For to divide them per capita will enable schools for to run longer the schools v hues, tho schools for run cheap- So far being just, this amounts to a discrimination against the white children. This being so, we cannot tho while people to increase the school funds in any way. The demand for a remedy is and urgent. should like to sec the real question in the utterance con- by Court.

This fall lie will Hook an acres and proposes to continue this yearly until he has one MM in trees. Mr. Clark says fortunes are being made in by cultivation of the peach and he can reason why they cannot be profitably raised on his farm. If their shipment prove unprofitable at a small out- lay a canning factory can be built, and are DO canned goods that meet with ready sale than peaches. We recall several years ago we visited his farm and saw the peaches we had ever seen In this hope Mr. Clark's experiment may prove profitable and that more of our farmers will induced to em- bark into the ion of fruit.
