DR.. j. r. Sanford, of Gown :
ton, was in Bolivar yesterday. DR..
Sanford is q candidate for the posi-
ton of assistant superintendent Of

one more suited for the place could
be found
"A teachers assoc citation in Har>
deman county would be a decided
advantage tor those who are mem
bers of that profession. To meet to-
gether and have discussions In re-
gard 10 the teaching of the different
branches of study, could result in
nothing but good for those who take
part. Besides Che intellectual ben
efits which would result from such
an Organization, the social faature
alone should commend it to our
teachers.
The public school directors for
the sixth civil district are to be con-
graduated. They have secured
the services of Miss Hattie Bell
Moseley as an assistant teacher,
and the school is now in better
condition than ever before. Miss
M oseley is an accomplished scholar
and an experien ced teacher from
Sumner county, and with the other
experienced educators employed in

day, and remarked that sit was a
shame that public road over which
there 10 90 much travel should be
allowed to get in the condition that
this leYee il, when a little work and
money will remedy it. It is actu-
ally a drawback to the town. PeO-
pie who would atherwIse come to
Bolivar actually refuse to do So. be-
cause they have to cross this levee.
This is a matter that should receive
immediate attention.
The case of Wright VS.. Tighe
has been compromised and settled.
The contention was between joint
owners of valuable sand mines near
Salisbury. Mr.. Wright sold out
his interest to Mr.. Tighe who will
continue the business OF mining and
shipping sand. The quality of the
sand Is remarkable. It is either
red or white and absolutely free
from vegetable matter, and makes
a plaster that is unsurpassed for
beauty and smoothness and which
never breaks or cracks. Salisbury
sand has become as much a mar
ketable commodity as lime or Gee
ment and all the builders in Mem>
phis and Chattanooga require it IN
erecting fine houses.

to the sheriff, who returned and
after searching HIM took from his
