Superintendent begs leave Domake am
earnest and conscientious appeal to
the voters of the county not TO make
any change in the school clerks in
any district unless for tremendous
reasons He has put his whole soul,
and being into his work, and has
spent many long tedious hours ex-
planning the difficult features of the
present school law to the various
clerks throughout the comfy, ana he
now feels justified in asking the
voters of the county to Lay aside pol
litical and secfarian differences and
mot undo what the superintendent
has already accomplished merely for
the purpose of satisfying seme pol
titical grudge. Voters, the interest
lof u schools should be paramount
to all else Act wisely.
