to the ruling class, the prospective heirs to the

begin to think about corn-planting, we'll miss
our guess if they den't make business move
like haying-time. Lansing Republican.
V, e call tbe attention of all election officers
and of Republican committees and caucuses
throughout the Mate to tbe following important
facts in connection with the coming Spring
election i
First That the law creating the oAoi of
county superintendents of schools has been
repealed.
Secon l That tiu repeal takes immediate or
feet and the county superintendence, therefore,
ceases to exist from and after the nrst Monday
of- April.
Third That each township must this spring
elect one township superintendent of schools,
and one school inspector, whose terms of office
will be one year. The old law providing for
two schcol inspectors with terms of two years
each has been repealed, and all previously
elected township inspectors bave thus been
legislated out of office.
Fourth That hereafter each township will
elect annually one commissioner of highwavs,
whose term of office will be one year, and wbo
will be clothed with all tbe power- and duties
of the former Board of Highway Commission,
ers. All commissioners of highways heretofore
elected bave been legislated out of office.
