A WORD PERSONAL.
A large number of my good
friends have urged me to enter the
race tor commissionership. I con¬
sider it an honor, and an evidence
of esteem, but after careful reflec¬
tion I have decided that I am
the man for the place—under the
circumstances.
On one occasion Mark Twain
was asked to tak drink. He re¬
plied that he would not drink for
three reasons; 1st. That h e was a
teetotaler; 2nd. That he never
drank at that time cf the day ; and
3rd. That he had ail he could hold
already. My reasons are; 1st.
I have not enough sense to make
as good school superintendent as a
progressive county like Newton
needs; 2nd. I do not want it bad
enough; and 8rd. I have as much
as I can do already.
My idea of a school superinten¬
dent is that he should be a man of
unquestioned executive ability,
broad-minded, and with nothing
else in view but the educational
welfare of the county. And be
should not be hampered by any¬
thing else. At present the coni
missionership does not compensate
a man enough for him to give his

whole time to it, and I don’t be¬
lieve in making the place a mere
side-line to something else. The
position should be remunerative
enough to compensate a good man
to give his entire time and energy
to the work of bringing up New¬
ton's schools. Newton does not
want a mere bookkeeper, or clerk
to the Board of Education ; she
wants and needs a leader—one who
towers above the average man in
intellectual strength and progress;
one who counts ter something
among the recognized leaders of
educational thought it; the State.
While 1 claim a small share in
the honor and praise for school
work in Newton, and while I count
myself second to .rone in having
the school interests at heart, yet I
sincerely and honestly feel that it
would not be for the best interest
of the schools for me to serve them

my friends for their interest and
confidence in me, and assuring
them of my readiness at all times

Martha Gaither, (Col.) Dead
Departed this life on Tuesday,
the 4th day of June, ^ i Martha,”
our ever true and faithful seivant.
She was stricken with paralysis on
Sunday and died the following
Tuesday between lOand 11 o’clock

her knees at prayer, uncjnsetma
and never spoke afterwards.- She
left a bright and glorious record.
I cannot say too much in her
praise—always true to tmr duties,
strickly honest in all her dealing;—
Martha tvas a most affectionate and
devoted servant. In all of my
affliction and sorrow- Sher was
