SUPERINTENDENT WAGERs SUSTAINED

The Paragraph states the case so
well, and the compliment to Prof. Wag-
ers is so deserved, that We copy the
Paragraphs statement of the vex-
atious trustee question:
TN view of the fact that the legisla-
ture Of 1898 changed the time of elect
ing school trustees from June till Octo-
Der, and that great many trustees
think they terminated their term Of Of
flee and were released from the respon-
sibilities of same as soon as his success
scr was elected, there has been some
confusion as to the expiration of their
terms. Mr.. Wagers says the new law
provides that the trustee elected shall
hold his Office for three years from the
first Of july succeeding his election.
Therefore, by reason of change in the
law and in order that there may not be
a vacancy in the board, each trustee
elected under the old law must hold one
year longer than he was elected for
And it is the duty of the trustee who
has acted as chairman during the
present scholastic year to so continue
till first of July, 1899. Mr.. Wagers' pO-
sition has been sustained by the court
of appeals. A case involving this ques
ton came up from Wolf county and
covers the decision of Mr.. Wagers, tC

Confederate Decoration Day, Saturday May
27th. 1899.

To Confederate Veterans, Daughters
of COnfederacy and Sons of Confederate
Veterans:
The 4th Saturday in May is hereby
set apart as decoration day. We hope,
as in the past, that it will be your
pleasure to meet and scatter flowers up
on the graves of the gallant men who
gave their lives to the cause they loved
so well.
1t is said that General Hunter. on
June 18th, 1864, when his forces were
evacuting the town of Lexington, in
passing by the Cemetery wherein the
remains of the renowned Gen. Stone
wall Jackson were buried, ordered the
panels of the fences removed, and the
Federal Army marched by the grave
of that gallant Confederate General
with reversed arms and otherwise
honored the valiant dead. If such a
tribute could be paid during the heat
ed period of war by a Federal Army to
a foe-how much more lovingly can
we gather flowers, fresh with the morn
ing dew, and scatter them upon the
graves of our loved ones.
Then, to all who recognize unsullied
worth, christian fortitnde, bravery on
field of battle; loyal to true soldierly
impulse and real manhooc-cOme with
us and do honor to the memory of our
Confederate dead.
