Teachers Examinations.

The next regular examination
for teachers for this county will be
held in Ironton June 23d and Oath.
At this time all persons desiring
teachers certificates, or teachers
wishing to raise their grades, will
be given the opportunities desired.
l would insist that a great many
of my teachers try to raise their
grades, thereby showing that they
are advancing in the profession,
and that they r taking advant-
age of the opportunities within
their grasp, which are offered in
order that our standard be raised.
The teacher who gets the good
position is the one that shows him.
self qualified for the place.
| am greately in hopes that the
records which will be made at this
examination will show a progress
sive move among the teachers of
Iron county. Nothing speaks bet
ter for a community or county
than a corps of able and enthusiast
tic teachers. Let Iron county's
teachers do their part to uphold
our banner and retain the reputa-
ton already made.
The position of this board of
education on the endorsing ques-
ton is we'll known, but for the
benefit of some who may not know
it, l will state that no certificates
will be endorsed. By experience
as well as by close observation,
we have learned that it is best for
each county to examine it's own
teachers.
The examinations will begin
promptly at 8 A. NJ. and 1880 P. M,
and the usual order will be fol-
lowed. Any further information
desired may be had by addressing,
Yours, Truly,

always is -one to one, an even chance.
 Tt is quite true that if a player uses a system he may be able to play a few days and leave Monte Carlo with at least some of his money in the pocket; where as if he plays no system but stakes small sums all over the table without rhyme or reason, he does not stand one chance in million of winning anything. Nevertheless" Sir Hiram adds "the only good and certain system at Monte Carlo is to be the bank. The bank is cer- tain to win. whoever else may win or lose. All the other system are bad.
 "You say the bank at Monte Carlo has been broken It has been broken by chance alone, chance for once happening to be on the side of the system"
 All of which may be put in few words. If you must win don't play.
 Extraordinary Calm.
 What strikes you the most in the Salle des Jeux is the extraordinary de- corum and calm that regns always. You know tragedies are being enacted all about you but there is not a breath to suggest them. By tragedies I don't mean the losses of thousands in a few seconds nor the temporary bankruptcy of the gilded moths that are signed every sea- son. These are tragedies measured in francs.

 Why do work and worry and excess and strain and oyer-indugenee break down constitutions and make men and women worn out and run down and rest less and sleeplessness and discouraged and morose? Because they weaken the tiny, tender nerves on which life itself depends
 Not the nerves you ordinarily think about-not the nerves that govern your movements and your thoughts.
 But the automatic nerves that, unguid- ed and unknown. night and day. keep your heart in motion-eontrol the diges- tive pparatus-regulate your liver-op- crate your kidneys
 These are the nerves that worry wears out and work breaks down.
 It does no good to treat the ailing or gan-the irregular heart-the dsordered liver-the rebellious stomach-the de- ranged kidneys. They are not to blame. But go back to the nerves that control them. There you will find the seat of the trouble.
 It does no good to take stimulants and narcotics. for theirs at best, Is but a temporary effect which merely postpones the final day of reckoning.

It does not dose the organ to deaden the pain-but it does go at once to the nerve-the inside nerve-the power nerve-and builds up, and strengthens it and makes it well.

 Money for Rural Schools.
 State Superintendent of Education l. W. Hill has received from the trustees of the Peabody fund $1,OoO to be used as he may designate for the rural schools of the state. He has not yet decided what he will do The state law allows $500 for institute work if the same amount Is secured from other sources. or equal amounts to smaller sums thus secured.
 It is quite likely that the gift will be utilized In this way, giving a number of teachers the advantage of expert train- ing He has also in mind the helping of small communities to build school houses With it he can get several new buildings constructed by giving help to those who will be interested. No definite plan has yet been adopted. Alabama has been get ting s6O0O a year from this fund for the normal schools which will very likely be lost in future.
 The will of Peabody allowed the trus- tees to dissolve the trust after thirty years and give the money in bulk where they desired. One million has been given to the Peabody Normal at Nashville, Ten nessee giving as much, leaving $l, 100000 yet to be disposed of It is expected that the trustees will get together and dispose of the money in short time. Alabama has some good friends at work for it, and there IS hope that the schools of the state will be given neat sum in the and
