from something in-breatbed; hence the

The %fiapjacks they claw from a buck

are not considered shOpworn because
the customer finds them wanting in
quality, but are casually slapped back
again into their receptacle.
Apparently the wearing qualities of
tortillas are excellent. You have seen
a limp stack of them examined and
rejected by half a dozen prospective
purchasers, yet they look scarcely
frayed, and are still quite salable.

Give cheerfuIness a Chance.

C~heerfulness is a much rarer quality
than is generally supposed, especially
among the rich. 1t was not common
even before we learned that, in spite
of Browning though God may be in
his heaven, nevertheless, all is wrong
In the world.
If ''most men lead lives of quiet
desperation" MS Thoreau says they do,
1t is, l suspect, because they will not
allow cheerfulness to break in upon
them when it will. A good disposition
Is worth a fortune. Give cheerfulness
a chance and let the professed philoso-
pher go hang.-A. Edward Newton, in

The cause of the fluctuation in the

Professor See states that the cleo

Fall Best Time to Paint House.

The fall of the year is by far the
best time to paint the exterior of a
house, for paint dries more slowly i'm
cool weather and consequently lasts
longer. The heat of the summer sun
on a house painted in TIE spring doea
much more harm than any winter
weather and a fall painting is well sea-
soned before the next summer arrives.
Small flies and insects are also a pesk

 yoke Law in Controversy.

Declarations, testifying that the services of Prof. F. G. May as prin- cipa1 of the Lakeside school were en-
 tirely satisfactory to the patrons of that institution, were presented to a
 meeting of Lakeside patrons in the corridor of the courtholse SC last night.
 The declarations bore the signatures of APO persons, said to represent 296
 families.
 These declarations were presented
 shortly after the committee, appoint ed at recent meeting of Lakeside
 patrons to ascertain the reasons of
 the school board in dismissing Pro-
 lessor May, had reported that the
 communication to the board on be-
 half of the taxpayers had been
 treated with silent contempt" This
 committee was composed of J. M Shaw, Dr. o. G. Blackwell, J. w. Blackburn, P. c. Chestnut and o. F. Tedstrom. The report reads: Board Ignores Patrons. "Te the Patrons of Lakeside School in Mass Meeting Assembled:
 We, your committee elected for the purpose of ascertainin5 the reasons which the Pine Bluff school board had, if any, for summarily dismissina our former principal from his place beg to report that we formulated as polite letter as we knew how te those gentlemen; notifying them o1
 our having been elected by you fol the purpose above stated, and ask ing them to name time and place

 regard us as having any right to dis

 to have charge of the education o

 we are utterly at loss to account for this "kaiserly" spirit on theil part. This is not usual in free Am
 erica. Having no hope of hearing before the board, we beg to be dis
 charged"

ed to prepare a comprehensive state ment concerning the attitude of the patrons of Lakeside ill regard to the manner in which the taxpayers have been treated by the school board, and to have it printed in The Graphic and the Commercial, those present obligating themselves to defray what ever expense is thus incurred.
 In submitting the declarations ur petitions, Mrs. J. F. Shaw, to whom had been delegated the duty of hav- ing these circulated, stated that the signatures of APO pelsons "refuted the statement that Professor May had been dismissed because of ineffici- ency.' The meeting gave votes of thanks to Mrs. Shaw and the ladies who assisted her, to the committee appointed to call upon the board for an explanation, and $" The Graphic and the Commercial for printing ac counts of the meetings, MT. Blake burn saying the papers have shown us more consideration than we eX- pected, especially in view of the fact that in years passed it seemed that the papers and the people feared to print or breathe word whenever the school board was concerned"
 Pursuing further advocacy of pub lcity in school matters, MT. Blake burn asserted that the day after a meeting of the city council one could pick up the papers and learn of the business that had been transacted; that it is possible for any citizen to go to the mayor or member of the council and obtain a hearing; but that he has never seen com pIete account of meeting of the school board printed in the local pa years. He wanted to know why the school board couldn't pay the papers to print the proceedings of meetings that the taxpayers might be kept informed of school affairs.
 Says May Exonorated.
 Referring to the May matter, MT. Blackburn said:
 We had no hope C. getting Mir. May re-instated. Our purpose was to show that his services have been satisfactory, and thus clear his name. We have accomplished that purpose. We have nothing against the man named to replace MT. Way. As l see 1t, there is nothing more we can do for MT May at this tims, but the time will come when we can do some- thing for him, and we should stick together"
 Mr. Blackburn expre ssed the hope that in the next election, the wo- men would voice their true sentf- ments at the polls, because often the men haven't the nerve to do so. 7 He declared that Lakeside has re- ceived many slaps and forgotten be- fore election day, but we ought not to forget this package. and l hope we won't"
 MT. Shaw also urged permanent organization; "to get together and stay together for the good of the schools and the city" He said they could show that bunch" that ".he city does not belong to them,' and urged that if "the board continues to ignore the people, we circulate pc titions asking those bucks to resign y Mir. Seabrook interrupted to say "They will not resign" which i'm pelled s. J. Moore to relate how pa- irons of a school in Missouri once handled an arrogant school board Adjournment was taken to July 6, at ?. m., when it is proposed to organize a permanent association to take an active part in school affairs of the city.
