The enrolment yesterday was

The people here deserve credit

Teachers must bear in mind
that the law requires their at
tendance and that their licenses
are revoked for a failure to at
tend. Directors should bear this
in mind also, for they make
themselves liable when they hire
teacher with an illegal
license. Last year several school
boards in this county violated
the law by paying out money to
teachers who held no legal Ii
cense to teach. This year shall
warn them by publishing the
names of all such persons. How.
ever, am the teachers friend
and shall do every thing in my
power for them. Those that will

THE NAME OF BLYTH
Question Has Arisen Over the Chris
tening of the New Town.

The Herald's statement concerning
town of Blyth at the locality of the
new coal camp of Thompson & Walk
err, northeast of this city, seems to
meet with a number of exceptions.
The paper was no more than off the
press until the telephone began work
ing and communications began pour
ing in, Informing us of the mistake.
Others came into the office today and
the phone was again busy.
The statements made by our in
formants would indicate that some
one other than the Herald is mistak-
en- in the reasons for the nama OF the
little town
The Herald stated that the town
was named in honor of James Blythe,
the well known railway attorney and
politician. This is understood to be
the case by many people. even in ,4e
vicinity of the mines. It appears,
however. according to the statement
of the majority, that the town was
named Blyth for the town of Blyth in
northern England, the birthplace of
Mr.. Walker, a member OF the firm
Others have said that the place was
called Blythe, to mean that the camp
was blithe, lively and gay, sup ana
coming" cheerful, etc
Some have disagreed upon the
spelling Of the name, saying that
Blythe was the correct form, ana that
1t so appeared on the company sta
tionery. The correct spelling, how
ever, is without the final "e." Spell
it Blyth, and use the English accent
when you say it, and you viii be
about correct,--that is, II the majority
are permitted to rule.

HAD A FINE TIME.
Tom Cox Enjoyed His Visit to His
Old Home.

Tom Cox, the we'll knowGl market
man of Evans, is just home from
Charlottesville, West Virginia, where
together with his two daughters, Miss
Ruby and Mona, he has been visiting
with his aged mother, Mrs. Elizabeth
Cox, who has passed her eighty.tnird
year, and with his brother, Rinaldo
Cox, business man of the town. Mr..
Cox was called by the failing health
of the old lady and he remained in
Albemarle county and the neighbor-
hood of his old home number OF
weeks.
Tom was at his home during the
holiday season and met many of his
old time associates, fellows with
whom he had attended school and
spent his boyhood days. He had not
seen them for years and in place of
being family reunion, the visit was
made neighborhood affair which
was highly enjoyable to Tom and the
little girls. Mr.. Cox and his daugh-
tiers acknowledge the gracious hos
pitality that was bestowed upon them
from all sides, but they were greatly
pleased over the attentions of Agent
w. o. Watson, of the c. & o. Ry., the
Perley Furniture .Company, and S.
Leterman & Sons, large business
firms of the city, all of whom extend
ed special favors. Some of the gen.
tlemen took occasion to state that
they believed the little girls of the
west were superior to the little ladies'
of the east, and the Misses Cox
deem this a personal compliment.
Tom says: Il had the time of my life
and I'm glad we went down there.
1t does fellow good to get away
from home once in a while"

Jasper County Political Controversy
Comes to Local Court.

Newton, Ia, Jan. 16.-The Jasper
county sheriff contest was taken into
the courts today by Fred Pahre and
John Thorp, two of the claimants to
the appointment to sheriff and deputy
appealing to Judge X. e. willcock
son at Oskaloosa to approve theil
bonds. Judge Willcocksol fixed Jan
% as the date of hearing arguments
in the matter at Oskaloosa and had
notice served on County Auditor Sci
man and the board of supervisors &c
that effect.
Pahre claims the appointment from
the old board of supervisors, who met
Immediately after Sheriff Moberly's
deaCh and selected his successor, al
though their term of office expired
forty-eight hours later. Moberly had
been reelected. The new board OF
supervisors, the majority OF members
of which is democratic, refused TO
recognize the action of the old board
and appointed Frank Russell, a dem,
ocrat to the place. Pahre refused to
be removed and retained the office in
the court house and named John
Thorp, who was defeated for sheriff
by Moberly in last falls election, as
deputy. Russell took charge of the
Jail and named DAVID Conn as deputy,
Conn having served in that capacity
under the late Sheriff Moberly. The
new board approved their bond.
The appeal to the courts was prob.
ably the result of the subpoenas for
jurors being turned over to Russell
yesterday to be served.

THE MINERS TRAIN.

The Garfield Coal Co., of Evans has
one hundred men on their pay rolls
who reside in oskaloosa. On the av.
erage each man receives $50 every
two weeks, making $4,000 each pay
day, or $4,000 per month, that is spent
in oskaloosa. This is quite a sum,
and shows the benefit of the miners
train from this city to Evans. 1t may
be possible that when the new Thomp.
son & Walker mine about seven miles
northeast of the city gets into full
operation miners train will be run
from this CIV and large number OF
miners and their families can live in
the city.
