Lawrence County Negro School Teach.

Wonderful, indeed, are some of
the Compositions handed to
county superintendents of educa-
ton, when examinations for teach

At Monticello a few days ago
there was an examination for col
ored people who want to be teach
ers in negro schools. Superinend-
ent W. L. McGahey, of Lawrence
county, is still trying to get full
meaning of the following "compo-
sition" on the subject, "Villa, the
Mexican Bandit" which was
handed in by one of the negro ap-
plicantS:
"The outlaw of mexican were to
abolish Slavery, and were to have

Pike rIeks Scarce.

- As an evidence of the. fact that
the cattle tick is almost eradicated
from this section, may be cited the
number of ticks found ON a herd of
cattle dipped at the vat located on
the Fair Grounds here last week.
Out of herd of 511 cattle that
were dipped and inspected by In
spector W. o. Coney, only one COW
was found to be infested with
ticks. This COW. belongs to far
mer who lives a few miles west OF
Magnolia, and, according to the
inspector, only four ticks were
found on her body. Only three OF
these were Texas fever ticks. This
is good news to the owners of cat
tie in this section, who have been
forced to dip their cattle, but who
have cheerfully complied with the
rules and regulations of the State
Livestock Sanitary Board. Not
only does this condition exist in
this community, but The Gazette
lis advised that the work has pro.
gressed as rapidly in almost every
other community in the county,
and it is thought that the end Of
the war on ticks in Pike county is
near. Magnolia Gazette.

Money in Family Bible.

Some time ago an old man in
New Jersey found SIS, 900 scattered
in bills of large denominations
through the family Bible. In 1874
this mans aunt died, and a para
graph of her will read as follows
"To my beloved nephew'I will and
bequeath my family Bible and all
it contains, with the residue of my
estate after my funeral expenses
and just lawful debts are paid.''
The estate amounted to only a few
hundred dollars, which was soon
spent, and her nephew, neglecting
to read the Bible, did not find the
treasure put there for him. He
lived in poverty all that time, and
it was while packing up his things
to remove to his sons home for
the remainder of his days that he
discovered the money. How many
people miss the precious treasures
that are placed in the Bible for
them by failure to read its pages
How many rejoice in having found
Christ in the blessed Book worth
more than all the money of all the
banks, the pearl of great price
worth more than all the costly
Jewels of the earth! Christ thus
bids us all to secure this wealth :
tSearch the Scriptures; for in
them we think ye have eternal life,
and they are they which testify of
me. - John 5:39.)-Christian
Herald.
