The Detroit Tribune Of Setp 5. informs lts
readers that "a rattle-snake was killed in tn
bedroom of Miles Palmer, IN Wayne township,
Van Buren, county, few nights ago" Wayne
township ia in Cass county and the item was
taken from the Cass County Republican. III
the Tribune had given credit to the source from
which it derived the information, the readers
OF that sheet would have known that Wayne
was in Cass Co. As to this item there Is no
pecial importance, and We should not have
noticed 1t all only for the fact that that paper
makes general practice of approprlating all
nsewsy items found In the county papers to
creating the impression that 1t keeps cores
pondents at all points to gather mp news, when
the fact is that it does nothing but sissor them
from thelcountry press, being very careful to
suppress anything which might disclose tho
source from which their news was dnved Our
attention has occasionally been called to the
fact OF the Tribune giving items OF occurrences
happining in this vicinity whica had moi been
noticed by tho country press. An examining
would IN most instances disclose the fact that
tho items had been Clipped nom some paper
published IN the vicinity OF tho occurrence.

ever smacked his lips over. The table
literally gr0aned beneath the weight of

the superlative degree, for
'Dire was the clang of plates, If knives, of

That mercllessly fell like tomahawks."
After supper dancing was resumed
and kept up till 21s o'clock a. m, when
we were reminded by the sweet notes of

Another Meeting of the school
Directors

The Directors OF the several School
Districts of Giles county, held their
third meeting, at the Court House, in
Pulaski, OH Saturday September 9th.
Capt Willis Morley was called TO the
chair, and II. r. Reed appointed Secre-
tary. Several matters OF interest were
discussed, among others, the length of
school terms, and the most seasOnablc
seasons of the year to establish schools.
The Convention adjourned to meet on
the last Saturday of October, (25th.)
1t is refreshing to see representative
men from all portions of the county en-
ter with interest upon the consideration
of such practical questions. How much
more pleasantly, how much more deco
rously, and how much more use fully are
the talents OF our best men employed
in perfecIing the means of educating
our children, OF developing the agricul-
tural and industrial resources OF our
county, than in wasting their minds
away in political excitement, or throw
ing political mud at each other, Edu-
cation, improved system Of farming,
railroads, turnpikes and manufactures
will do Giles county more good than a
regiment OF politicians.

T A seven page obituary upon the
death Of a most estimable man, written
by a competent and worthy friend, is
upon our table with request for its
publication. We respect and honor the
memory OF the worthy dead, and feel
honored by contribution to our paper
from the pen Of the writer, but we are
forced to decline the publication of this
article for several reasons. First, our
rules are not complied with. Obituaries
and tributes of respect are advertise
ments, and advertisements are charged
for at reasonable living rates. Second,
seven pages would consume too much
space even for a voluntary contribution
upon any subject. We hope our friends
will remember these things in the flu
ture, and not require us to repeat our
rules every few weeks.

SUNDAY School Celebration.

The Sunday Schools Of Bethany and
vicinity had celebration last Saturday
at Bethany. The schools were fully
represented, and the occasion was one
of great enjoyment. Messrs. Jno. c.
Lester and 2. w. Ewing, of Pulaski,
were invited to deliver addresses upon
the occasion, which they did, displaying
their accustomed aptitude OF Thought
and ideas, and giving satisfaction to
their hearers. We are sorry that we
did not have a full report OF the pro-
ceedings, and shall have to content ouI-
selves with this casual notice. The
crowd was RECALLED with music on the
piano, and by the Sunday Schools, and
a plenteous repast was spread in the
grove near the church.

E$- \ Pulaski young man attended
the Fayetteville Fair. With the pro-
verbal gallantry of Pulaski young men,
the one in question proceeded to make
himself agreeable to the fair fairies in
attendance at the fair. His gallantry
and good looks attrae ed the attention
of all, won the smiles of the ladies and
excited the jealousy of certain naive
young men, thus eclipsed and "sot
back" He was engaged in cOnversa-
ton with one of the above mentioned
fairies, and was just in the midst of one
of the most delectable seasons of hilar-
ity and enjoyment, when the stentorian
voice of the erier at the Judges stand
rang ont his name, indicating that his
presence was desired. Reluctantly he
went over to the stand, but the most dill
gent inquiry failed TO elicit the reason
he had been called, and he directly
determined to return TO the side of the
young lady, but here he was foiled
again, for his seat was occupied by ono
of the jealous young men. He noticed
several persons grinning at him, and all
at once he saw through the ruse that
had been played upon him. 1t was now
his time to grin, and he was forced to
acknowledge that the Fayetteville boys
were too smart for him.
