election for the full number of Trustees
required in each district, in conformity
with what seems to have been the inten-
ton of the legi lators; then to submit as
test cases in the Supreme Court for final
adjudication. The County Superintend.
ent of Schools recommends that each dis.
trict in Lincoln county elect three Trus.
tees to serve respectively for one, two
and three years, and further suggests that
wherever it can be consistently done, the
people elect the same Trustees that were
elected at the general election held No
vember 4, 1884. As soon as censns blanks
in conformity with the new shoot law
are received from the State Superintend.
ent, they will be distributed to the several
school districts of this county.
