REPRESENTATIVE KEY
REPLIES TO ESQ. BRIM

For the benefit of my friend,
Esq. Brim, / wish to say that,
under the constitution of Ten
nessee, no lawmaking body can
legally give anyone the right to
hunt on the other mans premi-
ses. You alone can do that
either by verbal or written per-
mission,
Now, about House bill Is,
making females over IL years of
age eligible to the office of No
tary Public. / had no special
one in view, it being left entire
Iy with the county court as to
what it would elect. But l do
think girls should have the
same right to be elected notaries
public as boys have to work the
public roads.
am not surprised that nine
out Of ten are against you. Just
so long as you are opposed to
women having some few privi-
leges, they will make the joker
out of you.

FORKS OF THE RIVER
HIGH SCHOOL MOVED

A meeting of the Smith county
high school board was held here
last Saturday at which time a
number of important matters
pending before that body was
disposed of. All the members
of the board-L. A. Lyon, chair
man, E. L. Hufines. secretary,
w. L. Mcclellan. J. Fl. Apple.
W. B. Ford, John B. Wilson and
w. A. Davis were in attendance.
The most important feature of
the transaction of the hoard was
the removal of the forks of the
river high school from Chestnut
Mound to EImwood. A.communi-
cation from Prof. Bourne, state
high school inspector, was read
In which the inspector made
complaint that the high school
at Chestnut Mound was being
maintained at too great expense
according to the number of high
school pupils in attendance. At
this juncture a resolution was
adopted by the board fixing 50. 90
per month per pupil as the
limit for maintaining a high
school. The resolution provided
If the amount of running of the
schools should exceed 800 the
amount should be supplied by
the citizens or the school discon-
tinued. A report of the condi-
tons of the schools showed that
the one at Chestnut Mound had
an average of IL pupils and that
the school was being maintained
an expenditure of $15 per month
per pupil, which is $500 in ex-
cess of the amount provided by
the resolution.
After the communication from
Prof. Bourne had been read and
the resolution ard report was
adopted a motion was made to
transfer the school from Chest
nut Mound to Elmwood, the
proposition carrying by a vote
of to 3.
The citizens of Elmwood esti-
mate that they will have some
thing like 35 pupils to enter the
high school department and agree
that they will comply with the
resolution by paying the excess
in the case the expense of run
ming the school should exceed
800 per month per pupil.
The board has not announced
the teachers for the three high
schools but it is thought there
will be only slight changes if
any in~the faculties of the Car
thage and Gordonsville schools.
Profs. Ovid Neal. principal, and
Sterling McDuffy. co-principal,
will more than likely be in charge
of the high school at Elmwood.
