RURAL SCHOOL PUPILS
MAY GET FREE TUITION
In The Town High Schools By
Meeting The Requirements
Under The New Law.

| At the last session of the legislature
a law was passed which provides that
district not providing high school
instruction should pay tuition of any
children residing within its limits at
high school. So many questions are
asked concerning this that it seems ad-
yisable to quote the state superinten-
dent on this poiut and add few COM
ments.
County Superintendent Ella NJ.
Stearns has been advised by State Sup
erintendent Deyoe as to the require
ments and qualifications of rural
students who may desire to take
advantage of the provisions of the
free tuition law passed by the last
legislature. The opinion was called
out by numerous inquiries regarding
that section of the bill which defines
what a rural student must do TO get
free tuition, and is as follows:
First. The student must have
certificate of age and residence signed
by a resident or the secretary of his
home corporation.
Second. The pupil must present
certificate of proficiency signed by
the county superintendent, covering
the following branches: Reading,
photography, arithmetic, physiology.
grammar, civics, geography, United
States history. penmanship and music;
provided, however, he may be admitted
to any grade in such high school, includ-
ing the ninth, by passing a satisfactory
examination before the school authori-
ties of the high school where he may
desire to attend. The pupil must pre-
sent a certificate signed by the county
superintendent or pass a satisfactory
examination before the school autho-
rites where he may desire to attend
high school A statement or certificate
of proficiency in the branches enumerat-
ed above is implied as necessary in
order to be entitled to enter the ninth
grade in either case. Pupils having
completed part of the high school
course prior to the taking effect of this
act may have met all the conditions
required for admission to grades above
the ninth grade
IL will be seen from the above that
any pupil may enter high school by
satisfying the school authorities that he
is able to do high school work. Many
have had the idea that one must have
a common school diploma, but this Is
not necessary if the one desiring TO
enter the school can satisfy the city
superintendent or high school principal
that he is able to carry on high school
work satisfactory.
This is one of the most sensible school
laws that the last Legislature passed
and it is expected that the enrolment
of the local high school win be increas-
ed materially.

THE MERCHANTS WIN
FROM THE BARRIERS
In The Base Ball Game Played At
Northup's Park On Thursday
OF Last Week.
10 To II.

Last Thursday afternoon the BARRIERS
and Merchants met on the diamond at
Northups Ball Park and demonstrated
their ability in the art of playing base
ball. A fair sized crowd was out to
witness the game and to root for their
favorities and also see how some of the
old timers handled themselves as well
as the ball The game was called for
2:30 and went off at that time with the
Merchants at bat and before they could
be retired they had put three scores on
the sheet and went out in the lead which
they held until the finish. The BARRIERS
scored two runs in the first and in the
second and were then forced to wait
until the sixth for more runs and had
il not been for the generosity Of O'Neil
who was in the box for the Merchants
they would probably not scored as many
runs as they did as he simply tossed
them over SO they could hardly help
hitting them.
George Viewer started the game for
the Merchants but retired after the first
in favor of O'Neil as the work was too
heavy for his size and weight. Matheny
did the strong arm work for the BARRIERS
until they the Merchants took fancy
to him and batted the ball for eight
runs III one inning anu thcu ho tCt
Davis go the rest of the way and he
somewhat checked the run getting.
If all the plays that were, and were
not pulled off were reported it would
have taken several short hand artists TO
have kept track of them so we did not
try to get them all and as to errors we
counted 81 and lost track of them after
that and quit, however, we saw Crone
soak the ''spud" and get the laugh, Also
Viewers slide to third which would
do credit to any ball player" and
Denaldson's spectacular fall-down-and-
Follower catch, John Roth running
wild on the bases and, we could mention
a number of other plays just as spark
ling but time and space is limited so we
will say no more only that we under
stand that the BARRIERS are to play the
Court House bunch this evening at the
same place. We give below the lineup
the way the game started but they
switched around so much we don know
where they were when they ended.
Cowles did the indicator work in old
time fashion as no rules were used.

Obituary OF J. c. Jones.

John Clarke Jones, was born in Greene
county, Pennsylvania, September 3
1886, and at the time of his death which
occurred on Tuesday afternoon al
twenty minutes of two o'clock, June
30, 1911, he was seveuty-four years,
nine months and twenty days old.
He was married March 10, 1859 to Asenah
j. Stuart also of Greene county, Penn.
sylvania. Unto this union seven chill
dren were born, five of whom are living;
James f. Jones of Alberta, Canada,
Mrs. III. W. Cripple, Mrs. Allie J. Lewis,
Lewis S. Jones, and Mrs. Arvilla Pratt
all of Bentonville, Arkansas. The four
latter mentioned who all lived near
their fathers home were present at his
bedside when he died.
He enlisted in Company A 10th
Pennsylvania Vol. Inf, on the Union
side, on August Is, 1862, and he left his
home for service on August %, 1862
He faithfully served three years of ac-
tive service, and was honorably dis
charged on May 31st. 1865, and has ever
since lived the life of an honorable, up
right citizen. After the close of the
war, in the year 1868. he moved with
his wife and four children to Deepriver,
Iowa, where he resided twelve years.
From Deepriver he removed to Audubon,
Iowa, where he resided fourteen years
and from Audubon to his late home,
four miles south of Bentonville, Arkan-
sas, where he lived till the time of his
death, "a period of nearly seventeen
years
Before leaving Pennsylvania he was
to the Methodist belief, which,
tho he never united with any church in
later years, was his lifelong belief, and
he was baptized in that faith. One of
his favorite songs was, There is a
Fountain Filled With Blood" which
was sung at his funeral services held at
his home July LIST, and this same song
he tried to sing on Tuesday morning
before he sunk into the stupor from
which he never rallied. He also tried
to repeat the Lords prayer, but owing
to his weakness his words were indis-
tinct. He had been in failing health
for nearly five years and tho of late
years, because of his affection degenera-
tive changes of the brain, he had not
expressed any particular views on reli-
yion, we, his children believe, 'All is
Well With His Soul. He was ever
patient, gentle and kind and had deep
and protecting love for his home and
family. Besides his wife and children,
are left TO mourn his loss, twenty nine
living grand children and six great
grand children: also other relatives and
friends. This life is over but.
Then in nobler, sweeter song
I'll sing thy power to save,
When this poor. lisping, stammering
tongue
Lies silent in the grave
In loving memory of our dear father.
By HIS CHILDREN.
