has been in existence only about fve
months, and yet makes an exhibit which
must satisfy its stockholders that it has
received hattcring share Of public favor.
Although the extraordinary expenses incl
dent to starting new banking institution
are included in the report, and the interest
accrued on its United States bonds are not
embraced in the account, ii still shows an
amount of net profits which must be graft
fying to all interested. The amount OF

benefits it has conferred on the business
community. Recommending after all our

depression than our city had ever cxpc-
rienccd-it has already done 50 we'll, may
we not with certainty predict for the bank
a most prosperous career IN the future.

Every man. woman and child in
Mineral Point is Interested in having good
Schools, and we believe every one will ad-
nit that there is room for improvement
upon the present condition Of the Schools
in this city. 1t is not our purpose to find
fault with our Schools, or those having
them in charge. for We are not prepared to
under the circumstances. But tha. they are
not what we should have we are free to ad-
nit. There is no reason why Mineral Point
should not be provided with as good Schools
as any village or city in the State, and yet
we are sorry to say we are far behind many
of our nei@hboring villages in this important
matter. We have plenty Of children who
need a higher grade Of Schools than is now
provided, and who viii soon be sent TO other
places for Education if thee are not provided
here.
4 movement was made few months since
by a,,me Of our citizens fer "a Seminery, and
It was understood 4 sufficient amount Of
money could be easily raised for that pur-
pose. but rs it was thought by some that
legislative action was necessary before per
fecting the arrangement, the matter was
deferred for the time being. As our State
Legislature will be in session few weeks
hcr>a We deem it advisable to cail the at
tc alton OF our citizens TO the matter that
they may take the necessary steps at an early
day for proceeding at once IN SO important
il matter Let rs wake m 10 oar own inter
es,s and set ourselves TO work at once in
securing such Schools IN Mineral Point as
will attract others 10 our city instead of
driving away those now here. Our Public
Schools are said to be al fall, besides three
or four private schools that are well at
tended and yet we see large numbers Of
children in our streets not Yet supplied
with school privileges.
Now is the time to take this matter in
hand. ana when the ball i once in motion,
let it not stop till We can boast of Schools
a. good as any in the State.
