DR.. Fox's faithful old horse, An
dy, passed in his checks" We'd
nesday evening. Finding that his
case was hopeless one, and after
many kindly ministrations," the

Now that the Monterey Milling
Company has exhausted its supply
of wheat and is out of -four, the
merchants are to be depended up
on for -four until harvest, and, un-
less the situation is watched and
well-managed, temporary flour
famine will result. The Milling
Company has furnished large guam
tiles of flour, but at present sky
high prices, Western wheat cannot
be gotten here, and there is no
home supply. Assuredly, there is
a lesson in the situation for High
land farmers, and it will be empha-
sized every time they send $500 to
the Valley for barrel.
The State Board of Education
on Saturday made public the names
of the division superintendent SO
far as selections had been made.
Among them is Mr.. w. G. Payne,
of Bath, as superintendent of the
schools of that county and High
land, the two haying been combln-
ed. For some reason he was chosen
over Mr.. j. L. Jones, of Mcdowell,
who was a candidate for reelection
Mr.. Jones had strong endorse
ment, and, although he had nc
quill" had received assurances
during the contest. AS we under
stand it, Mr.. Payne does not pos
sess superior qualifications for the
position, and it may be that Baths
timely double on the salary brought
her claims to the front, Mr.. Payne's
candidacy being made public about
the time this action was taken by
the authorities.
The trout-fshing season is VIZ
tuallv at an end. The season has
been one of fine sport, big catches
and bigger stories. Reports for the
season give our sporting photogra

esting to report his longest catch
but we neither have the space no
the nerve. He is an all-round ang
Ter, enjoys the sport and thrlve'
Inc less on fish diet than the enthu
siam incident to the catch. In re
porting results from time to TIM
during the season, he has has uset
the right index-fnger on the let
arm until the coat-sleeve is almos
thread-bare from elbow to shoulder
His last haul was made on Tuesday
He hooked the grandfather OF tn
lspeckled tribe, described it as fou
Inches between the eyes, and at
tempted to measure it's length o.
his arm, but his left ear was in tn
|way. On motion he was given tn
belt, and he has it on.
