Going to Oklahoma.

The JOURNAL had time only last week
to make announcement of the resigna-
ton of Prof. f. d. Murdaugh, principal
of the State Normal School, this place.
1t TRANSFERRED later that the dispatch
conveying his resignation to the State
Board of Education reached Baltimore
after that body had adjourned. Hence,
no steps could be taken to fill the vacated
office, although the faculty otherwise
had been re-appointed.
During the last session of the Okla
homa Legislature a State University
School, to be located at ClaremOre, an
important point at the junction of the
Iron Mountain and Frisco railroad syS-
TEN. was provided for, and it is to this
establishment the school authorities of
Oklahoma have called Prof. Murdaugh.
Inasmuch as the Professor came from
Oklahoma to take charge of the State
Normal here, the recall TO that State,
attended by both promotion and higher
pay, is distinctly IA compliment to his
competency and a tribute to his efficiency
as a skilled educator.
Though he will not leave here until
about August LIST he is already making
preparations to undertake his new
duties.
"Who will be his successor" will be a
live question until the next meeting of
the State Board.

Two citizens-one Il property

Union street last Sunday evening, We're
overheard by friend of the JOURNAL
discussing indeed, disputing the merits
of street paving. One favored the idea
that ''the town should do it all for the
town, just as the county improves the
roads for all, and so on. The other
couldn't see it that way. He thought
that towns are one thing, counties an
other" and, incidentally. referred to the
JOURNAL as "a back number and SC on.
The foregoing is condensed from the
report of the eavesdropper, and perhaps
the two gentlemen will be surprised to
see themselves quoted in print.
