My old friend, John Albert, says
they have the measles in his
house-his wife is just recovering
from a second intlictioil. He doesn't
know whether he has ever had a
tussle with the disease, hut it he did
in his early days, he doesn't feel
immune if it Il take a second
hitch at a fellow. Neither dol l..
1t seems probable now that Prof.
O. l.. Loomis, who has been superin-
tendent of the Potosi public schools
for many years, will sever his con
n~ection with that position. AT meet
ing Of the school board one evening
last week he made a demand for an
increase of salary for the coming year,
which the board did not see fit TO
allow under the present revenues OF
the school. Therefore no superin-
tendent was appolned.--Potosi Jour
