Teachers. Attention.
The following circular has been received by
County superintendent Sheehan. 1t explains
itself:
ITO the County Superintendent:
The question OF examinations ut the close Of
county Institutes has been under consideration
by this department for some time past. Under
the ruling made one year ago applicants for
hrst-Eradec certificates were declared from EN-
tertng these irregular examinations for reasons
which were clearly expressed at that time. We
have learned OF Il few Instances In large coun.
ties where this ruling seemingly worked n hard
snip upon a lew teachers who were thereby re-
CURED to make long and more or less expensive
trips the second time in order 10 be present ut
the examination when. had they been permltted
to write on first grade work at the close Of the
institute. they would have been relieved Of this
burden OF expense and travel. To tighten this
burden upon teachers We have decided TO allow
applications for FIRST grade certificates to write
ut The close Of county institutes, but upon the
following conditions:
The county superintendent shall submit
questions to this Office at least three weeks prior
to the close of his institute upon such topics as
are included In the requirements for first grade
aud shall accompany the same with q copy Of
the outline OF work prepared for use In tile i'll
stitu'c Of his county for the present year.

BACK TAXES.

What the State Has Coming From
Union County.
The officials of this state some time
ago decided that accounts should be
opened up between the state treasurer
and auditor and the officials Of the
same position in the counties. TO get
at the exact standing of the amount
due the state, Tax Commissioner
Blanchard was given the duty to per-
form and he visited each county, and
by going over the books found out
what was due the state.
In the correspondence between
County Auditor Walsh and State Au-
ditor Nipple the fact was developed
that ex-County Treasurer Stickney
overpaid Union county's account by
$500 one year during his term of office.
There is due the state on back taxes
which have never been paid to the
county-$9O3. Is to the state general
fund $lO4.8 SO, to the state bond fund
and 1923 70 to the stock indemnity fund,
in all 81, O31 20. This amount carries
the standing Of the taxes up to Janu-
airy l, 1892. On the sum of 81 ,O3l. 20
there was an overpayment Of $500. SO,
to which there is an Offset Of $257.4
penalty and interest, leaving $249. SO
to be credited.
The 1892 account leaves a balance
| due the state Of $780, SO.
For 1893 Union county is charged up
by the state with the following
amount:
General fund :. s3,:s5 !6
BonO InleTtst. .-...,......... LIN 10
Deficiency fund 5,9e5 16
Special sinking fund ............... $50 q
On the above there has been 81, 956. 95
paid. So there is due the state the
following amounts:
Back tA> es previous to 80. ........... s7s2 20
Delinquent for w -. ...........,.. $50 81
Delinquent for % ................. 5.4Sl 00
OF course, it is understood that un-
less the taxes are collected the state
suffers the loss.

The following poem, entitled Grow

Of Louisville, KY, a member Of the
auxiliary missionary board of the
Episcopal church, and sent to Mrs. j.
V. Hines, to be read to her husband,
the venerable Father Hines, on his
Goth birthday, which will be on next

Softly. oh. softly the years have swept by thee,
Touching thee lightly with tenderest care;
Sorrow aud death they have often brought nigh
Yet have they left thee but beauty to wear
Growing old gracefully. gracefully fair.
Far from the storms that are lashing the ocean.
Nearer each day to the pleasant home light"
Far from the waves that are big with commo-
Under full sail and the harbor In sight
Growing old cheerfully, cheerful aid bright.
Past all the wind that were adverse and chilling,
Past all the islands that wooed thee to rest
Past all the currents that iured thee unwilling
Far from thy course to the land OF the biest -
Growing old peacefully, peaceful and blest.
Never a feeling Of envy or sorrow,
When the bright faces Of childen are seen,
Never = year from the young wouldst thou
Thou dost remember what lieth between.
Growing old willingly, thankful, serene.
Rich in experience that angels might covert,
Rich In a faith that has grown with thy years
Rich In a love that grew from and above ii.
Soothing thy SORROWS and hushing thy fears
Growing old wealthily, loving and dear.
Hearts at the sound OF thy coming are lightened,
Ready and willing thy hands to relieve;
Many Il face at their kind word has frightened,
1T is more blessed to give than receive"
Growing old happily. ceasing to grieve.
Eyes that are dim to the earth and its glory
Have a sweet ~recompense youth cannot know
Ears that are dull to the world and it's story
Drink in the songs that from Paradise Gov.
