Rush ton told Capt. Mack upon his return that he was just obligea to see his family j and that he made no attempt to go | further than his home.

Mack being of the opinion that Rushton might want to make another ! visit to his family soon. !

To the County Supt. of Education. Dear Sir:?I send you, herewith, a copy of the Attorney General's opinion as to the appointment of school trustees. Section 1210 of the code was amended in 1003, 1901, and 1905, and the contradictions in the several amendments could not be harmonised without this ruling.
