Prof. J. B. Scott was last Saturday
unanimously selected as superintendent of
the De Soto Public Schools at a salary Of
500 per month for a term of nine months.
During 4 residence in this county for
a period of six years, Prof. Scott has filled
the positions of principal of the Ironton and
Pilot Knob Public Schools, and for the past
two years has had charge of the Belleview
High School. In addition to these duties,
he has for four years held the office of School
Commissioner, and at various times during
vacation, has conducted Normal Schools for
the benefit of the teachers drought the
County. In all these capacities Pro. Scott
has shown himself an able educator and
thorough gentleman. We are pleased to
hear of his securing so important a charge
as the De Soto Schools and have every
reason to believe his retention will prove
eminentlv satisfactory to the management.
main at Believe lew until next summer and
he expects to retain his citizenship and Office
of School Commissioner until that time.
And now comes the st. Louis Court of
Appeals combining and conspiring with the
Supreme Court to that end, and again the
Hon. John G. Wear, Judge of 23d Judicial
Circuit, is set down on with dull thud.
His honor set himself up as blgg' man
than the Governor and more powerful than
the law, but now realizes his mistake. There
having occurred vacancy in the office Of
circuit clerk of Dunklin county, contrary to
law, John G. endeayored to permanently fill
the Office by his own appointment, by refus-
ing to act upon and approve the bond pre-
scented him by tbs Governors appointee.
And this for no reason other than that he
wished his own fugleman wrongfuliy to hold
the office belonging to another. The Coy
errors appointee applied to the Court of

act upon and approve his bond. After full
hearing, last week, the court ordered Wear
to act in the premises, and he will surren-
der; for, however unpleasant 1t may be, if
he does not obey the order made in this
he is liable to imprisonment for
of court.
