Schools are progressing nicely
this year. Some of them are later
than usual in beginning. Every
teacher in the county is employed
for this year and every school has a
teacher.
The course of study can be had at
any time by calling at the Office.
The Reading Circle books are
not here yet but will be in a few
days. The outline for our work
will then appear in both papers.
Quite a number of teachers called
for books the last two weeks. This
certainly shows they are interested
and doing every thing to advance.
Some of them are taking up extra
work with their school work in
order to raise their certificate.
District Clerks will please send in
notice oftheir employment of teacher
as soon as convenient.
Miss Ruth Bennett has a First
Grade certificate instead of a Sec
ond as stated in the News last week.

In our last weeks issue we made
an error in the wrlteup of our candi-
dates. We stated that Miss Ruth
Bennett, candidate for Superinten-
dent of Public Instruction, was the
holder of a second grade certificate.
This Is not true and we humbly ask
the pardon of our readers. She
holds FIRST grade certificate, one
of the best in the county. Miss Ben
nett has taught school for seven
years. She has held only one third
grade, then a second and one years
ago a First. We want our readers to
bear in mind that Miss Bennett
holds First Grade certificate and Is
qualified in every particular for the
position.

EDITOR NEws:-Will you allow
me space to give the County Com
missioners notice that in order to
have new law effective, there must
be pretence of repeating any pro-
visions of the old law that may be
in conflict with the new law, whether
there be any such conflicting pro-
visions or not2 If this is not done
the old law is in force and not the
new one. There was such a repeal
ing act in giving the County Treas
urer and the County Clerk each a
clerk, but the act appealed was in
regard to the County Treasurer only
and not the County Clerk. Hence
the old law is in force and the
County Clerk is not entitled to the
extra salary intended to be given
him by the new law. If the act
was repealed in the case of the
County Treasurer because it was
necessary, why was not the act re-
lating to the salary of the County
Clerk also repealed? Simply be-
cause the grafters' wax got too soft
and it was overlooked.

Twas very embarrassing to have her act
About those carnal potatoes;
So. ending his prayer, he started for
home
But as the door closed behind him he
heard a deep groan,
"Oh, give to the hungry potatoes"
And that groan followed him all the way
home,
In the midst of the night 1t haunted his
room,
"Oh, give to the hungry potatoes"
He could bear 1t no longer; arose and
dressed.
From his well-flled cellar taking In haste
bag of his best potatoes.
Again he went to the widows lone hut:
Her sleepless eyes she had not yet shut:
But there she sat in that old armchair.
With the same wan features, the same
sad air
And, entering in, he poured on the floor
bushel or more from his goodly store
or choicest potatoes.
The widows heart leaped up for joy:
Her face was haggared and wan no more.
Now said the deacon. shall we pray?''
Yes said the widow. now you may"
And he kneeled him down on the sanded
floor,
Where he had poured his goody store.
And such a prayer as the deacon prayed
No longer embarrassed but free and full.
He poured out the voice of a liberal soul:
And the widow responded aloud, Amen"
But said no more of potatoes
And would you who hear this simple tale
Pray for the poor and, praying, pre-
Then preface your prayer with aims and
good deeds.
Search out the poor. their wants and
their needs:
Pray for peace and grace and spiritual
food.
For wisdom and guidance, for all these
are good,
But don't forget the potatoes.

I'VE may learn good lesson from
our good friend the dog now and
then" said man who is always be-
friending members of the canine tribe
TO New Orleans Times-Democrat
writer, land we should remember the
fact at times when we are inclined TO
quarrel with some of the more worth
less members. Already we have
learned lesson in constancy of
friendship from the dog and men of
letters have scarcely praised the viz
tues of mankind more than they have
praised this virtuous attribute of the
dog. The dog is good friend to his
master, faithful companion who
shares his masters fortune whatever
it may be. No dog was ever known
to desert his master because fortune
or fate had shifted from the palace to
the howell, from afiluence to grinding
poverty. The dog will remain fast
when other friends higher In the scale
of animal development will desert and
pull away to where the pastures are
greener.

For days and for weeks her only fare,
As she sat there In her old armchair,
Had been potatoes.
Not one was left for the old lady's food

And she sighed and said. What shall 1

And she thought of the deacon over the

Whose cellar was full Of potatoes.
And she said, Il will send to the deacon
to come;
He'll not mind much to give me some
or such a store of potatoes"
And the deacon came over as fast as he
could,
Thinking to do the old lady some good.
But never for once Of potatoes;
And he asked her at once what was her
chief want;
And she. simple soul expecting a grant.
Immediately answered. Potatoes"

And at the end OF each prayer which he

Foolish Bother.

A controversy has been started in
England over the statement in death
notice that Mrs. Sturgeon entered
heaven at $3.50 this morning" The
vicar of Milton took exceptions to the
declaration and in the course of
sermon said it was absurd to suppose
that the spirit enters heaven at the
moment of death on earth. This has
brought out letters from many people
who side with the preacher or oppose
his view OF the case. No wonder Mr..
Chamberlain is alarmed. How can n
country whose inhabitants become ex-
cited over the mere experiences of the
soul after quitting this world expect
to retain It's commercial supremacy
