Commissioner’s Election. An interesting session of the Board of Education was held last Saturday, in addition to the routine business of which was the election of a County School Commissioner. Commissioner Daniel, the well known present incumbent, who has filled the place so long, was not an applicant for re-election, and only Professors O. E. Ham and Lawrence Duffy stood the examination. They are two of Henry’s ablest and most prominent educators, either of whom would have made an excel' lent Commissioner, and consequent ly it was difficult for the Board to make a choice. Prof. Duffy was chosen, however. He has been identified with Henry county’s schools for the past thirty years, and is thoroughly qualified for the work before him. The term of office is four years, the Commissioner being required to give it his entire time and handle the books prescribed under the new law. Prof. Duffy is receiving the congratulations of his friends. Relief in One Minute.
