The junior of the REVIEW has agricultural

gratifying evidence that constituents are not

honor of a personal acquaintance with Mr.
I)., he having spent considerable tunc in this
County introducing school books. Being a
school director wo met him in u business way
and also socially. In business we found him
prompt, faithful and honorable; in company
cheerful, pleasant and courteous. We like
liiin. We want him to succeed. We recom
mend him because we think he should suc
ceed. To use a Mississippi river expression
we say " he'll do to tie to." We understand
he has had large and very successful exper
ience as a teacher; that he has taught school
to get money to go to school and in this way
has tit-ted hinwelf well for the position he
now seeks. Is this true? If so he is the
man for the Superintendencv. Wl hope the
Directors of Wyoming will do themselves
honor and the schools benefit by making him
Superintendant.
