Teachers Pay Rolls

Pay rolls amounting to a total of $685.
O99. AZ covering teachers salaries in the
various state schools for the month or
November, have just been approved by
the state department of education. The
amount, however covers the teachers
salaries in only so of the 81 counties of
the state, the remaining seven pay rolls
having been found incorrect In some
minor details.
The month of November is always the
heaviest one OF the year, according to
the educational department, In view Oh
the fact that during this month all or the
state schools that are to be operated
during the year are generally open to the
students Always with the beginning OF
the planting season a number of the
county schools drop few of their teach
ers owing to the usual diminution in the
number of pupils.
This year nearly all of the state schools
are reporting unprecedented attendances
and from present indications the session
now on will be the banner one in the
history of the state.
Advices have been received by Chier
Clerk w. F. Feagin of the department
that the temperance placards have been
generally placed in the schools of the
state as required by law, and that the
statute requiring the placards is being
generally commented upon in favorable
way. For the most part 1t Is considered
that the pieces of paper will convey
lesson that will have telling effect upon
number of the pupils who hourly con-
front the quotations which stare at them
from the four placards. In nearly every
instance the placards have been placed
in the halls of the various schools, where
they are at once seen upon entering the
doors.

After
La Grippe

II had suffered several weeks
with LaGrippe. Had pains in
my head and eyes. It felt as
though there was a heavy weight
on the top of my head, until it
seemed that my brain would
burst. I was SO nervous that
[ could not rest or sleep. When
[ dozed off [ would awake with
a sudden jerking of my whole
body. DR.. Miles Nervine, Heart
Remedy and Nerve and Liver
Pills cured me. A number of
friends have since realized the
same benefits"
MRS. ALVIN H. LOCKS,
Seabrook, N. Fl.
The after effects of LaGrippe
are often more serious than the
disease, as it leaves the system
in a weakened condition that
invites more serious troubles,
such as pneumonia, etc.
