HfqhIand Teacher Get a Raise
Important rieeting of County
School Board

On Wednesday evening meet
ing of the county school board was
held at Monterey, presided over by
il Jones. county superintendent.
H H Seyb DR. | H Trimble
and H F Slaven, trustees of Mont
erey district; Il A Wade, ii Ii Sla.
ven and J + McNulty, trustees OF
Blue Grass district and 5 Z Eagle
trustee of Stonewall district were
present.
All district trustees present re-
qualified before Supt. Jones, it APP
pearing that their qualification in
tie circuit court was not legal.
Fl F Slaven was elected secretary
of the county board, and DIR ii
Trimble was elected vice president.
The question of fixing salaries of
public school teachers for the COM
ing year was considered, and on
motion of H II Slaven, which was
carried unanimously. the salary of
first grade teachers was increased
from $50 to $50 per month, and
the salary Of second grade teachers
was increased from SIS to 500 per
month.
1t was ordered that all teachers
expecting to teach i'll the Public
schools Of the county, be required
to attend the public examination,
and the county Supt. is instructed
that no private examinations shall
be held.
The following resolution, offered
by E A Wade. was adopted:
"Resolved that the county school
board hereby request the state
school board, through our county
superintendent. that where two or
more schools can not be merged to
make a legal average, that each dis
trict board in Highland county be
allowed to open and run these
schools with an enrolment of 10.
and an average of II scholars, if
they think it wise"
It was the opinion of the board
shat. all other things being equal,
in the granting of certificates
those having attended the Mellow
ell or some other normal should be
favored. AS better price will be
paid teachers a better service will
be required.

The Board of Supervisors

At the meeting of the board on
the 18th inst. expenses of the cleo
ton neld on the Sd of November,
last. for judges, clerks, poll carriers
commissioners of election and cleo
toral board we're allowed, and for
the entire county, amounted to
$1,000.
Joseph A Ilimer, Supt. of the S.

500 or so much thereof as is nee
essary, on the road east of Monte.
rev, in opening water breaks and
in keeping. the road otherwise, in
good order. As the road is how
in fine shape it is the idea Of the
board to expend as little money as
possible on it until the debt against
il can be paid off.

DR. Buckle Exonerated

"wednesday night the Elders of
the Presbyterian church of Eliza
beth New Jersey, after examining
into the charges against Rev DR.
George Buckle, exonerated him.
Their action was followed by loud
cheering on the part of the con-
gregation which refused to accept
his resignation"
The above we clip from the
Staunton Disptach, no reason APP
pearing for such action on the part
Of DR. Buckles congregation.
On the Buckle case a recent issue
of the New York American reports
the following:
Wildly cheered by almost a
thousand elders and laymen during
an extraordinary meeting last night
in the Graystone Presbyterian
church at Elizabeth, the Rev DR.
George Buckle was exonerated of
he charge of haying attempted to
strange and smother his invalid
wife a month ago while she lay
sleeping in The parsonage adjoin-
ing the church.
DR. Buckle was not present to
witness his triumph. He awaited
the tidings at the residence of one
of his Pensioners. When apprised
of the result of the meeting he ex-
claimed devoutly:
Thank God for this vindication.
| did not believe that my cOngre-
cation would adjudge me guilty of
the terrible crime charged against
me. That my poor wife was so
halucinated us to imagine an at
tempt being made Oil her life was a
terrible mistake. She has, how.
ever. become convinced Of her error.
and | believe, will join me in thank
ing God for this good news"
Following the ballot the vote of
exoneration was made unanimous
in one of the most amazing scenes
ever witnessed in II church. All
sense of decorum was lost. Hats.
canes and umbrellas were thrown
in the air, while special delega-
ton hurried away to inform the
pastor of the vote.
On the evening of April 10Th,
after he had ofiiciated at the marri-
age of their eldest daughter, to Ru-
fus Stuart Adams, a wealthy resi-
dent of Montclair, it was charged
by Mrs Buckle that her pastor
husband awoke her by placing il
heavy towel over her face and she
declared, striving desperately to
smother her.
Mother and daughter corroborat-
ed each other in saying that DIR.
Buckle. hearing that a warrant for
his arrest had been applied for, fled
to this city. with several thousand
dollars in securities taken from
the parsonage.
DR. Buckle .afterward returned a
portion of the money to his wife,
with a note saying that he was 60
ing away to hazard new fortunes.
He, however, returned to Elizabeth
two weeks ago"

A Long Felt Want to Be Supplied

Something that has been greatly
needed by the Baltimore Confer
ence of the M. K. Church, South,
is church paper published exclu-
slyelv in the interests of that con-
ference, aud That want is now
about to be supplied.
A joint stock company, under
direction of the last annual confer
ence, has been formed, and has
issued stock to the amount of So
COO to establish the plant, which
will be located at 4l0 st. Paul
street, Baltimore, and the first issue
of the paper will appear June I'd.
The President of the company is
Rev John A Anderson, Secretary,
Rev d V Register and Treasurer,
DR. & M Armstrong. Rev b w
Bond, d. ID. is editor. -
Under this able management the
paper will be launched with the
view Of meeting the demand so
universally expressed for "a dollar
religious weekly" and to further
fill the popular demand for news
of pastors and charges of the con-
ference. as we'll as supply the gen
eral church news.
When a paper Of this character,
home, church paper, can be had
at one dollar, it is the duty and
should be the privilege of every
Methodist family within the bounds
of the conference to subscribe for it..
1t is indeed fact that Protes-
tants az a rule are too careless and
Indifferent in informing themselves
on matters pertaining to their
church. its government and history,
past and present, and are not
aroused to the Importance, attach
ed by some to the earl y training OF
their children in the ways OF their
church.
In the place of much Of the trash
that is given room in the home, let
a good, religious paper come to
your hand and drop a good seed
here and there in the young mind
of your child, and you are perform
ing a service for that child that
will count for good in its after life.

In School

There are many children in
school, who need glasses but not
wearing them. There is no time i'll life
when the eyes ought to receive such
careful attention as through school years.
The muscles are not fully develop
ed; gradual changes arc taking
place in the eye-ball, and the work is
close and combining. If there is ten
dency to defective vision, it can be check
ed better at this time than any other.
Wearing glasses constantly in after life
may be avoided. II the child seems to
have difficulty in seeing the characters
upon the blackboard, or if he holds his
book too close or too far away, there is
a defect. Ifit seems to be an effort tor
him to study; if he has headache great
deal; if he is drowsy CT listless; if his
eyes are inflamed or irritated, he needs
glasses. The sooner the eyes have at.
tention the better it will be for him all
tGrough life. See me about it.
