AsA-{s
DURFEY-At her residence, at Buffalo Grove, in
this county, Nov. 18th, 1870, Mrs. SARAHJ. DUR
FEY, aged Al years.
ERDMAN-At her residence, in Greeley's Grove,
MARY. wife of HENRY ERDMAN, aged Ut years,
and months.
BY her sudden and unexpected death we have
lost one much loved and honored by all who knew
her. The pride and JOY of a happy home, good
wife, a tender and loving mother, sympathizing
friend and neighbor. has fallen by the hand OF
death. The husband and four children sustain a
heavy loss; the aged father. many hundred miles
away in the home land of the Empire State, will
mourn the loss of his daughter too frail to linger
long amid the storms and shadows OF this earth
life God tenderly took her to bloom forever In
the sunlight of His divine and holy home, joined
to the companionship of a mother and brother
gone before brother and a sister have one
more tie to bind them to heaven. We mourn not
as those who have no hope. Her dying testimony
Jesus is precious TO me now" Il shall meet
nv mother in heaven 'Meet me there toO"-will
come like an angel voice from that heaven nome
to cheer the husband in his lonely hours, brighten
the life of the children, and WOO the hearts OF the
brother and sister and bind all with the silken tie
and golden chain of love to the throne of God in
heaven For many years she had been member
of the NJ. Z. Church. Peacefully and quietly she
fell asleep, loved by large circle of friends. Hell
funeral was attended at her residence, Jan. 2sth
and by her request, services by the Rev. Mrs. E.
stalker. pastor of the Christian Church.
Spirit pure, gone to God,
Lay her form beneath the sod,
Where it will in silence sleep,
Vail. an .els vigls keep
Round her tomb.
In that sad and lonely home
How they'll miss their loved one,
And they'll ofiimes long to press
Her form in fond caress,
And they'll weep.
Fast asleep to wake above.
In the angels home OF love.
Where starry crown OF light,
And a spotlcss robe OF white
Waited her.

Schools and Taxes.

We are happy to inform the citizens
and teachers of Liberty township, that if
the present tax, now due, is paid into the
county treasury, the teachers VIII get
their money some time in April, or when
drawn by the Township treasurer. We,
the citizens of Liberty township, feel
proud that we are in so hopeful condl-
ton in regard to the school fund, as we
have for two years been somewhat EN-
barrassed financially. 1t was said few
years ago that Liberty township bore the
heaviest school tax Of any Township in
the County. We know not what other
Townships have done for some years
past, but though the citizens of Liberty
township have been somewhat burdened
with school tax, they have not groaned
very loud under the burden. We find
from the books Of the District Township
that we can reduce the school tax to some
extent and have Il small surplus on hand,
which will not offend any man that pays
taxes. We are also happy that our schools
are fourishing. We think that we have
an industrious class of teachers. They
are not Of that class which has the mighty
dollar always in view instead Of impart-
inc obstruction to their pupils as they
should do. Liberty township is awake
to her best Interests in regard to educat.
ing her children. | thInk mat Nv WI"
not complain at any -amoun. OF scho'"
tax Justly levied for school purposes. Al
least have not heard any man complain
of tax when he knew how the money was
to be applied, but the disappointment OF
money. Therefore officers Of the school
board should be very careful in repre-
scnting the people. Let each Sub Direct
or ask the people how long term of
school is preferable, and other business
also. In a great many instances they
want to represent themselves, OF in other
words say they don't care what the PEG
ple want. "Hpse men are not the repre-
sentatives or the people, but of them
selves.
We hear Of spectators complaining
but think that they have no right to 40
SO. Poor people come here and settle up
the country and improve it. Consequent
" the value of the land advances. They
don't know who owns the land joining
their own, but they have families of chill
dren. They pay taxes according to the
value of their property; they toll ana I'M
prove their lands The Spectator does
not improve his but improvements go on.
Their land rises in value without their
spending anything. For this rise or gain,
surely those spectators ought to ne
made to bear heavy school tax, for this
is all we get in return for the rise OF their
land caused by our labor.

CRIME AT JEsUP-By some means not
received intimation last week that on Sat
urday, attempts would be made by one
or more roughs, who have been hanging
around the place for some weeks, to break
into and rob some Of the stores. The
plan included, as we are informed, the
blowing up of the safe in Laird Bros. es-
adjustment. Sheriff Davis and Marshal
Shipley were summoned to Jesup on the
evening in question in order to make
sure of the detection Of the guilty parties.
For some reason the safe blowing enter
prise was abandoned for that night, but
the officers kept a vigilant eye on one
Bill Cummings who was suspected to be
at the bottom Of the villainy, and the
chief operator. About 8 O'Clock in the
evening Cummings entered the store Of
r. F. Kenyon, and at il moment when Mr..
Kenyon and clerk were in the back room
stole vest off the counter and left the
store, little suspecting that the eye of
Deputy Sheriff Brace was on him all the
time He stepped into a passage and
taking off his coat and vest, replaced the
latter with the new one. Cummings then
re entered the store and upon second
opportunity selected" a coat, and con
cealing it under his large blouse, left in
company with one John Norris. Before
they got across the street they were halt
ed by Deputy Sheriff Brace and demand
to surrender Cummings was not disposed
to quietly submit, and made some hostile
demonstrations, but the drawing of a re-
vover by the Deputy and the appearance
of Marshal Shipley and the Sheriff on the
scene induced him to submit. Cummings
and Norris were both taken into custody,
brought to this city and lodged in jul
On Monday morning they were taken be-
fore Justice Crazy for examination. The
result was the commitment of Cummings
IN default of $500 bail and the discharge
of Norris, no evidence Of his completely
being adduced.

cheerfuliy print anything on the other
side of the question:
Mr.. EDITOR In your paper Of Janu-
airy 9th, Mr. Webb of the Teachers Col
umn, speaks of the Jesup graded school
that all seem pleased with it. Now this
is sad mistake, for there is not one sat
istied with the instructions received by
such grading as has been done here in
Jesup. To give you an idea Of the per-
formances in grading; the oldest scholars
and most advanced were graded to the
fourth grade, this was the highest grade
allowed for those who have about finish
ed up Practical Arithmetic, and scholars
who never studied either arithmetic or
grammar were also put into the fourth
grade, Especially if their parents were
sub directors) and the limit to the advance
ment in the fourth grade lin arthmetic)
is simple division. This is done under
the supervision of our able Principal.
You may wonder how SO able principal
fills up his time l will tell you: He
drills the school ON what grain is grown
in Iowa, what are the best potatoes rails
ed, who has raised the best pumpkins,
what are the best kinds of summer and
winter squashes. names of the birds, dis
tances from Jesup to Independence. from
Jcsup to Raymond, &c. He also drills
them on flowers. Our able Principal be-
ing great talker puts in full time on the
above topics. Now this may be music to
him, but it is ruinous to our scholars.
Some of us have children who will soon
have to go for themselves Imagine if
you can the feelings of parents seeing
their money sQuandered, and the time OF
their children taken up and no advance
ment made b.
