A late issue of the Ellsworth News
contained the following good words re-.
lating to Superintendent Mcguire OF
Mobiles county. ut goes without saying
that county Superintendent Mcguire has
Emade, the best official in this capacity
that Mobiles county ever had. He has
given his entire time and attention to
| school work and done great deal Of ex-
ira work. His whole aim has been to
elevate the schools Of the county and his
excellent work shows how we'll he has
succeeded. Although he is not pushing
himself for reelection, the News be-
lievee if the people are wise they will see
to it that he is elected for another term
at least. Politics should not be consid-
cred in this Office and as MI. Mcguire has
made an enviable record in school work
he should DO endorsed by all parties

m passing away without pain. Thomas
Furlong was the oldest member Of FAM
lily # four brothers and three sisters.
He was born in County Tipperary, Ire
land, in 1881, and was therefore 63 years
Of age at his death. He came to Mower
county in tho spring of 1859, and has re-
sided in this county since. The funeral
