to sacrifice himself on the altar OF
his country on the pavement ques-
ton, tho the election Is but two

Teachers in the sixth ward
(Chicot district) have been noti-
fied to close their schools on next
Saturday, Feb. %, as the funds for
that ward will have been exhaust
ed on that day. The shortness of
the term I'm that ward is caused by
having too many schools in opera
tion. While the attendance at
every school is always large, the
ward is too poor to maintain them
longer than the short term Of three
months and three weeks. It is the
only ward with so short term.
