In our notice of the new officers in the
Court House last week, we unaccountabiy
omitted the name of that faithful old officer
and good friend Captain E. Cowan, the School
Commissioner, who has served this people so
efficiently In the years that are past, that
they have repeatedly reelected him TO the
office which he now holds. It was through
his efforts that the children now enjoy double
the length OF school term. There are no
counties In the State which gives :as many
schools and give Jas long terms as Captain
