Proposed Amendment to the
Constitution.

To the voters of Tishomingo Co.:
At the November election, you
will have an opportunity to vote
for or against change in the Con-
stitutipn of Mississippi. The OBJ
iect of the proposed change is to
equalize the length of the school
term in the different counties of the
state. Under the present system oil
distributing the school fund, some
counties have four months Of pub
lie sch, oil, Others have six months,
and some eight months. The pro-
posed change will enable the Leg
is'ature to provide for each county
the same number OF months OF pub
lie school. This change will give
the child in Tishomingo county the
same opportunities that the child in
the lower counties has. This change
can not be effected without the con-
sent of a M jority of the voters Of
the state, and every voter of this
C ,unty should go to the polls on
November the fourth and cast his
ballot for this proposed change. II
the counties which will be benefited
by the change do not cast strong
vote for the amendment, we can not
expec. it to be adopted. So let ev-
cry voter go to the polls on the
fourth of November and cast his
vote to improve the conditions Of
the rural school of Tishomingo
county. Improve the conditions Of
the rural school and we will soon
have more and better teachers.
