B j Ippy .Re- suits Settlement W ith County Treas urer. The County Board of Educa tion held its regular quarterly .meeting, on Monday. After its settlement with Treasurers wink, which by the way was p jrfectly satisfactory as usual, tll Bo ird took up the matter of .urthcr consolidation school distruta and building of firr-class school houses a thing begun last July and carried in several instances to a successful issue in saveral townships. Representatives of two dis tricts in No. 10, seeing the good results of the consolidation of several districts and the erection of splendid houses last summer, asked the Board to consolidate theirs. It was -done and a two room building to meet the re quirements of the new district was ordered built near Bethel church. The matter of forming two districts out of Fitfk's, Cold Springs and Frog Pond is de ferred until a survey ran bo made. Consolidation of ten other dis tricts from live townships is now being worked up. , Esq. U C Coorf. who taught the first school in the new house built by the Board last summer in the Eastern part of No. 10, re ported thai people were delight ed with their house and, by pop ular subscription, had purchased and placed in the belfry a good bell. This shows how easily a good neighborhood, at first dis satisfied, can rise up from selfish views and respond cheerfully to all efforts looking to the greatest good to the greatest'numbers. Mr. Jas. P Cook, chairman of the Board, tells us that it has been ihe purpose of the Board for a year to reduce the number of white districts from 50 to 40, and erect splendid houses,, giv ing at sametimo consideration to plans for further reduction as difficulties are surmounted. The Standard is glad to com mend this effort of the Board to , a sympathetic response of the people. Districts are too nurruer-, ous and houses are too poor for good results. Th9 area of the county is t"x .smalffor 5G. white districts. though numerous streams and poor rp:ds render a perfect ndistricftng at once im possible.

Trlere js not much weeping over't&e defeat oj Senator J K Jones, ofArkansas, He has been defeated jii.theprimaries by ex Go vernorj Clark. We do not know anything about Clerk, but the defeat of one who was among the chief wreckers of a once great and respected party, is hailed atf another evidence that Democrats are regaining their senses and are ready to retrace their steps. When the party, after the, election of 1892, deserted the President it had elected and the platform' which had. been the creed of Democrats for a -hundred years, if made Jones of Arkansas chairman of the executive committee 1 and chief director of Us campaigns. Since- that t'une the platform utterances of national and Statd conventions, the speeches of the men put forward as tho mouth pieces 'tpi the party and tho editorials of tho papers re cognized as tho organs, havo beon of a character to mako men who could not discard tho doctrines in which they had boon reared, blush and hold down their heads. But when men like Jones aro sent to tho rear, hope begins to revive. Lot tho good work go on. Give us Democrats for candidates and put Democracy in tho tho .plat forms, and the voters will bo with us again. Newlon Enterprise. (old I'lisliin? the Lund Up.
