OF for School.

Messrs, Robert Crockett and Pow
ell Royal left OH Tuesday for Wash
ington and Lee University. MIR.
Royal has made an efficient officer as
assistant postmaster, which position
he resigned in order To 60 To schp.,l.
We understand that an Increased sal.
AIRY was offered him to remain, but
wisely, we think, he decided to ga
to school. \ Dung men make grave
mistake if they fail TO secure an ed
ueation when the opportunity is af-
fOrded. In this connection we wish
to add, that there are other young
men in town who ought to 90 Ia
school this year. Some of them can
but wont, others would but caunot
because their fathers who are able
refuse TO give them the necessary
means. We commend Mr.. Crockett
iOr the interest he is taking in the
higher ecucation of hisboy. A finish
ed education, i'm first class school
is worth more to boy than the fin
est .bluegrass iarm in the county
could be, and costs mudh less. 1t is
n shame the way some people treat
their children in this respect.

Too Bad.

IL any proof were needed that the
laws providing for our poor are in
need of revision, the case Of poor old
Jackie Walden will supply it. He
was badly crippled months ago, and
the only help afforded him by the
rich county of Tazewell, of which he
was an honest and Industrious citi-
zen, was "iiYc dollars" given during
his lifetime, and "four dollars"
which is the munificent allowance
for the burial of pauper. The law
ii seems insists OH gathering all the
helpless poor into one miserable c0m-
munity Of indigents, where they cost
the taxpayers probably $500 II year.
The authorities are prohibited FROM
appropriating one. fourth or one.hult
this sum for their maintenance at
home and among such friends as they
have, and even the supervisors say
they have no discretion i'm such mat>
tiers. We again suggest that the high
sounding title Of The law be amended
20 rs to read, can act to amend an
act, entitled an act not to provide
for indigsnt citizens"
