PROF. GooDNow's LECTURE.-Agreeable
to notice, Prof Goodnow, State SuperiG-
tendent of Schools, lectured at the school
house on Wednesday evening. His subject
was the relations of teachers, parents and
children to each other. Those who heard
it listened to a rare treat. The Professor is
not oEly verJ agreeable speaker, but he
has knowledge, and knows how to convey
it, in forcible manner, TO his hearers. He
has devoted his life to the cause Of educa-
tion. It can be said of Linn of truth that
be is the fright man in the right place."
We consider our State very fortunate to
have him in that important Office. Il he
desires it, We hope to see him kept there.
We are sorry we cannot give sketch OF
the lecture.
On account of the streams being up from
the recent heavy rains, the Institute was al
most a failure. Few teachers were in at
tendance. We presume we shall have the
proceedings of what was done for our next
issue.

Mantor was Immediately killed. He had
been in the service some time and was high

was at the time engaged in recruiting a

have been Captain. He was brave, true
hearted, and ayoung man promise. His

The people of Lyon county should take
some steps Immediately for protection from
the guerrillas. We have every evidence
that the Neosho Valley is to suffer this
summer, if any part of the State is invaded.
Can we not have detail of few men from
each company of militia in the county put
into active service, under pay, to act as
scouts and guards If this were done, the
people could always have notice of the ap-
proach of the guerrillas, and get ready to
meet them if they should conclude to pay
US visit. Something of this kind should
be done no,g. There is no doubt but that
the Governor would grant request to put
fifty OF seventy five men on this kind of
duty, if the people were to unite in asking
him for it, There should also be some kind
of fort or block house built in our town

In the aggregate, we have laws enough
in this State. but there is one thing still
left which calls for a legislative enact
ment.
There should be law forbidding a
person, under severe penalty, from Civ
Ing another a warrantee deed of real es-
tate, without at the same time giving
him a certificate from tie Clerk Of the
Board that all taxes on said real estate
are paid.
The utility of su, b law is at once
obviou. to any one familiar with our sys-
tenn of issuing tax certificates and grant
irg tax deeds.
A stranger comes here and buys real
estate. taking warrantee deed. Of
course, he supposes it all right, and he
promptly pays his taxes. But there
were back taxes on the land which the
giver Of the deed inadvertently or dis
honorably neglected to settle; he dies.
moves away. or becomes insolvent, and
in two or throe years. the purchaser
finds he is scooped out."-some one
has a tax deed on his land. We know
of half dozen instances Of this kind.
Again, mistakes will sometimes hap
pen through the town treasurers. A
man pays on forty, but his receipt is
for another forty. He sells his, and tells
the purchaser. it Is al right. as he sup
poses it is, and in two or three years this
purchaser is "scooped out" by a tax
deed. Under such law as we speak Of
the mistake would be discovered in time
to correct it.
1t il. true, that such mistakes need not
occur under the system Of so thorough
advertising before sale and deed as we
have, yet it is equally true that they do
occur frequently. We believe such law
as we speak of would cause taxes to be
paid more promptly, and give desirable
certainty aud stability to real estate
transactions.
