follows:

County:
In the death of Gen. E. M. Law,
the schools Of Polk county and the
great cause of education have lost a
true friend; and as General Law spent
most of his eventful life GA years. in
Polk county in the cause of educa-

believe will be counted privilege and
pleasure) by the teachers and every
school boy and girl in Polk county, to
have part in the proposed Memorial
to his memory.
General Law served Florida faith
fully at time of her greatest need.
AS citizen of Polk county he served
long and faithfully in the great cause
of education, and was an honored and
beloved member of the county school
board at his death. Having been
closely associated with him the past
three years I learned to love him as
father. No man had a higher con-
ception of right and justice than Gen
Law, and to have a part in perpetual
