The Jefferson county boys who had
intended to go to the KlOndike gold
fields this spring have abandoned the
idea for awhile, in view of the bad re-

Mr.. a. S. Lind, our genial and
practical laundryman, who carries the
honors of starting the first laundry in
this place, and being instrumental in
the establishment Of the present fine
steam laundry that we now have,
owned and managed by Mr.. Ranck,
left on Wednesday last for Shepherds
town, w. Va, where he will start
another hand laundry and manage it
himself. We are sorry to lose Mr.

intelligent gentleman and thoroughly
understands his business, and we wish
him every success in his new home,
and feel assured that our loss is Shep-
herdstOwns gain and the people Of

We have recently heard Mr.. Jesse
A. Engls, the efficient teacher of the
public school at Dufhelds, spoken Of as
a candidate for superintendent of
schools for Jefferson county. We think
this honor could fall upon no worthier
man than Mr.. Engle. Hs has been
for years one of the leading educators
of this county, and his practical knowl
edge of the subject and his personal
worth and ability should make him an
ideal county superintendent. No one
has better reputation as instructor
of the young, and his popularity among
his fellow teachers shows how well he
is regarded. He is progressive yet
conservative, and earnest and enthusi-
astic without being impractical. The
present superintendent, Mr.. Neel, has
done much to elevate the schools in
this county, and we are sure Mr.. En-
gle would carry on the good work most
