Tom Kelley is bringing to light a
good many things on"The Other Side"
that have never found their way into
history. That raid of the women, for
example, told in his last letter, was in
the line of news We think to most of
our readers. Mr.. Kelley says it would
take columns to give a full description
of that riot, which in some Of its aspects
was one OF the most fearful sights he
saw during the war.
We desire to aid our endorsement
to the kind words spoken by the editor
pro tenn last week regarding G, E.
Merwin's election to the superintend-
ency of the Erie schools. Mr.. Merwin's
modesty is all that has prevented him
from being ranked among the foremost
educators of the State, and we are glad
that in spite of this draw back he has
gained a position which is in some de.
gree recognition of his ability.
The REGISTER notes with pride that
one of the orstorical prizes offered by
the Ottawa University was carried off
by an lola young lady, Miss Mary
HOrney, whose Grafton is very highly
spoken of by those who heard it. Miss
Horney graduated from the lola High
School in 1887, since which time che
has been student at Ottawa. She is
now at home for the summer vacation.
We notice by catalogue received
from the Ottawa University, that Mr..
VIM. Goodhue, of this city, has been
appointed trustee of that institution
to represent this part Of the State. Mr..
Goodhue is sagacious and prudent
business man as well as scholar and
will render valuable service to the
University. A better appointment
could not have been made.
