dozen complete love stories, and each
has more important bearing in the

PROF. JAMES II. GEORGE, A. NJ.

A Tribute to His Memory. and Brief
Sketch of His Life.
The residents Of Odessa were greatly
shocked on Tuesday afternoon by the an
nouncement of the death of Prof. George,
Principal of the public schools of that town
and one of the most widely known instruc-
tors and promoters of liberal education in
the State of Delaware. Although his death
was not unexpected, yet his numerous
friends, throughout his lingering illness,
had hoped against hope, that he might be
spared to see the fruits of his earnest efforts
in the cause of education The school flag
floating mournfullyy at half mast, bore
evidence of the sad death of him who,
assisted by a liberal school board, has done
SO much to make the public schools of
Odessa what they are to-day.
James H. George A. NJ, was born at
Canterbury, Del, August 23d, 1886, and
after receiving the rudments of education
at the public schools Of Camden, he gra-
duated from Hoboken Academy, and i'm
mediately thereafter identified himself with
the cause of Public Education in his native
state, and has ever since gone steadily for
ward in his chosen vocation, on several
occasions refusing 'chairs" in prominent
institutions of learning. By nature adapted
to teaching, he early recognized the efficacy
of the Public School system and has bent
every energy toward its advancement He
was one of the originators of the State
Principals Associations and used every
effort to secure the appropriation of fund
for the establishment of colored schools,
A man Of broad mind and comprehensive
intellect, his loss will be felt throughout
the state. A wife and two children survive
him.
His funeral took place yesterday, at
Camden, Del, whittier the remains were
taken on the oil train.
The following resolutions were passed by
the pupils of the Odessa Public Schools,
signed by representative from every de-
partment:
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased Almighty God
i'm his infinite wisdom to remove from his
sphere of usefulness among US, our beloved
friend and teacher, Prof. James H. George,
and

in him kind and efficient instructor
whose greatest pleasure seemed to be in

The Law and Order Society in Whining

"The Law and Order Society wishes to

and fragrant forms of lawlessness.
"The chief, at the request of the law and

moval of the offensive pictures from the
widows. of tobacconists, displayed as adver-
tisements of q brand of tobacco and also
the suppression of the indecent pictures
which were sold with said tobacco.
