"Trip To huntsville.

The Editor made a flying trip
to huntsville last Friday morning.
As we got off the train Bro. w.
Phelps was seeing the Rev. M. H.
Armor off on the same train. Rev
Armor had been holding a meet
ing there which resulted in three
baptisms.
At the Brooks house we had a
substantial breakfast and then
went out among the business men
Found Mr. R l. Smith suffering
from headache at his residence.
The two teachers of the Burns
vile school Misses Conan and
Carmack-have rooms there and
do their own light housekeeping.
DR. McDougal was in his office
but was getting ready to go 10
Leedy on a professional call.
In the huntsville Mercantile
Cos. store we found Messrs
Timbes and Woodruff busy as us
ua,.
AT the post office oar friends J
H Nixon and A E Woodley we're
on hand. The former complained
of being overworked.
The new railroad doesn't seem
to hurt huntsville. The predic-
ton was freely made when the
c was under construction that it
would sap the trade of the town,
but not so.
When Yellow Creek SWAMI is
drained, which will be done in
time. huntsville will blossom as
the rose.
Our time WIS limited as we
came back on the S:lO Newsboy.
Always make it habit to come
to our store when in Iuka, you
will always find abundance of bar
gains and receive courteous
attention.

round all right in course of time.
Now the gentleman seems to
think that ruling No 2 from the
Atty. Gen. settles it. 1t settles
nothing except the Atty. Gen. was
misinformed by the Supt. There
is no friction between the two
opinions. They fit like two chest
nuts in one burr. In his first
opinion he said the Board could
not make the levy till a petition
was filed and an election held as
provided by law.
In ruling No he says if there
has been a duly conducted cleo
ton and levy made Hereunder,
the board has a right to continue
the levy until another petition is
filed. Now, has there been a du
ly conducted election? | say not.
What does it take to constitute a
duly conducted election? An cleo
ton held according to law. There
must be petition filed with the
Board; an election ordered by the
board and an election held accord
ing to law. Now | assert that
since the adoption of the Code of
1892 there has been no such Pc
tition filed. / further assert THAT
since the adoption of said code
there hrs never been such an cleo
ton ordered, neither has there
been such an election held. Now
| confess that in the year 1908 the
people voted on levy for the
purpose of improving school hous-
es and the board donated to the
school houses at one time $500
But this was not a school levy as
the people of this county well
know. Then this election was
not legally held for the statute
says the levy shall be submitted to
the qualified electors of the coun-
ty outside the separate school dis
tricts. Now this question was
submitted to the voters of the en-
tire county, those inside the sep
arate school districts voting same
as those on the outside, which
would have made the election IL
legal. So l claim the boar d could
not have made legal levy based
on an illegal precedent.
So | would advise the gentle
man to draw up petition and get
busy for the door to the sheep
fold is an election and he thai
would climb up any other way,
the same is thief and a robber.
