Richmond was re-elect- ed by a unanimous vote of theschool board superintendent of our school for another year. Prof. Richmond’s first year at the head of our public schools has been perfectly satisfac- tory to the board and patrons of the school. He has demonstrated that he {s not only an educator of marked ability, but possesses splendid execu- tive abilities. In his supervision of the teachers and management of the pupils no disquieting friction has reached the public and yet he is posi- tive in his rulings and enforces a due observance of all rules conducive to good government. Under Prof. Rich- mond’s supervision the Butler schools retained the high standard they had attained. We congratulate the board upon being able to retain the present superintendent and also up- on the splendid corps of teachers se- cured for next year.

She was sit ting out upon the porch in front of the jail, when she heard a noise as if some one was going through the roof, says the Lamar Democrat. She immediately jumped to thecon- clusion that it was some of the prisoners trying to break out of the jail. So she ran into the house, dot a revolver, and ran out to the east side of the jail. The firat glance served to prove that her surmiso had been correct.
