! county superintendent to Issue school
journals at their own expense. That
Official in Phillips county has gone
into the business, and a new one bObs
up now and then. Of what use a 10

that the individual superintendent
could produce. It seems like a waste
Of time and money for the county su-
perlntendent to dabble in journalism
when he is elected to perform other
duties.-ROOk8 County Record.

broke in the prison, took the criminal
out and hung him to a telegraph pole.

come desperate.
