Schools Close To-Day, Friday {.

Schools close to-day friday, and, rs
usual, some are glad and some are mad.
Those of our teachers who plan to
leave the city for the holiday time are
very glad that the Board Of Education
decided at their meeting, "Wednesday,
to close tie Schools to-day, the 18th in
stead of next Friday, the 9th. Some
of the teachers who are preparing elab-
crate Christmas programs, fear that the
children will be disappointed in net be-
ing able to perform and entertain their
fond mammals, but We venture the opin-
ion that the average attendant will be
more than willing o forego the pleas
ure of speaking Ills piece in view of an
extra weeks holiday We think the
board acted wisely in making the rest
period two weeks long, as the weather
of the past few weeks has not been Of
that inyigorating kind which helps
the child to apply himself to his duties,
and consequently a languid, disinter-
ested, sickly, interest with a longing for
the vacation, has been noticeable in
many instances, which, when school re-
opens, We venture to say will have dis
appearel

-1Es lecture given by Prof. Free
man Saturday evening was attended by
the largest and most appreciatiye audi
ence ever sembled in Superior for a
similar entertainment, and we believe
il Is safe to say that no one was disap-
pointed. Mr.. Freeman's subject, SIN
War Time" would seem to many a
worn out topic, bat his graphic and
able descriptions clothed in original ex-
presslons and delivered III such a
mastertul manner, captured his audi
ence, and it may be tr,!thfCllv said his
description 81 Sherman's reaching the
sea was the strongest climax in the
lecture. The committee having the
series Of lectures in charge must feel
greatly encouraged with the success Of
the first Of the course.
We haze been reqnested to call at

80 children in the State public school

THE EPIDEMIC.

The fever is being gradually dis.
seminated over all that tract of coun
try bordering on the gulf including
the southern part of Alabama, Mis-.
sisslppi, Louisiana aud Texas Every
day oases are reported from new
focus, aud there is but little doubt
that, If the disease had made its APP
poArsnco earlier in the summer, aud
quarantine arrangements had been
as rudimeutary as they were in 1873,
that by this time almost every city
and town within the area subject
would have been affected. The char.
scter or the disease Is singularly slug.
gish, and curious feature of ii Is the
