The date has not been fixed, but it will be near the last of this month, We are informed that several flower gardens were raided one night last week and several choice plants were stolen. The Editor's garden was dam aged at the same time. We do not know the parties whodid this trick, the tracks left iudioate :hat a woman waa In the party. At least there was the print of a woman's shoe, as well aa of a man's shoe, It Is a crime to steal flowers, as welt as to iteal anything else. Parties wishing flowers In deoo rate the graves of departed friends can generally get them lor the asking. Dead people may not know whut is on the their graves; but if they did know the beautiful wreaths and hotjuets were stolen, they would not rest so comfortable. If this thing occurs again, steps will be taken to flud out and puulsh the guilty parties. Our Informant tells us that he knows who the guilty parties are, and that he will give us their names for publication the first time this thing agalu occurs, Several years ago, Mrs. Settle's bed of red pluiea were stolen; also Mrs. Duckutt'sand Mra. Cruson'a, and they Bay that the feminine foot prluta were very much like those left iu the last Our Public School. Our public school wiil close today, the eight month term which the teachers were employed for having en Jed. We believe that this hat been a marked year In the history of the public school of Lebanon, at we believe Lebanon has had the best school she ever had, under the able management of Prof, G. H. Wilkes and assisted by an able corps of teachers, namely: Mra. Funk, Miss vlriggs, Mist Temple and Mr. L. A. Wiley. The Express would be glad to see all those teachers employed here for another year, but we know thia will be Impossible aa Prof, Wilkes Intends to leave next week for his old home In Kausas, where he will tfitnd his summer va cation, and then intends to go to Ann Arbor, Michigan, where he will take a two years course lu the law school But If he should decide not to take a law course, he haa been offered the prlncipalshlp of four other schools, either of which li a better paying posi tion than this one. One of them, which is in Montana has offered him a salery of about three times Jiis present salary per year. We have also been rellablely informed that one of the lady teachers and probably two of then' are to be married so It looks as If the directors will have to look elsewhere for some of the teachers for another year. It is to be hoped that tbey will succeed in getting as good we now have, but we believe that will be a hard thing to do. There has been 276 pupils enrolled during the year. In order that the patrons and friends of the school may see some thing i.f the work that has been done during the year, there will be an exhibit st the schoolhouse to which all are invited to examine after 2 o'clock today. It might be well for all that are interested lu this work to go and see this exhibit and see what your children have been doing. Tennessee. The literary closed a week ago Satur day evening.
