Appointment of Assistant Teachers.

The State Board of education at
special meeting held at the State
Normal School last week, decided
the question of authority to APP
point assistant teachers in the
counties. The question at issue
was whether the power was vested
in the school board or the local
trustees of the schools. The State
board decided that the School Com
missioners had authority to appoint
all the assistant teachers. The
decision does not affect the practice
in this county, as the school board
has always made the appointments.

A WouldzBe Bride Rescued

Cupid's arrows have played sad
havoc in Rising Sun this week, and
joy and anger, smiles and tears
have each struggled for mastery,
but "lovelaughs at locksmiths" and
all opposition seems in fair way
to be overcome. During the pro-
tracted meetings held at Sylmar
recently Fate brought together Miss
Annie Sidwell and Mr.. q. d.
Grant. 1t was a case of love at
first sight and an introduction was
soon effected. Miss Sidwell, who
is mature maiden of - years,
has made her home with Wilson
Brown, near Sylmar, since her
childhood and Mr.. Grant, who is a
wiGower, lately moved from Colora
to Rising Sun where he holds the
position of Waterman at the railroad
crossing at Duyckinck & Co..
warehouse.
|. When the swain would a-wooing
go he found immediate opposition
in the person of the head of the
household where his lady fair was
domiciled and was ordered from the
premises with strict injunctions to
never return. Although not a
giant in stature the wouldb be groom
was not lacking in determination,
his ardent love supplying courage
where muscle was lacking, and he
not only returned but insisted on
an interview with his hearts desire.
Several clandestine interviews were
finally effected, but they were brief
and unsatisfactory and were rudely
interrupted. Mr.. Grant at this
stage interested in his behalf the
family with whom he boards and
through their agency the blushing
maiden was prevailed upon to make
them visit in Rising Sun. Within
forty eight hours the engagement
was announced and the trousseau
ordered from Mrs. Mahan.
Breakers were ahead, however,
for Mr.. Brown appeared on the
scene and took the lovesick lady
back home, announcing that all
bets were declared off, or in other
words that the deal would not go
through. This put the prospective
groom and his hackers on their
mettle and after securing the we'd
ding garments from the dressmaker,
to make sure they would be on hand
when needed, last Tuesday after
noon the now desperate groom
elect and his supporters drove
through the rain to Sylmar and
demanded the maiden who they
claimed was being kept away from
her intended against her will. AT
ter considerable parley all hands
drove tosSquire Hudson's at Hope
well, for legal advice. While under
going a heavy cross fire of question
ing Miss Sidwell's nerves gave way
and she tainted. A messenger was
sent to Oxford for a doctor who
after his arrival succeeded in reviv-
ing the lady after considerable
tronble. The controversy was final
ly concluded by the Rising Sun con-
tingent getting the fair maiden in
their team and starting for home
through the rain where they arrived
about 4:30 a. m. She is now recur-
ating from the shock caused by the
heart stirring events and terrible
ordeal and unless new complications
arise will set sail upon the matri-
monial sea at 2 p. IN. Wednesday,

BABY's SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

~ 9rdtSIuI WOtfSF writes TINS LetteF-
Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with Scrofua Sores.
"At the age of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external APP
plications that we could think or hear Of,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of his face. We consulted physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in a week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more anot her scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilia. / also took Hooa's
Sarsaparila, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign of those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine." MRS. S. S. WRoTEN, Farming
