Cloverdale The revival meeting at Clover dale lias closed after a two weeks meeting and was ond of the best series of meetings that was ever h hi at this place. Tin re was fif reen conversions during the meet ing. Nine joined t lie Baptist. church and weie baptised Sunday morning The meeting was conducted by Rev Humic and Brown, two earn er! and faithful christiar.s. The school at this place lias been closen by the County School Super pntendant under the ruling of the Board of Education, where the at* tendance runs below fifty per cent to close the school. The rulfng is very unjust and if such a rule had boen applild to our schools here for the 1 tt twenty years the schools would all h tve been closed. Almost fifty per cer)t ofjouratten dance here are children whose par ents are renters and they are mnv ing almost every year and They have not as much school interest as they would have if limy owned heir farms, therefore there is no just ire in saying our children shall he deprived of school whera the at tendance falls below a certain per cent. There are parents in every community who are making sacri fice- ans working hard to give their children an education and such parsons ought to h-tv* flic >untge ment and are entitled to what is justly due them. We need com pulsory educ tion in Dade county, then ike Board ot Education could get behind that measure and force an attendance, hut it cannot he done under the present school law anp such ruling as we have had is net umservative, depriving a of bright eyed boys and gif's tbc right and priveiige due them. The Board of Education ought to recind such an act at once and let the scho >ls continue. Patron. Cave Springs Rev. Sailers is conducting a re vival here this week. W. IT.
