Blood Poison Cured.
Thers is no doubt, according to
the many remarkable cures perform¬
ed by Botanic Blood Balm (“B. B.

ificance, when compared with it.
It cures pimples, ulcers, skin diseas¬

skin ailments. Buy the best, and

me permanently, although tempo-

Education passed the following
resolutions: ist. Resolved, That
the public schools shall begin on
3 ., rr i > _r January, t o o and .
*
continue forty days without inter-
ruption ; the second term shall be-
g t) the n th day of r July t , and ,
continue forty days without inter-
ruption, and the third term shall
, begin the nth day of October _
on
and continue fifty days without in¬
terruption.
1 he Demorest, the Cornelia, the
Mt. Airy and theClarkesville schools
will make special arrangements
concerning the second term when
contracts are given. The above
tesolution I,,.- , was ttrna passed „ , on account 4
ot the term having been lengthened
to one hundred and thirty days.
2d, Resolved, That titles made to
the board of education, to lands for
school sites, shall recite ’ “to be
used , tor . school , purposes,” also
giving the right to remove improve-
ments placed thereon, should the
community desire a removal.
3d, Resolved, That teachers be
paid according to population of
districts and grade of license.
The board passed a resolution
setting out the plans by which text
books are to be adopted, which
plans are being put in operatior.
the board, seeing that they could
not examine and select books in
time for the first term, have taken
plenty of time within which to
examine and have examined the
books to be adopted. 1 The selections
and arrangements will . be made by
commencement oi second term.
All books are to be changed except
histories. The school census will
be taken sometime during the
spring. Each teacher, at as early
a date as possible, will give census
and define lines of his or her sub-
school district, said census and lines
to be governed by locations and
assignment of patrons made by
committees last fall. They shall
also give a separate supplementary
report of students coming into their
districts from other districts by au¬
thority of the board of education.
The definition of lines will be as
follows: “The (here name the
district, which shall be that of the
school) sub-school district line as
follows : Beginning at (here name
the place of some patron on the
boundary) and^running thence to
(here name another patron on the
boundary) and so on until J you have
completed the line.
I call special attention to the
above, for salaries depend upon it
Teachers who have charts on re-
ceipts given last year will bring
them in or give new receipts in
order that I may know where they
are and who is responsible for them,
Contracts with teachers can. be

SKELETONS IN CLU^S.
THE QUEER PERFORMANCES OF THE
TWO BLANKS OF NEW YORK.
Mystery of the Man Who Stole Food at
Free Luncheons—Another Man With a
Historical Name Who Took to Wearing
Olil Clothes ami Was Dropped.
A decently dressed man, with a sham¬
bling gait and a shifty eye, walked down
Broad street one afternoon last week and
| attracted the attention of a broker who
was standing in his office window. The
broker watched the man closely nntil
th “ Wl ™taddisappear around tb«
corner into Wall street. He had called a
IS™ t^'wwiow *>-
“His face is familiar, and I am sure
that I have seen him somewhere, but I
can’t place him. Who is he?”
“John Blank,’’ said the broker, men¬
tioning a family name that was well
known. “I am a member of three good
clubs,’’ continued the broker, naming
three that one would naturally place at
the head of the list of New York clubs,
“and in the course of a long experience
j with the management of them I have
seen some curious club skeletons. They
are unpleasant. Blank was a skeleton in
the--club until we finally got rid
of him, and to this day none of the men
who knew the facts about his expulsion
has ever had any explanation of them.
| “So far as family connections are
concerned, Blank is eligible to any club
in this city, and wo always understood
that he had a good income. It was about
five years ago, when I was a member of
the house committee, that my attention
was first called to Blank. A member of
the club came to me one day and said:
“‘See here. I’ve got a disagreeable
duty to perform. You kuow that re-
freshments are served at every regular
meeting of the club, and I have noticed
for several months back that John Blank
has stowed away a lot of things in his
pockets ou every such occasion. ’
“‘Why, that is absurd,’ I replied,
‘and I suspect that ho has been drinking
too much. You kuow that these month-
ly lunches are free to the members. ’
“‘That was the view that I took of
it the first time that! noticed it,’ lie
replied, ‘but I watched this man at the
last meeting very closely. Ho was not
intoxicated. He ate his lunch, and then
I saw him wrap up a piece of chicken,
some lobster salad and a brick of ice
cream in separate packages, put them
under his overcoat and leave the club,
it’s an amazing proceeding, and I think
that it is high time that something was
dono aboufc ’
“This man’s complaint interested me,
and I investigated it. Some of the club
waiters told mo that Blank had occa¬
sionally taken articles of small value
from tho club, and that he always car¬
ried away a package after a free supper.
There seemed to be no reasonable ex-
planation for his little steals. He was
and is a lawyer in good practice, and,
as you know, ho lives very comfortably.
I consulted with some of the other
house committeemen, and we decided
to look out for Blank at tho next sup¬
per. Ho turned up promptly, and, sure
enough, we saw him stealthily make up
a package from the lunch table and
walk out with it. There was nothing
left for us to do but to ask for sin ex¬
pla f atlon ’
“Charges wore preferred , . against . . him , .
and a formal notification was sent to
him. Blank paid ho attention to it. Wo
thought that ho might not have receiv¬
ed it and we sent him another notifica¬
tion and made sure that it reached him.
Blank ignored it, and then we dropped
him for conduct unbecoming a gentle¬
man. Blank never came near the club
house after his first notification, and so
far as I kuow ho has never given an in-
dication of resenting our action in drop¬
ping him. Now what do yon suppose
was tho explanation of his thefts? I
never have been able to find one that
was satisfactory. It has been asserted
that despite his large income he is nat¬
urally a very miserly fellow, but that is
merely gossip. I meet him occasionally,
and he is always affable. It was a disa¬
greeable affair, and to this day an in¬
explicable one. ’ ’
A man who had listened attentively
to tho broker’s story said:
“I can equal that with an experience
in my own club. The man in question
has recently died and it is only charita¬
ble to say that he was probably insane
for several years before he died. He was
Arthur Blank’’—mentioning a histor¬
ical name. “About three years ago this
man began to wear very shabby clothes,
He had always been very careful in his
dress * and this change was surprising.
He came to the club and sat around,
looking like a tramp. His linen was
ragged, and even the waiters looked
askance at bis clothes. I knew that he
had money, but it was not a pleasant
task to suggest to him that he should
get some new clothes. He was an old
bachelor, and he had rooms in an ex¬
pensive bachelor apartment house. His
condition was a disgrace to the club
and as a last resort half a dozen of his
old friends got up a purse of f 100 and
went to bis tailor and ordered a new
suit of clothes for him. They told the
tailor that it was in payment of a
wager. When the suit was made, they
p ac ked it in a box with a new hat,
shoes, collars, shirts and two scarfs and
^nt it to Blank. A letter was inclosed
which read:
‘‘Dear Blaxk— By express i send you th «
outfit that I lost by my last election wager.
“The signature was such that no one
could read it. There was some specula-
tion as to how Blank would take this
hint. Two days later he tnmed np at
the club in his new clothes, and when
be was congratulated on them he said
they were the result of an election
wager. The new clothes were too much
for him, however. He got drunk on the
strength cf them and staid drunk at the
club for the next two weeks, when he
wftg dropped from membordiip.”—New
