PERSONALLY. Fletcher Barrett, young man
who went from this neighborhood to West vir-
ginia about two years ago with his father, and
has been engaged in attending store, assisting
in running saw-mili, and keeping the depot
at Burton, on the B. 4 o. r. R., by his close ap-
plication to business, and shrewd business tact
has attracted the attention Of Garrett, the
President of the Baltimore railroad and he has
lately be rendered the cashiership of the Com
pany. and viii soon enter upon the discharge
Of the duties of the position.
Mr.. Barrett, though a young man, Is possessed
of those qualities that certain to attract the
attention of men who are in search of clerks to
I'LL responsible positions. He is Q strictly tenn
perate and religious young man with pleasing
address and Industrious habits, who will give
satisfaction to his employer. Such men deserve
success. and If our young men generally would
follow his example, instead of cultivating habits
and developing characteristics that give them
reputation in the bar-room or dance-hall, we
would have fewer Of them loafing about the cor
ners complaining thac they have nothing todo.

an article in the Educational depart
ment Of the Chronicle, some weeks
since, from one who signed himself, lol
herself), "A parent" which contained
some valuable advice for teachers, and
suggested to my mind some thoughts OF
the relations of parents and teachers tc
each other, and to the school. 1t is nee
essary for complete success in any busi-
ness or profession, that men prepare
themselves expressly for their work
with more or less previous study and
observation; and this is much more
needful with the teacher from the very
fact, that no amount of study will pre-
pare him perfectly for all the emergen-
eies and difficulties with which he will
meet in the faithful discharge of his
duty. He should be as well prepared as
study will make him, and yet he will
find exercise for all his faculties in prop
erly teaching the young idea how to
shoot. He should enter upon the work
with the intention of making it life
work, and then labor to improve himself
in and for it.
But allow me to suggest that close at
tentien to this subject should not be left
entirely to teachers. Parenst, surely,
have as much st stake in this matter as
teachers have; and the success of public
instruction depends much upon the ac-
ton taken upon it by parents.
I 1 ann glad that there are some persons
who take an interest in the manage
ment Of our schools, without waiting, as
is too often done, to have their interest
excited by the punishment of their chill
dren for misconduct, and then only
show interest enough to make disorder.
hope true interest in our schools will
continue and grow, and that our teach
ers will have the hearty sympathy and
cooperation Of such as the author of
the article previously referred to. To
such persons, would say do your duty
and then lsOk for the teacher to do his.
Visit your school and show your teach
er and scholars that you feel an interest
i'm it. Inculcate submission on the part
Of the scholars to the authority of the
teacher, and show no favor to any ex-
hibition of insubsrdination, even by
way of q joke is too often done without
any intention Of mischief, but seme-
times with very mischievous results.
Parents and teachers have the same
class of persons to deal with, with this
difference, parents have their children
with them from infancy, and have them
every day, and the year round, teachers
have them five or six days week, for,
from three to eight or nine months a
year owing to the number and length of
terms taught by one person: parents
have the limited number of their own
family and these have inherited more |
or less of their own character and dis
position, teachers have the children of
the district, coming from all kinds of
hsme Influences, and Of all grades of
character.
Ifparents will consider the opportu-
mites for government within their reach
and th0se Of teachers, and then refer to
their own difficulties, 7 believe it will

CoHPLnGENTARY.-The following is an extract
hom the close Of a business letter from q lead
ing citizen Of the county. It is really gratifying
to us to know that we are succeeding in making
THE CHRONICLE acceptable to the people of the
county, and when we receive letters from the
kind of men this one comes from. so explicit in
its declaration, we cannot be mistaken as to
the acceptibility Of the paper. At have been q
constant reader OF THE CHRONICLE for sixteen
years and have never seen it SO well worth its
cost a. at present."
ADVERTISING is merely making an extension
Of your shop front in the newspaper You dis
play your articles in the window where a few
hundred nee them, and in a newspaper you
'enumerate what you have fer sale and thou
'ssnds are thereby attracted to your store. THE
CKzoNIcLE is now the best advertising medium
in Belmont County. 1t has the largest circula-
1ien Of any paper in the county; has its adver-
tlsements ali classified and placed under appro-
pirate headings. and no advertisements placed
on a page where there is no reading matter.
