The reelection Of Prof. IT, A. Snyder,
Of this town. as County superintendent Of
Public Schools, is complete vindication
Of the yituperaiion and abuss heaped upon
him by the opposition during the canyass
for the Office. IL is not likely that the
schools would have been particularly bene-
fitted by the election Of either Of the other
candidates seeking the Office. The ADvo.
CATE, always champion Of the public
schools, believes the directors haYe con-
clusvelY settled tho "smudge" campaign
Of abuse. Hereafter let the fight be on the
line of merit.

swindler who writes out receipt for
samples left for trial. and in 50 doing

the words above the signature have faded,
he fills in promisory note for whatever
amount he thinks desirable.

honses In this town, we refer TO tle enter
prising Opera House Store, run by +. g.
