The friends of Deacon Hlarris, edi tor' of The Clinton Chroniele. are sor ry to learn that lie has been sick for several weeks andi has not been able to peroiforin Ili duties as generalIssino of Clinton's leading newspaper. The Deacon worted so hard during the Inl fluenza epidemlie that he forgot to be troubled withI that disease, but after it was all over he develoled a few symptoms of it and got sick anyway. In his absence the paper has been pih lished by his loyal force and they have done well at it.

We recommend that our representatives have a law passed to this effect. We have visited the county home, Jail and county chain gangs and are glad to state that they are all kept in as good sanitary condition as poss ble tinder existing conditions. We are glad to note that the roads of our county are being scraped and worked as speedily as possible to be (lone with the present available fore es. In this connection we would 'recommend that 'the commissioners appointed and who have in charge the exi)Cnditure of the funds arising from the sale of bonds, give due and care fil emsideration as to the needs of tle cross countt y roads. As to the public schools of the county we report that they have made pro- ress along educational lines, and wi le interrulted in their work dur Ing the last scholastic year, on ac eonunt of sickness which was prevalent amongst both the teachers ani pupils. yet we are of the opinion that good co-oPerative work was done; that our system. so far as we are infornietd. is aL prioi'essive one. With tle compil sory vdiuentional law now in force and effect we feel that great strides along rog ressive edueattional linies will be made in the ntiali futuile and a new era will dawn upon us in this work.
