aae having a boom in this country, es
pecially stock cattle. Everyone is go
ing into the stock business aud I be

NEXT YEAR'S TEACHERS.
At the regular meeting os the school
board Monday night tho teachers were
elected for the ensuing year. It was
decided that thiee teachers be em
ployed, the principal to be paid $50 and
the intermediate and primary teachers
$30 per month. Prof. W. M. Ciich
ton was re-elected principal, Miss Min
nie Elliott was elected teacher of tho
intermediate department and Miss
Mellio Minick teacher of the primary
department.
Prof. Crichton did exceedingly well
last year, considering' the fact that
only two teachers were omployed. He
has a fine education, has had many
years' experience in school work, and
in addition to teaching four or five
years in this county was for four years
county superintendent, so he is 'not
only thorouphly equipped so far as ed
ucation is concerned, but ia also per
fectly familiar with the school work
In this county and district. Witli the
able assistance of Misses Elliott and
Minick he will make tho Nemaha
schools second to none of equal grade
in tho county.
Miss Minnie Elliott graduated from
the Nemaha schools In 1803. She has
taught sahool since that time until last
year, and Iuih given good satisfaction.
She holds a fine certificate. We have
no fears of her success in our interme
diate department.
Miss Mellio Minick was a graduase
from the Nemaha schools in 1804. For
two years she has been toachlng in
western Kansas and eastern Colorado,
and the patrons of the school were so
well pleased with her that sho waa re
elected where sho taught last year, at
an increased salary. Sho will succeed
here iu the primary department, with
out a doubt.
Wo think tho school board made
good selections for the three depart
meats, and the choice appears to giro
satisfaction to tho majority of the pa-trous.
