Our peaceful village was aroused on Irwin NJ. Curtiss, who was expelled from the pnblic grammar school by the school committee. The trial was held in the district court at Great Barring ton. Lawyer Collins appeared for the Town and Chss E. Hubbard, of Pitts field, for the defendant. The com- mittee endeavored to show that the boy was expelled for lack of room, but the teacher, Miss May Dudley, testified that there was a seat vacated by the Miller boy and showed her desire for the boy to occupy it. However, she was obliged to submit to the directions of the school com mittee. It was also shown that many children had been admitted from other schools together with an Indian from the Sioux reserve tion and boy from Hoosac Tunnel. Irwin M Curtiss is son of Edward w. Curtiss, who is heavy tax payer and a man who insists upon having his rights and only asks for fair treatment h the matter. We are sorry that such action has bean taken as it involves the town Tn an unnecessary expense and creates a hard feeling against our school com mittee. There were at least fifty of our tax payers who listened to the evidence and 1t was plain that their sympathies were with the boy. The decision was reserved for two weeks.
 The case is in form the prosecu. ton of young Curtiss for making a dis tarbance in school. The boy resides in the Plain district, but his father con. siders that the Centre district school is preferable to the Plain district school. The question involved is whether the residents of the town have the right to send their children to any school in town. ED. NEWS.

on Themselves.

Democrats of Maury Have Got Move
on Themselves.
Chairman Williamson is no quar-
ter horse. About a month ago he
opened the campaign in Maury at a
pretty lively pace, but he has kept
the clip and is going it yet, strong
and steady. He has called upon the
Democratic speakers and workers to
prove their faith by their works /;
and with rare unanimity and re-
markable enthusiasm, they have
answered the call. The camp fires
are burning brightly and will con-
tinue to burn until the polls close
next Tuesday. Nothing short of
four thousand votes in Maury will
satisfy this year,
To make assurance dOubly sure,
every Democrat must vote twice
that is, he must vote himself and
then vote somebody else. A great
many Democrats have promised
that they will do that. Won't you?
Resolve, that you will take the
pains and the time and the trouble,
sick or well, rain or shine, to vote
the straight Democratic ticket, and
to pursuade one other voter to do
likewise.
Col. Cox was here yesterday, just
from canvass through the lower
counties. He is perfectly satisfied
with the outlook wherever he has
been, but he says Maury is the best
organized county in the district.
Remember this, Democrats, the
larger the cote Mdury gives this gear,

COLUMBIA, Tenn, Oct. 28, '96.
TO the Democrats Of MduTy COUHty:
am informed by the State Demo
cratic Executive Committee that Re-
publicans are paying and are pre-
pared to pay all the poll taxes OF
their voters, and / am informed that
our local Republican leaders say
that it is true. 1t therefore behooves
YOU to make extraordinary efforts to
get the poll taxes paid before the
close of this week. Don't wait until
the day of the election as it may be
overlooked.
Attend to this so that our workers
will not be bothered with that ques-
ton, but can devote the whole OF
their time to the getting out and
voting of the Democrats at the polls
Be on your guard as to all sorts o!
tricks and devices on the day OF
election.
Let your Club be at the polls early
stay all day and watch everything.
See that no tickets are used except
those sent You by me.
There are good many cOlored
persons in the county who have not
been in the State and county long
enough to entitle them to vote. Also
quite a number who have been dis.
franchised by the courts. See thai
none of them are allowed to vote
and have any such promptly arrest
ed upon attempting to do so.
Permit no swapping, but vote the
ticket straight from top to bottom
Divide your district and assign a
committee to each division to see tC
the getting out of every Democratic
voter in the district. Rain or shine
sick or well, have every vote polled
