There is some difference OF opinion
among attorneys and others as to
the right OF any attorney other than
the prosecuting attorney to repre-
sent the state in any criminal action
in q Justice court, where it is not
necessary to file an information in
lieu of an Indictment, as basis OF
action. Attorney Irwin contends
that his appearance in the Groat-
Anderson case was entirely proper,
while Prosecuting Attorney Wynn
takes the contrary view, as express
sed ia his letter in the IsLAEDER
last week.

The school board met Tuesday
evening and organized by re-electing
N. E. Churchill chairman and O. III.
Culver secretary. No official action
was taken in the matter of employ
ing teachers for the ensuing year.
All have given excellent satisfaction
and if they desire to remain no
changes are likely to be made unless
the tenth grade is dropped, in which
case one less teacher will be re-
quired. Some of the young people
who were so enthusias tic for the tenth
grade work at the beginning of the
year have disappointed their teach
ers and the directors by giving it up
and the directors do not feel justified
in employing an extra teacher in or
der to afford high school advantages
to pupils who haven't sufficient ap-
probation of the work and regard
Tor their own welfare to make the
most Of itgby working earnestly in
school during the full school year.
