")Si:ds And Miissoiis.' Having resigned my position as Co. Superintendent of public instruction, 1 desire to sincerely thank my friends for their loal support at alt times, and of the manv encouraging words that, have been olfered in commemlaUnn of my work; while all these will tie cherished in my memory for years to come, I feel that the great work, that I have just taken up. and intended to devote my whole attention to, is not separated very far from the great work, that I have just given up. I can t say that I am fully satisfied with the results of my educational work, but considering that I could only give il part of my time, I feel that the standard of our teachers are belter than thev were years ao, and that the schisil 1st irds, and patrons more fully appreciate the efforts put forth by them than ever before. It was my one thought when I first accepted the nom ination lor tlii'. responsible position that if I was elected 1 would build up the ed ucational work of this County if possible and if words from others mean anything I luva partly accomplished what 1 started out to do.
