"A very gratifying feature to the de-
positors and stockholders OF the Forest
County National Bank is shown in the
splendid statement of the insti ution as
published in this issue of the REPUBLI-
CAN. The totals foot up SIS, 5O4.2 20 over
the last statement made to the Comptrol-
Ter of the Currency about two months ago,
the whole amount of resources aggrega-
thug over half a million dollars. A pretty
solid institution, we should say.
There is promise that the harvest of
fatalities and seriou illness from mis-
taking toadstools for mushrooms and
serving them on the family table will be
fully up to the average crop this season,
as we note by some OF our exchanges that
the trouble has already begun. People
who have not a thorough knowledge of
the difference between the edible and the
poisonous varieties of this peculiar fun
gus should at least have the good sense to
restrain the other members of the fam
lily from eating them until they them
selves have first tried and found out the
difference. One sure rule is, if, after eat
ing a good gorge, you don't die, they are
mushrooms, hut if the undertaker's SER
vices are required then they are toad
stools.
Judge Lindsey of this district has de-
cided in a case before the court in Warren
county that the fact of whether or not
children have had smallpox is TO be de-
termined by a physician and not 10y the
school board. The decision was rem
dered in the case Of Mr.. and Mrs. Her
bert Cousins, residents of Warren, whose
children had been refused admittance to
the public schools by Superintendent
MACEDONIAN some time ago. A certificate
showing the children had smallpox was
presented from a physician who was
temporarily residing in Warren. The
board Of education questioned the We
racity of the certificate, and declined to
admit the children. A long legal tattle
ensued and a writ of mandamus was Sc
cured Tuesday compelling the board 10
admit the children TO the public schools.
