r,rATEMENT OF RECEIPTS
AND
DISBURSEMENTS,
For Public School Purposes for the
Last School Year.

r II, Honorable, the Board Of County
S.1ool Commissioners Of Carroll county:
I. snbmitting for publication in the local
.nars according to the requirements of the
PloI PlPooI law. statement of the receipts and
%IyT EASEMENTS on account of the public schools
= ,Ss connty during the year which ended
81 81 INV, 1891 am pleased to note, as an
'r;dsnce of growing popular appreciation of
a, system, that the enrolment during the
s. was $50, and the average attendance was
5Ia 3Iaa more than in the preceding year. This
.I,be largest increase in one year the schools
have ever known.
Tho consequent increase in expenses, and
.La draft of s., 500 on the year S revenues
,,sde in the previous year and noticed in the
U.S., animal statement, threatened serious
"a,bsrrassment and the loss of half a term Of
sabool. which was happily averted by an
avtra allowance from the County Commis-
;oners and some temporary loans. The
i,.tsr could not all be paid within the year.
Uancs the statement shows an increase in
-,1r indebtedness of So, 600, large part of

in, an unpaid balance from the previous
rssr II Will be seen, however, that the
i,ok.lees were insufficient to pay the cost of
,ts hooks for the year by S267.S2. 1t is a
n,.tter of some concern that this unwelcome
condition is likely to continue. On the other
hand, the demand for new schoolhouses has
been so nearly supplied as to render it no
longer oppressive.
There are yet several to build as old ones
fall but the annual outlay required for this
purpOse can not again, for many years to
come. seriously embarrass the treasury.
Three were built during the year at total
cost of about 81 300.

Improvement among the teachers of the

Mr. Jos B. Boyle-Dear Sir: For many
years | have suffered intensely, on taking
cold, from very troublesome cough, for
which | have used a number of various reme-
dies, and obtained but temporary relief.
During the past spring l was again troubled
with the same cough, and through friend
was induced to try your Pectoral Syrup,
which not only gave almost instant relief, but
a permanent cure. Itgives me great pleasure
to say that believe it to be the best remedy
| ever used for the purpose for which it is
recommended. Hoping that any person
afflicted as | was may be fortunate enough TO
give it trial, | am truly yours,

The Postage stamp will be 81 years old in
May of next year Its inventor was
printer, james Chalmers, of Dundee, Scot
land, who died in 1858. England 50
years ago introduced the new system of
prepaying letter postage, and, according to
decree of December 21, 1889, issued the
first stamps, which were to be put before
the public on May 6 of the following year,
as noted above. A year later they were
introduced, in the United States and
Switzerland, and within three years had
become common in Bavaria, Belgium aud
France.
