flowers, as welt as to iteal anything

generally get them lor the asking.
Dead people may not know whut is on

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

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.
