Scarcely a we'ek passes without
published reports of one or more

of their o wn? coloiv There is plen
ty of room for comment in this
connection- by northern republican
editors.

were adopted, bet Pledger and his
dupes will find that such a scheme’
fo evade the law will not work
worth a cefft.-
Iff accordance with the legisla
tive act providing public schools
in and for Perry, our people will
decide by ballot next Tuesday
whether or not the schools shall
be established. Mayor Davis has
officially called the election. The
style of ballot is plainly stated in
the act and in the order.
We had hoped to allow the elec
tion to be held without any further
suggestion or argument from us,
but as an article from Hr. G. W.
Singleton, against the adoption of
the schools, appears in this issue,
we feel constrained to meet bis ob
jections.
In saying we do not need such a
■system of schools as this act will
provide, he contradicts without ar
gument the position assumed by
those who favor a settled system of
public schools. In saying we do
need such a system, it is only nec
essary*, as proof, for ns to call at
tention to the condition of our
school affairs during the last ten
years. Pupils have not been at
tracted to Perry, and many have
been sent from here to other
schools.
A system of schools under the
act about to be submitted to our
people will completely change
this condition of affairs.
If it were true that we are well
supplied with a public school fund,
then of course we would not need
either taxes or tuition to pay for
teachers, but the fund with which
we are supplied is not sufficient to
pay reasonably for three months
tuition. The county school com
missioners will not be interferred
with in the 'east; except that the
pro rata share of the county school
fund belonging to the pupils at
tending school in Perry shall be
paid to Ib’e treasures of the Perry
school board. The bill does not
require the board to bhild new
school houses. Those now here
can and will be used, without fur
ther cost to the patrons or the peo
ple. *
The gentlemen named iu the act
as the board of education for the
Perry Public Schools, are the
same as those now acting for the
Perry Male and Female High
School; All of them will accept
the trust imposed by the bill un
der discussion.
The board will have complete
managenxeiit of the schools, and
any difference between patron
and teacher that the two cannot
settle, Will be settled by the board
The treasurer must give the
board a bond of $1,000 for the
safe keeping and proper expen
diture of the funds, and the mem
bers of the board are responsible
to the voters of Perry, under the
law. There is no business entire
ly free from the fieccessitV of
trusting tbe faith and integrity of
others. Utterly deprive us of
faith in others, and the founda
tion of the business and social
world would be shattered, and
the entire public fabric would be
in rums. The gentlemen composing
the board are personally interest
ed in giving Ferry goo’d schools,
and are worthy of our fullest con
fidence, even to the perpetuation
of the system in filling any and
all vacancies that* may- occur.
< : Mr. Singleton goes to the ex
treme limit in every objection be
urges. He fixes the incidental
fee at $10, whereas the act says it
s hall not be less than $3.00 n*
fffore than $10. The probability
is that it will be fixed nearer the
smaller than the larger sum.
As to the objection that the' pa
trons will, under this, act, have no
much for the
Perry. fpiPS. HHHHj
The system provides the means! ^ r * Editor: Gur village has.
of employing teaches on sti’ict bus- j tosen helped up considerably in
iness "principles, and thus the
board of education can choose wi*h
greater satisfaction, and "a guaran
tee can be given alike to teachers
and patrons.
Being satisfied that, the estab
lishment of public schools in Fer
ry Will enhance the property and
commercial interests of the town,
and that the bill in question
will give us what we need, it will
be necessary for every friend of
the bill to vote “For Public
Schools” next Tuesday, and to. ex
ert every honest and legal effort
to secure the adoption of the bill.

very commendable one, and ^will j
result in mush food.if carried out.
The lodge looks after the sick,
nurses them Iff affliction, pays for

that if it does ffot touch our place
it can’t pass far to the weft o| us.
We hope to get it to eomeyaffcl get
on the old C. & M. line. There is
nearly seven miles off that line al
ready graded, and would help get
the A. & F. road to a considerable
extent, I think. At any Tate we
hope for it to do this.
In other respects oil? village is

Death of Mrs. Scarborough.
Mrs. Julia Scarborough, the be
loved wife of Mr. J, F. Scarbor
ough, departed this life on the 16th
inst., and was interred on the day
following at the family burial
ground. She leaves a husband
and three bright little darlings, one
a sweet, little babe only six weeks
old, and a large circle of friends,
to rnourff her Toss, although we
feel it is Heaven’s gain. Mrs:
Scarborough was bat 27 years bf
age, was the daughter of Mr: ——
Hays, of this county, and was mar
ried to Mr. J; F. Scarborough
about Seven j ears ago: The wri
ter will not.attempt to eulogize the
life of this noble woman; none but
one endowed with the wisdom of
theni niverse could begili to por
tray her many noble traits of char
acter, and her many 7 winding Ways.
Although not a member of any
churdb, she was certainly a loving
wife and a, devoted motherl and a
true friend to dll who knew her.
She will certainly be missed by
her husband and a largecircle of
friends. She was sick only a few
days wiieff it pleased ail All-wise
Providence to take from us our
loving friend.
There is no death! What seems
so is translation. This life of
mortal breath is but a suburb of
th8 life elysiau, whose portal we
call death.
