This ends Prof. Jones second
year with us smd his work and
the results thereof show that he
is a most competent schoolman.
Mr. Jones is a candidate for coun-
ty Superintendent and at one
time it was thought this would
prevent him from taking another
year with us, but as he would
not take office until a year from
July, it is earnestly hoped by a.
great majority of the patrons
that he will remain another year.
To the citizens of the . county
we can say that no better choice
for county Superintendent could
be made. Quiet, earnest, faith-
ful and intelligent, with it charac-
ter above reproach, he is espee-!
ially fitted by nature, education
and experience for this position.
His work here shows him to be
far above the average aspirant
for the county superintendency.

j If thesse wiseacres would exer
cine their pespicacity in figuring
the
town, and then would all pull to-

good about, the result would be
<ueh a matter of local pride that
nobody would WHnt to talk about
anything else. The destiny of a
community, like that of an indi
vidua 1, can be controlled; the
possibilities of development and
improvement are almost unlimit-
ed, and it is not only wisdom
but money in the pocket for citi-
zens to take their town in hand
and try to make it amount to
something.
