FIRST District School meetin on next
friday evening is advertised in this is
sue. In calling the attention of the citi-
zens OF that District to the notice, we
would ask them to attend one and all,
and then kindly and respectfully suggest
that they lay aside al personal feelings
and consult only their good sense and
their duty as citizens and parents, in
whatever conclusion they may come to.
For ourselves, We are in favor of school
house and such a one as has now been
conc....dded to be build We are satisfied
with the plans adopted by the school
board as agreed to by the advisory school
committee, and are perfectly wiling that
they should build the House by separate
contracts because they could not succeed
in obtaining an offer low enough to cor
respond with the sum allowed to them
to eXpend, In one contract covering the
whole enterprise ; aud finally we are sat
isfied that the Schoolboard and their ad
visory committee are gentlemen who
know what they are about aud that they
will build the School house and not ex-
ceed the sum voted for that purpose by
the District, and if they produce satisfac-
tory evidence to that effect next Friday
eve, it io all that the district can consis-
tently ask Of them.

FORGE--MF-NOT.

EVERY good citizen should take his
county paper, this, as all our readers
know. is our firm conviction. However,
as this is reading age, few are without
from two to half a dozen periodicals, and
to this reading majority we desire to say
few words. When you are deciding
what metropolitan paper to take, consid
er the tone and character as well as the
amount and freshness of its news and
the perfection efits mechanical work.
The Chicago Post not only dif1uses gen
eral information of most desirable char
acter among its readers, but its general
course is calculated to raise the moral
tone of the community, to elevate and
advance the human race in everything
that is most priced by the pure-mindcd
and Intelligent. The Post has copsis-
tentfy pressed the principles of the r.
publican party, and the success with
which the paper has met, shows the IA.
vor in which it is held by the people who
control the destinies OF this Nation. The
proprletors of this spicy sheet have pro-
missed the people that the recent great
fire in Chicago should not detract from
the merits of the paper. We believe it
will keep pace with the progress of the
times, and will be a more welcome visi
tor in the future than it ever was in the
past. The terms of the Post will be
found in another column. They are ex-
ceedinsly low for the value received. ANY
person desiring to take the Weekly Post
and the TRIBUNE can have them both for
$500 by applying at this Office. 80 If.

1t is this: certain lot Of boys, WHO are
in the early stages of transition, Just as
the nolly-wog, when losing its tail ecom-
es half frog, have a disgusting habit OF
running after, and catching hold of every
sleigh or sled that goes up or down cur
streets. They are a spcckled lot of
young vagabonds, and yell ike a pack OF
young Indians on the war path. If they
fail to get a ride, they fling all sorts of
epithets after lac driver who has so sue
cessfully run the gauntlet, and then go
for another, team with renewed ener.
gies.
The consequences Of this pcrnicous
habit, against which we have repeatedly
expressed ourselves, have been exempli-
fed by boy named Mclaughlin, who
was seriously injured, trying to jump on

aud was struck in The face by the hoof of
a horse behind him, cutting it in several
places, knocking out his front teeth and
probably disfguring him for life

We learn from the official report OF
Sidney ID. Maxwell, Superintendent OF
the Cincinnati Merchants, Exchange
for 4 copy Of which we are indebted to
Messrs. Stephens Il Flynn. Atlanta
that the number of hogs packed last
Fall was 4,122 ,403, being an increase of
l,lJS,939 over the previous year. These
figures do not include those killed bv
farmers, or for home consumption.
which would probably increase the
number to one million more, making
total of at least 100000, weighing
gross say l,i50,000000 lbs. of fall xiii.
ing. When to this is added the quantity
left over from previous year and the
summer killing, it will swell the figures
to an enormous extent.
