Carl Murner, Chairman of Lisbor
No. 10, recently passed through his
Gathsemena in the loss of his devoted
wife. Here's a hand Of sympathy
and a fond wish that God may sc
guide his latter days that the two
may be reunited in the haven OF
eternal peace.

The time for the county graduates
essays has to be on file has expired.
The same thing is true of the school
census.
Misses Mae and Minnie Lewis are
taking the Reading Circle examina-
tion for 1900. They have now COM
pleted four years work and will,
therefore, be granted their diplomas
which will exempt them from further
examinations in didactics.

ter making a brief visit with friends

Saturday.
Miss Lora Oathout has completed
her eight months term of school at
Verdon, S. Oak. She has been unan-
imously offered the school again for
another year. In a recent commune
cation she says: "The board, too,
was one Of the most agreeable I have
ever dealt with. They painted the
schoolroom on the inside and got me
everything I desired"
The last Legislature changed every
chapter in the school law but one.
Each clerk IN the county should pro-
cure a copy Of the new laws at once
and familiariZe themselves with their
duties. They a be secured at the

The Mt. Vernon schools will close
this week. Last Friday evening the
grammar ..and primary departments
gave an entertainment which was a
splendid success. The drill work
was exceptionally fine and spoke VOL
umes in favor of the teachers. At
the conclusion of the program Miss
Gertrude Bromwell, who has had
charge Of the grammar department
for the past year, made a few re-
marks in which she thanked the
patrons for their loyal support during
the year, and then announced that
she was not an applicant for re-elec-
ton. Der parents have traded their
farm neal Mt. Vernon for a hardware
store at Tyndall, and she will soon
accompany them to that place. Miss
Rernice Brown, the efficient primary
instructor vas reelected for the third
time. This is the highest en- lorse-
ment the school board could possibly
give her work. The graduating class
from their high school will consist of
six members instead of five, as prev
ously announced in this column-the
name OF Clarence Pine having been
added to the list. They will hold
their commencement exercises Friday
night of this week. Each of them
will deliver a scholarly oraticn, and
the program will be we'll seasoned
with music. The board of education
held their regular meeting last Fri.
day evening and at the earnest solicit
tatiOn Of Prof. Browne adopted the
high school course Of study framed
recently at Canton by the leading ed
ucatorS Of the state. This will give
the Mt. Vernon schools an eleven
year course and will necessitate the
establishment of an additional de-
partment to the school, with an in
termediate teacher making four
teachers instead of three. The other
two teachers will in all probability be
employed this week.
