NEW READER ADOPTED.
School Beard Decides to Use Baldwin
Reader Instead McGuffey's.

The school board has decided to
use the Baldwin reader in the pub
lie schools of the city in the future
instead of the McGuffey, which has
been in use during the past thirty
or forty years. That theyiwere con-
templating some change was pub
lished in these columns several days
ago but the matter was only fully
decided yesterday.
The Baldwin is made by the Amer.
lean Book company and is in popu
lar favor all over the country. The
company agrees to take the Nc.
Guffey reader in exchange for the
Baldwin for 400 of their value. The
change to the new book will be
made gradually. For instance, when
a pupil completes his McGuffey' 6
third reader, he will pass INTO the
Baldwin fourth reader and SC
through the whole series. In this
way, thh change will be no hardship
on the parents who have to buy the
books The change will begin al
once.

How u PREACHER Gets His support.

For several months past our read
ers have observed that we have had
few marriage notices from our city
pastors. The facts are as follows.
The clerks of the county court say
that man, processing to be a
preacher, hangs around the court
house lobbies each day. from morn
ing to evening, hunting for wedding
parties. Before the candidates get
into the clerks office to secure their
licenses he tackles them and engages
the jobs. He IS not pastor of any
church here. 1t would be in order
for the court to revoke the authority
to marry held by any preacher who
will stand about the court halls,
month by mouth, aggressiveiy seek
ing weddings. We have never heard
of such case before. 1t is certainly
new occupation in this city
