Henry Jacobs, an eccentric citizen of
Lincoln, Nebraska, has what may be
called original mortuary ideas. The tomb
stone which he has recently erected to the
memory of his son, James Jacobs, who
died in 1891, is of white marble set on
sandstone base. 1t is cut in the exact
shape of an old fashioned travelling satch-
ell. Jacobs son was Of an unsettled dis
position, and travelled great deal The
old gentleman idea was to commemorate
the fact in the tombstone. On the plate,
carved in the center of each side of the
stone, is the name of j. S. Jacobs The
inscription above the name reads: "Here
Is Where He Stopped Last. :" Underneath
the name is the date of death ard age

have been silent in the press but busy
all the time. 1 have made two rounds
throughout the county. visiting each
school twice, both white and colored.
These visits have been pleasant and
profitable. Such kindness and hearty
hospitality wherever 1 have gone! A
wide awake officer makes for the County
more than travelling expenses by these
annual rounds. The Legislature has cut
off the pay for field work. This field
work is Invaluable. I wish I could i'm
press both trustees and patrons with the
valve to the schools OF frequent visits
from them. Children would study bet
ter, and teachers do better work because
Of such interest.
The school attendance is increasing
of more than two thousand over the year
before throughout the County.
Several new buildings have been erected
during the present term. A majority OF
the houses are comfortable, many of them
ceiled, painted and windows furnished
with blinds.
The increase Of the school tax from two
to three mills has been bonanza to our
book lowing children. This tax is a
permanent investment In brains. which
every parent should be glad to make.
The poll tax is about equal to one mill
levy, hence the term is one fourth larger
than heretofore.
With few exceptions the teachers have
done we'll, and we'll deserve the pay they
receive.
Comparisons are odious, therefore
desist from making mention of schools
and terchers severally. Many of them
deserve special mention.
A few of our brothers in black merit
good pay, but the most Of them do inferior
work Where there is no demand for nor
supply of superior talent compensation
should be moderate. This is receiving
our careful attention. The pay roll this
year verifies this view
The increasing interest in education Is
noted with pleasure. How long to see
in every district school like the Broyles.
Lebanon, Hopewill and Concrete schools.
Mr. p. II. Brown is leading in such an
effort at Trinity.

mites would hasten their establishment.
