Upon Inspection it was found that this Arm was offering some heavy weight goods at these prices whllo the en tiro stock was held at prices much hlgliei than sold elsewhere.

As is customary on these occasions the Ledger Building is gaily decorated, and the firm receives its friends and visitors with a royal welcome. Strolling through the spacious building one sees five floors filled with clothing for Men, Boys and Children; and gets an idea ot tho immense business dono by this pop ular house. Ao entire floor of the Ledger Building is required for the Boys' and Child rens' Department, which Is tho larg est and most complete In Philadelphia. The great and thriving business ot this firm is tho result ot offering Its customer8 reliable clothing nt tho lowest prices. All the clothing they sell Is manufactured in tbclr own workshops ni.d wherever tho name ot A. O. Yates & Co. U known, I' stands tor good, honest clothing. This season they display a superb as ortracnt for Men, Boys and Children, and one marvels at tho cheapness ot such neat, tyltsh clothing. Democratic Club. A meeting ot tho Democratic Club of, Bloomsburg was held In Dentler's Hall on Friday evening last, for the purpose of ef fecting a permanent organization.

GRIMES OUGHT TO BE RETAINED, WHAT THE LATE" SUPERINTEND ENT HIOBEE SAID. KEEP OOOD MEM IM OFFICE UNTIL RET TSR ARE TO UK HAD. LONQ TERMS OF OTHER SUPERINTENDENTS. INTERESTING FIGURES. Tho School Directors of Columbia county will meet In convention in Blooms burg on Tuesday, May Oth, for the pur. pose of electing a county Superintendent ror the succeeding thrco years. Iho present Incumbent. Mr. J. 8. Grimes. is a candidato for re-election. As Is natu- ral, a fair salary holng attached to tho no. sltlon, thcrd Is an aspirant for it, and Mr. urimcs meets with somo opposition. It Is so weak, howover, as to hardly amount to an opposition. Tho arguments used against his re-elcc. Hon Indicate most clearly there Is no lust reason ror his defeat. There Is but onei He has had it long enough. Givo some body el so a chance (at the salary.) As to this: It may well bo asked. Who Is to bo tho Judge as to whether he has held tho position long enough or not? Certain ly not tho person who Is seeking tho place for the nionny there Is In It. Most as?ur- cdly not tho Individual who has nn ax to grind and who thinks ho may suoscrvo his own personal Interests by 6eeurlna the election of this or that man. Neither sliould It bo tho Irresponsible and unprinci pled demagogue whoso personal predlu- dices alone prompt him to cxeit his Intlu ence to prevent tho election of a gentle man, who, through nine years ot efficient services has given such complete satisfac tion that none, not even hla bitterest pcrso nsl enemies, nor those who are most vigor, ously opposed to him In tho present can. vass, dare utter n word against his fitness for the position. This question of fitness has not entered the contest at all except when it has been to speak words ot praise for Mr. Grimes and his administration of the school affairs of the county. Tho late Dr. E. E. Htgbce, upon hear- Ing the false report that the Department of Public Instruction had endorsed the opinion that when a Superintendent has served for three successive terms ho should be retired and a new man clcctod , said. "This Department never mado ':sh a silly announcement or declaration. Efficient Superintendents should bo kept In office unless more efficient ones aro to be had." This would seem to Indicate, beyond question, that In tho opinion ot the Stale Department of Public Instruction, Mr. Grimes has not held tho position ot County Superintendent long enough. Precedent Is a pretty safe criterion. A brief;examination ot tho record buows: That Dr. Wlckersham held the office of Stato Superintendent of Public Instruction from 1888 to 1831, four terms or sixteen years. Dr. Uigbcc served eight years and would have served 12 years or more but for his deatb. That Mr. Seely has served twenty-four as Superintendent of Adams county and is ttill in office. That Mr. Shaub of Lancaster, serv ed over eleven years and declined a re-election to become Principal of tho MUlersburg Stato Normal School. That Mr. Rodenhorn of Lebanon, served 15 years, up to the event of his recent deatb. That Mr. Knauss of Lehigh, has served 18 years, is still tn office and candidato for re-election with every prospect of success. That Mr. Weiss ot Schuylkill, has served three terms, Is a candidate for re-election and has no opposition, That J. M. Caugblin ot Luzerne county, has served four terms and is now a candi dato for re-election. That Mr. Woodruff, of Bucks county, served four terms as Superintendent of Bucks County and was strongly urged to be a candidate for another term. That.pre. vlous to this ho served nine years as Superintendent of Chester county and de clined a re-election, In a circular sent to each Director six months betoro tho time for the convention to inset. With somo modification wo havn appropriated the foregoing cart ot this article and adapted It to our purposes because we believe It meets the case at Ibsuc. Now to come right homo. Chas. G. Barkley Esq., was serving In bis third term when he was elected Principal of tho Bloomsbug State Normal School, and afterwards resigned the latter to pursue his life work, tho law. Wm. ll. Snyder, of Columbia county, served three terms and would have asked for Ihe fourth had it not been for the fact that bo promised not to be a candidate for re-election. Tho promise is evident from the following letter: Apr. 15, 1881. Mr. Editor, Dear Sir; Being in receipt ot a number of letters soliciting me to be a candidate tor re-elec tion ot County Superintendent at the next election, which I cannot conscientiously be, having said three years ago that I would not bo a candidato. I thank the f o licltors for their kindness and hope they will stand by my successor as they stood by me In Ushs.lt of the public schools. Yours respectfully. Wm. U. Bntdeb. Precedent would seem to Indicate that Mr. Grimes has not held tho position ot County Superintendent long enough. Mr. Grimes has been an efficient Buperln tendent. All .admit this. Tho one seekr intj bis place must admit It. UU friends must admit It. Tho period In the history ot our public schools, slnco they have been under bis supervision, is a period of un usual growm ana advancement la every department. , During Superintendent Grimes' admlnts, tration ot school affairs, the County Inst! tutcs have been a marked success and have been recognized by all as a most potent means of advancement. It has also been frcaucntly remarked at these annual gatherings that the geccral appearanco of tho teacher has Improved, showing con clusively that the selection and commis sioning ot teachers has been not a matter of figures ant) form, bnt a reality, reflect ing credit on the careful and painstaking ifforts of tho Superintendent. To show tho progress of tho County Institute we shall quote from Mr. Grimes' last year's re port to tho Department of 'Publlo Instruc tion. "The cntlro expenses, janitor, hall, lecturers, Instructors, etc., of my piedcces, sot's last lohtituto wero one-hundred and seventy- eight dollars and fifty cents. The receipts from the evening lectures of my first Institute were sixty dollars and seven, ty-five cents. Tho receipts of tho last Insti tute wero ten hundred and twenty-eight dollars and seventy cents. Great interest has been manifested In educational meetings ami tuey nave op, conipllslied much good, not only In the Improved methods presented, but In crcat Ing more Interest and enthusiasm In edit, catlonal work. The schools havi Improved fully as much as the Institute," Nearly every Saturday from the first cf December until the close of the schools lo the rural districts, be li engaged la holding well attended local Institutes. It Is an appreciable fact that Mr. Grimes attends the leading educational meetings throughout tho slate, and thereby makes himself familiar with the institute lecturers and Instructors. Uonco bis ability to suit the Intelligence of thoso that patronize tho County Institute. Mr. Grimes has shown marked ability and tact In securing tho co operation of the teachers and In uniting tho educational forces of the country to further tho intorcsts of education. Bupor. Intcndcndent Grimes Is an untiring worker and as such has been recognized. Ho pos sesses great skill In the way of uniting dis cordant elements and securing united ef fort upon tho part of all. Tho real power or a good Superintendent Is not so much In what he can do himself as In what he can get others to do. BupL Grimes excels In this direction. Tho real scrvlco which tho Bupt. has rendered our county does not show Itself In an array of figures as shown In statistics, nor can it bo (airly shown In the mero statement of facts. He has carried with him an Influence for good that has touched tho lives of tho children; an honest en dcavor to do right which has secured the confidence of our people, elevated the standard of educational works and made teaching more honorable. He has touched every educational factor. The Interest of tho people has boen greatly Increased; tho co-operation of directors has been more c-mpletely secured; the scholarship of r ncucrs lias uoen imnrovctl and their pro. fcssional knowledge Increased; and more efficient work has been accomplished by tln children. In a copy of the New England Journal of Education ot Jan. 5th, I88J, Dr. A. E, Wlnshlp, editor said tho following! Mr. Grimes Is a man of rare skill In selecting teachers, a good judge of human nature an effective public speaker, an Industrious school visitor, and an energetic Institute organizer and director, In tho editorial department of the Phila delphia Timet of May '87 Is a paragraph condcmmlng rotation In the offlco of Co. Sunt. It runs as follows: "The fact that Supt. Cottingham of Easton, has been in office for a third of a century and Is a bet. ter Superintendent of Schools than ho ever was before is only one of tho many that give the He to the claim that tho public Interest Is served by Bicrlficlng experience for tho sake of rotation." There are somo positions the duties of which the duties are purely clerical. As to these, rotation is perhaps, a good thing. But the County school superintendences are in another class and In filling them ex. perlcnce should always be a first consider, atlon. The Buperlntcndencyis cot a parti, san office. There Is no delegate election, followed by a nominating convention. Then aga'n Superintendent Grimes Is not n novice in school work. Ho has not only had successful experience as a teach cr In the ungraded schools of this Co , but also in tho graded schools, lie has acted as Principal of the graded schools at Lime Ridge, Mlfflluvllle, Buckhorn, Ebervale, Luz. Co., and at Catawlssa for two terms. Uo brought with him to the Superintend- ency a valuable experlenco and has added to it incessantly during the past nine years. Such a Superintendent held the position long enough? The lamented State Buperln. tendent Ulgbee says "No". Precedent says "No." All tho facts say No." Tho School Dircctors;of Columbia Co., on Tuesday, May Oth, 1890, will say 'No," emphatlcallly "No." Board of Boiiool Directors.
