For full parti culars address, The Georgia Trad ing Company, Forsyth, Georgia. 11-3,2. Election of Count/ School Superintendent. The following letter explains itself: Hon. T. J. Brown, McDonough, Georgia. Dear sir: As you knew, Mr. Tolleson’s term of office as County School Commissioner will expire on May 7, 1912, and prior to this date under the law there must be an election by the people for his successor. Section 2 of the act (See page 112, 1911 “School laws”) provides that an election must be held not later than 60 days before this date. In order to save the candidates and coun ties expense it has been decided to have the election in each county coincident with the Gov ernor’s election. Section 14, page 107, of the act revising our school laws specifies certain qualifications in place of the ex amination as heretofore. These qualifications are four in number: 1. Three years experence in teaching, one year of which shall have been in Georgia, and the possession of a first grade license. Or 2. A diploma from a reputa ble college or Normal school. Or 3. Five years experience in actual school supervision. Or 4. An approved examination before the State Board of Educa tion as to qualification. As heretofore candidates must be residents of the county in which they offer for election and must be persons of good moral character. County Boards of education must first pass upon the qualifi cations of the candidates and their conclusion must then be for warded to the State Department of Education for final decision as to eligibility. The State Board of Education will have another meet ing about the middle of Novem ber. In order that there may be no question about fairness and justice to all, I suggest the following course of precedure: That the County Borrd of Edu cation, through its president, make announcement in at least two issues of the County Press that it will meet in November for the purpose of passing on the qualifications and eligibility of candidates desiring to make the race for County Superintendent of schools. As soon as this meet ing has been held, send the action of the Board at once to me and final decision as to eligibility will be taken here as soon thereafter as possible. I send you, under seperate cover, a copy of 1911 “School Laws.” Truly yours, M. L. Brittain, State Supt. of Schools. In obedience to the above in structions, the County Board of Education will meet at the office of the County School Commis sioner on Saturday the 4th day of November, 1911, for the purpose of passing on the qualifications of candidates. T .J. Brown, President of of the Board of Education of Henry County. 11-10,4. Good sound clean Georgia raised rye, Texas rust proof and Appier seed oats. Copeland- Turner Mercantile Company.

Full many a path I’ve tried since then Through pleasure's flowery inaae, But ne’er could find the bliss again I felt in those sweet days. How blithe upon the breezy cliffs At sunny morn I've stood With heart as bounding as the skiffs That danced along the flood Or when the western wave grew bright. With daylight’s parting wing Have sought tiiat Eden in its light Which dreaming poets sing— That Eden where th’ immortal brave Dwell in a land serene, Whose bowers beyond the shining wave At sunset oft are seen! All, dream too full of saddening truth! Those mansions o'er the main Are like the hopes I built In youth— As sunny and as vain! —Thomas Moore. FOR SALE —Hampton buggy and harness for $75.00.
