SCHOOL ELECTION
 BLANKS PROVIDED ANNUAL ELECTION l5
SUCCESSORS TO B. T. DEAL AND w. B. HUBBELL TO BE
 NAMED HERE.

Arrangements to provide necessary blanks for holding the annual schoo elections in this county have beer made by County Judge J. w. Holt and County Examiner J. NJ. c Vaughter. These supplies are usual ly furnished by the state department of education, but the veto of the ap. propriation for this purpose made il necessary for them to be secured To- cally this year. Prof. Vaughter vii mail out the blank notices of the cleo. ton next Saturday, and these must be posted by the directors some time next week, or within 15 days before the election.
 The election will be held on the third Saturday in May, the 18th day of that month. Each district will vote tax not to exceed seven mills and will elect one director in the com mon school districts and two in the special districts, for three-year terms.
 In the Conway special district sue cessors to B. T. Deal and Prof. w. B. Hubbell, secretary of the board, are to be chosen. No candidates for the position have as yet announced, and 1t Is considered probable that both these gentlemen will be reelected When they were elected in May, 1912, they received large majorities of the vote cast
