Resolutions of Respect.

The ladies Of the Monday Evening Club held
a called meeting at the residence of Mrs. E. 7.
Hart on Tuesday, Goth inst. to draft suitable
resolutions to the memory of MRS. G. D. FRI
BERG, who, from the organization of the Club,
had been a most efficient member. she was q
charter member Of the Club and it's 4th vice
president, having retired from that office on
December 18th, 1895.
In all the relations of life she was faithful
and earnest, and an indefatigable worker in
anthing that would tend to uplift humanity.
When the Club undertook the organization and
work OF the public library she entered into the
work with all her heart and to her the honor is
largely due for whatever success attended the
effort The ladies feel that their loss is almost
irreparable and that her place will never be
filled.
After many expressions of sympathy for the
afflicted family the Club adopted the following
resolutions:

providence, seen fit to remove from our midst

is her gain.
Resolved (2), That we recognized in her a
woman OF more than ordinary force of charac-
ter and one who possessed an unusually bright
and sunny disposition endearing her to all with
whom she came in contact.
Resolved (3), That we tender our sincere SYM
pathy TO the bereaved family, realizing how
frail is human sympathy at such q time and
how far short it is of reaching the deep wounds
of the heart, which the loving touch of Christ
alone can heal.

A GOOD REPORT FROM AN OLD FRIEND.

A GOOD REPORT FROM AN OLD FRIEND.
The Daily Leader of Elizabeth, N.
j., issued splendid industrial edition
on Dec. 81 and it was one of the best
things of the kind to reach this Office.
In speaking of the suburban Elec-
trio Company the paper had this to say
of Mr.. E. H. Stevens who was for three
years general Manager of the Watauga
Lighting and Power Company and
Superintendent of the johnson City
and Carnegie Street Railway Company
of this place;
"Mr. Stevens, who is the Secretary
and General Manager, has by his agree
able manner of treating patrons made
friends and today they are legion.
The present officers of the company
have filled their positions since its for
nation, with the exception of Mr.. Ste
vens, who has been in Office for fifteen
months, managing the business of the
company in a careful, conservative
manner, which is bound to reward his
efforts with unbounded success"
Mr.. Stevens, it seems, is still the same
sensible, good hearted, thorough going
business man that he was when he en-
deared himself to the citizens of this
city.

Mr.. J. II. Dye, having on his part
made several statements in the papers
concerning the charge made against
my daughter, Mrs. Bell Dayis, accus-
ing her of stealing some money on
Jan. 10th from man named Williams,
l herewith give the facts to the public
as they took place. On Sunday, Jan.
10th, in the afternoon, Mr.. Dye met my
daughter and Miss Maggie Howell on
the Street and accused both of them of
having stolen the money and said he
placed them under arrest and demand
ed that they should 90 with him to be
licked up, claiming he had u warrant
for them. They demanded to see the
warrant and he then admitted that ne
had none, but said they would have TO
go with him any way. They resisted,
but by force he compelled them to 90,
using Mrs. Davis very roughly. He
took them as far as the union depot,
when he let them go. On Monday
morning he filed complaint before
Squire Hart against Mrs. Davis, but
did not have her arrested. On Wednes
day she Voluntarily appeared before
the Justice and plead not guilty to the
charge and the case was set for trla
Monday, the 18th, at p. IN. Mr.. Dye
did not come to the 'Squire's office any
more that week, although word was
sent him TO come. On Monday sub
poena was issued for him, but he did
not appear Mrs. Davis appeared al
the appointed hour with her witnesses
ready for trial, but neither Mr.. Dye
nor any other witness on the part OF
the State appeared against her and the
Court discharged her. She was ready
for trial and was anxious TO have the
case heard, feeling confident that moth
ing could be proven against her. On
Sunday Mr.. Dye attempted to arrest
them without any complaint having
been filed by anyone and without a
warrant. s. Z. CUTsHAw.

To THE EDITOR OF THE LEADER:
Your interest in public affairs leads
us to believe that you will give public
ity through your columns to the fol-
lowing statements. No one longer
doubts that Marietta is growing
Were there no material evidences of
this, the enrolment in the public
schools would verify it. Within five
years, the enrolment has increased
from fifteen hundred to two thousand
This rapid increase has presented some
very serious problems to the Board of
Education and the teachers. The
Board has put forth every possible ef-
fort to provide school-rooms and teach
ers for the additional pupils. The
teachers have suffered many disad-
yantages and haye made many sacri-
fees to maintain the high standard of
work which characterizes the Marietta
schools. The pupils themselves have
cheerfully borne many Inconvenience,
being transferred from one building to
another. Some new buildings have
been erected and some additions built.
But, in spite of all the efforts put forth
by all the educational forces, the steady
increase threatens the standard of the
schools at the present time. We are
now conducting four double grade
schools. In one school, there are two
teachers. Several schools enroll more
than sixty pupils, while two schools
enroll seyenty-fve pupils each One
school is divided, the boys coming in
the morning and the girls in the after
noon. Two schools are crowded into
rented rooms with no ventilation, low
ceilings, poor light and heated by gas
radiators.
But the worst condition of affairs is
found in the High School Building,
where one hundred and eighty-five
pupils are crowded into a building
which would seem crowded with one
hundred and twenty-five pupils. The
members of the senior class are permit
ted to enter recitations but are not
furnished with study desks, They sit
trying to do their work subject 20 all
the annoyances which these places
afford.
The Board of Education, recognizing
the large Indebtedness of the city, has !
hesitated to take any step which will |
increase the burden. For more than a
year they have been shifting about /
and devising ways and means to avoid !
the move they are now making. But, !
as there will be two hundred and !
twenty-five pupils, at least, admitted |
to the High School next year, it seems ,
wise to submit the matter OF relief to .
the supreme power, the people,
We regret the necessity of exposing
some of our needs to other cities; but |
we do it with the confidence that our
citizens will not allow the interests of
our school system to suffer.
This communication is submitted on
the ADVICE of the Board.
