.-'.   ' Contrary to expectation tho Olare
county board of supervisors conjplet-
o     ed their work last week and adjourned late Saturday even though in" the
last sessions it kept Clerk   Morrissey-
at work well into the wee small hours
to get the records in shape lor the
board's approval.
■ » A change of county poor farm
policy was* agreed to unanimously.
A committee of five, consisting of
Doty of Greenwood, Sunday of Arthur, Jackson of Olare, Mills of Frost
and Davis of "Winterfleld was
appointed to, investigate improved
farms available in the county as a
poor farm and report at af special
meeting of the board December 19th.
The general idea seems to be purchase some good farm with modern
buildings thereon and pay for the
same in three annual installments.
For this purpose the county tax was
placed at 317,000 so as to leave plenty
of funds available without interfering
with the proper running expenses of
the county. All of this the sbntinhi,
most "cordially endorses and we bespeak from the personnel of the
committee intelligent and painstaking effort to promote the county's
best interests.
The sum of $2,000 was set aside out
of the county fund for roads, to be
used according to the general under
standing for main roads in the various townships. This is to be distributed pro ratio of equalized valuation, giving Olare for example S361.
The term "county printer" was declared null and void except for^the
'printing- of the proceedings of the
board of supervisors which was let to
the Harrison Cleaver. After December 31st county officers are authorized to t have their printing done
wherever they please in the county,
bills for such work to be presented to
the board of supervisors. Some
criticism is heard on this matter but
aa the sentinel has never been county printer for the past ten years we
surely have no fault to find. It is
pointed out with considerable reason
that many other counties have in recent years adopted this new plan.
Assessed and equalized valuation,
the latter with some slight changes
leaving the burden of county and
state taxation relatively the same as
lastyear,'is given herewith:

for  Needs of   Newspaper   *
ft  Office,
The sbntinbl is now" fairly settled
in its new home on Fourth street and
after the delights (?) of moving pauses long enough to take an inventory
Of things.
Our new home is a one story cement block structure on Fourth street
opposite Central Hotel. Heated by a
Olare furnace lighted "by electric
lights and connected with city water
and sewer systems it is in all its appointments adopted to the needs of an
up-to-date weekly newspaper and job
printing office. A oommodious base-*
mentunder all provides ample storage.
The mechanical department is a room
24x34 feet with Skylight and windows
providing 169 square feet of lighting
surface, The offloe* is 13x30 feet with
a small private office in connection.
A lavoratory rounds out the con-
veniencies.
Our new home, nnlike our old
cramped quarters, provides ample
room for installing equipment as the
growing needs of the business may
require. We are now in a position to
go ahead with improvements for both
our job printing and newspaper departments and changes are contemplated in the near future looking to the
realization of these ends.
We shall be very glad to have you,
Gentle Reader, come in and see us
in our new home even if your subscription is not due.
USED RAZOR ON THROAT.
arwell Hews.
John Hubel of Grant endangered
His Own Life-Will Repover.
In a fit of despondency verging on
insanity, John Hubel, a well known
farmer of Grant township slashed his
throat with a razor Saturday and
then after staying some time alone in
his home, finding himself face to face
with death, in desperation called for
help. Dr, Sanford arrived in due
time and cared for the wound with the
result that the unfortunate man is
now out of danger.
The tragedy finds its origin in Mr.
Hubel's state of mind. Having been
involved in trouble, including a trial
on a criminal charge, various things
preyed on his mind leading him to
distrust everybody in the belief that
almost every one is against him.
Saturday morning in the presence of
his wife he kept sharpening his razor
with various threats ag ainst her as
well as others. Finally when he went
out on the farm she escaped to a
neighbor's and then after going to
his daughter's in search of his wife
returned home and there alone comm-
the deed against his own life. Ab the
life blood ebbed away, he came back
to his sences with a terrible realization of his condition and wrapping a
■blanket around his n8ck went to the
door and yelled for dear life. Help
arrived and thenceforth he seemed
perfectly rational and reasonable in
his .acts and words. Fear of death,
especially, seemed to bring him back
to himself.

the mm LAW.
Important Changes Made by the
1907  Legislature.
As it seems many' paifrons of tbe
county are hot *Wel| aware of the
changes made in Ohe truancy law by
the last legislature, the important
changes are here given;
The law as first enacted read that
all children between and including
the ages of seven and sixteen must
attend sohool eyery day there is
school ik the district in which they
reside, The question arose as to the
meaning of this ahd the matter was
considered by tjie supreme court
which decided that under this (1905)
law children ovef fifteen years of age
were not compelled to attend. /The
1907 legislature amended" the law so
that now all children between seven
and sixteen shall come under the
law.
The teacher has no authority to excuse for any other cause than sickness. The Commissioner can excuse
only those pupils over fourteen, and
in this case only Upon the written request of all the members of the district board. This board can make
this recommendation only when they
believe the pupils' help is absolutely
neccessary to the support of the
family. In ho case except u_>on a
written statement from a physician
to the effect that the child is physically incapacitated for school work, can
the truant officer excuse. In short, if
the child is well no one has pojver to
excuse "but the Commissioner, and he
has no more power than any other
citizen, except as the district board
has recommended as above referred.
Under the 1005 law the Commissioner had to enforce the law, and
the truant officer was subject to his
direction. The law is now so .amen
ded as to make the truant officer subject solely to the direction of the
Sheriff. The Commissioner has
nothing to do with the enforcement of the law. In short, he has
but to se_* to it that the teachers report to him, and that these reports
be sent to the sheriff.
Only this week a patron came to
the Commissioner with the request
that he give him written permission
for his child to remain out of school
until November 1st. He might as
well request that that officer deed
him the Calkins hotel.
Teachers ought to know this law.
If they don't they should resign their,
positions or get a copy of the law and
learn its provisions at once. If you,
as parents, do not know the working
of the law, ask your teacher. If she
does not know, request the. Commissioner to send you a copy.
By all means keep the little children regularly in school, an*d if good
teachers are kept there nine months
each year, at the age of thirteen your
boys andgirls will have passed the
state eighth grade examination, und
then you can ha^e them for three
years when their help will be most
valuable to you, and the child will
have a heritage in the foundation of
an education worth far more to him
than broad acres or bank accounts.
Respectfully,
