Superintendent of Prattvfiie Schools
 Will Ga West.
 Prattville, Sep 1--lSpecial. )--Prof. !. D. Lane has rendered his resignation, to take effect at once, as Superintend- ent of the city school.
 This step was made necessary on the part of Professor Lane under the advice of his physician. to take care of his health. He will leave in few days for Denver, Colo, where he will reside for sometime to regain his health.
 This surprise was painful to the pat rons of the school, as we'll as to Profess sor Lane and his family. Professor Lane came to Prattville more than a year ago from Dadeville and is much loved by all. He is an energetic teaeh- CT and progressive in all his work.
 It is somewhat demoralizing to the school interest here in having to post pone the opening for at least one week to get affairs adjusted for the new con- dltioRs brought about by the resigna- tion of the superintendent
 The Board of Education met this af- ternoon and after being in session for two hours, decided to postpone the opening of the school for one week and try to secure a superintendent to open the school at that time. The school will open here September 1T instead of September as was announced.
 The people of this town are making preparations to receive the Montgomery Baptist Association September 9 and 10. There will be 150 delegates, besides a large number of visiting Baptists, and ample provision will be made for their entertainment.
