Nous avons Gu le plaisir, avant.
hier, de recevoir Ia visite du surin.

que, M. Charles e. Gendron. II
jouit dune excellente sante ct Ton
dirait meme quill rajeuni. Cest
signe qu'il supporte aisemeut le
fardeau de Ia surintendance.
NJ. Gendron faisait une tournee
d'inspection des ecoles quand il a
Gu Ia gracieusete de venir nous SER
rer la main en- passant. II est en-
chante des progress qu'ont fait les
ecoles cette aimee. D'abord, cha
cune d'elles w augmenter consi-
derablement le nombre des eleves,
dams plusieurs ce nombre est deve-
nu trop grand pour que finstitu-
: teur puisse s'occuper CONNIE il con-
Went de tous les enfants. Et puis
il n y pas touiours la place voulue
pour accommoder tous les enfants
Les directeurs se yerront done for
ces ou d'augmenter le nombre des
scoles ou de nommer des institu-
teurs supplementaires.
A ce fait encourageant de paug-
mentation des ecoliers, remarqua-
BILE dams les ecoles de couleur COM
me dams les ecoles blanches, s'ajou-
te celui des progress accomplis. Les
precepteurs se donnent beaucoup
de peine pour enseigner ct beau
coup believes font de grands efforts
pour apprendre.
Les resources don't dispose 10 |
commission des ecoles cette annee
sont plus abondantes que d'ordinai-
re. ce qui s'explique en- partie par
la forte balance de Fan dernier. |
Cependant ces fonds ne sont pas |
assez gros pour autoriser Ia COM
mission 1 entreprendre de tenir |
ouvertes les ecoles toute lannee. II |
faudra les fermer vers septembre /
CONNIE d'ordinaire.
a ce propos. on nous demande |
souyent pourquoi. an rebours de
toutes les ecoles, les ecoles publ
ques de cette paroisse sont tenues
ouvertes pendant rete ct fermees
en- hiver. C'est pafce qu'elles sont
trop pauvres pour faire CONNIE les
autres. Files ne peuvent exister
que pendant six on sept mois de
l'ann6e. Pour les. tenir ouvertes
en- hiser. il faudrait des caloriferes,
du combustible, etc, ct 90 serait
Ires codteux. II faut commencer

description of the and is Inserted en-
trary to the intent of the parties, a
court of chancery has poyer to correct
the mistake upon clear PROOF of the
| fact, and in so doing the intent and
policy of uor laws IN reference to
alienation of real estate by married
women are not cOntravened. Causing
the true description to be read into the
deed neither makes a new conveyance
nor changes an old one; it simply
makes the conveyance effective by ap-
plying it to the property intended to
| be included.
3. A recital in a mortgage that it is
second to one executed to a third
party on a prior date is binding upon
a mortgage who accepts it, and where
a mutual mistake was made in the de-
scription of the property in the first
mortgage it may be corrected without
injustice to the mortgage in the
second. Decree affirmed in part; re-
versed in part. B. NJ. Miller, for ap-
pellant; Isaac A. Stewart with whom

1. The remedy of mandamus can not
be employed to accomplish a useless
purpose, and courts should not pro-
ceed with a cause in such proceedings
which involves only rights that have
ceased to exist.
z. A license tax, as tax, cOnferS no
right upon the party whose duty it is
to pay it; it simply lays a burden upon
an occupation and creates the duty to
pay it, and an ordinance that imposes
such a tax does not create any con-
tract right
8. The ordinance of the city of
Tampa, passed September 2S, 1906,
numbered 245, and Oct0her /, fg0t.
numbered 246,do not embrace a scheme
to impose double license taxes for the
same fiscal year.
A.. The right to pass an ordinance
includes the power to repeal or modify
1t, provided no rights secured by con-
StltutiOnal provision are thereby ViO-
lated.
5. A party to cause should not be
permitted to assume in argument in
consistent and contradictory positions.
6. 1t would be useless to consider
an objection to a privilege license Or
dlnance, construed distributively, on
the ground that the amount required
to be paid by the party Objecting was
unreasonable, when no benefit would
result to him in the maintenance of his
cause if such objection should be sus-
tained. Judgment reversed. Hugh C..
Macfarlane, Thomas NJ. ShacklefOrd
and James F. Glen, for plaintiff in
error; Sparkman & Carter and P. O..

OBITUAXY.

Died, at the residence, of Mr.. G.. w.
Rhodes, in Leon county, Dec 4th, 1901,
Grady Rigells, aged % years, IL months
and Z days. Grady came to this county
from the State of Alabama ABOUT three
years ago. Since that time he has
lived here and made many friends,
both young and old; he was a young
man of business, faithful to his duties,
honest and truthful to his employers.
He was in the employ of Mr. Rhodes
'On his farm at the time of his death.
Mr.. Rhodes was not uneasy in the
least when he left his home; he en-
trusted his family to Grady's care, his
stock, his business, and always found
in Grady truth, honesty and faithful
ness. By these traits Mr.. Rhodes AID
family had learned to love him: lie
lived as one of the family and was
treated as such.
During his illness there was nothing
spared that could be done for him. He
was given all attention that human
hands and medical skill could render.
But, alaSi he has gone from us. I'm
diertaker ROzear took the bodj in
charge and expressed it to Hal tfor,L
Alabama, where he has relatives, as he
had no relatives here. He had many
friends who stood around to give
@sistance and watched and waited to
the end But there was one who
watched and waited around the bed of
the loved one more anxiously than all.
That one was a bright, sweet maiden
VINO, in few days more would have
been his bride But Gods will be
done.
