PERSONAL.
Mr. r. T. Melbourn completed our
&, new courthouse last Thursday, which re-
'ilccts great credit upon himself a. a mas

for tannery at thi- place Such an en-
tcrprise a, this would be Of immense
benefit and we believe one of the most
profitable investments for a capitalist in
the country. We would be glad to see
some capitalist come into our midst and
take hold of this, which to do, will sure
lv insure success.
SCHOOLS.
We are sorry to say that some Of our
best and most accomplished teachers have
abandoned their schools, on account of
the reduction to one dollar and sixty
cents per child Cannot there be a uni
form price fixed for each child 50 that
teachers may know what they may ex-
pect without taking lottery chances.
BUSINESS.
The stagnation in some kinds of busi-
ness still continues. Our lumber men
have all, pretty much, suspended opera
tions, and as result thousands of do.-
lars that have heretofore reached our
county, been cut on from US, making the
pressure very heavy, and throwing
great many, who had to depend upon
them for support, out OF employment.
The coal interests are looking up, and
our miners are shipping large quantities
daily. Il is from this source that our
county has To depend for her money, 1t
is perfectly impossible for our farmers to
sell their products or stock for money at
living prices. These times, we predict,
will he the cause of great many, who
have heretofore been making their living
through negligence and vice, take To "fol-
lowing up the plough. THE pay y,train
was up last week, relieving 10 some ex-
tent, the anxiety of their creditors. 1t
pay yed off only for August, aud not all Of
its creditors for that. We learn that
they made arrangements with some of
them To hold up their claims until the
10th, promising them To return at that
time and pay them up; but have failed
10 put in an appearance up TO this time.
Rumors are ailoat that the road is going
into Bankruptcy, but We can only hope
that such is not the case, as il would in
jure our county thousands OF dollars ...
