County Superintendent.

Prof w. B. Tharp, principal Of the Mid
dletown Public Schools, has announced
his candidacy for the county superin-
tendency of New Castle public schools. He
was candidate under Governor Marvil,
an independent and non-pa rtisan candi-
date, and the change of administrations
has not changed the basis of his candidacy.
He and and Gov. Watson are second
cousins, their grand fathers being brothers,
a relationship not near enough to prevent
his selection on account of nepotism.
Mr.. Tharp had the recommendation Of
many citizens of the county, among them
leading Democrats who are said to favor
his appointment still, and not a few teach
ers in the county hope for his success
Many friends here will urge his appoint
would be eommendable in many respects,
not the the least being to take the Office
out of the reach of partisan politics, as that
is the ground on which Mr.. Tharp rests his
application, based, of course on his train
ing as teacher and qualification as an
educator. The TRANSCRIPT recommends
him to the most favorable consideration Of
Governor Watson.
Mr.. Smith, of Delaware City Public
Schools, graduate of Delaware College
and gentleman favorabfy spoken Of, is
q candidate, it is said.
My Country Cousin.
The season has come when the hemmed-
in city lass seeks the quiet country home
cousin. How she enjoys the open air, the
bright sunshine, the early vegetables, the
sweet country butter, Aunt Matildas hot
rolls, and the other good things of Del
aware farm. And every body delights to
see her and her little brother enjoy the
blessings of a country life, but everybody
is interested in knowing who they are and
wondering if she really cares for Cousin
Jake or is it only a summer Irritation. The
latter is not public affair but the former
is, and the TRANSCRIPT will be pleased to
receive notice Of personals" social affairs,
large or small, and all items of local inter-
est. See that the TRANSCRIPT gets them.
Drop postal card giving the names, etc.
Country persons often wonder how the
city papers get possession of so many ''per-
sonals." They are left at the Office or sent
through the mails. The man or woman
going out of town, sees that proper notice
is made, and on their return call is often
made at the newspaper office on their way
home. Let the TRANSCRIPT have the news,
and all the country news.
