Every man is the architect of his own
fortunes. lie makes his own history and
must abide by it. If it is one that is
not popular in the section where he re.
sides, it is has misfortune, not the fault
Of those who may come in contact
with him. 1t is n Of the political
privileges of n citizen of the United
States to examine into the political
record of those who happen to differ
with him. 1t is one of the duties Of
public journalists to discuss public
measures and to inform their readers
of the political status of those who
put themselves prominently before the
people in any capacity. If the Grange
as an organization proposes to curtail
the privileges Oft Journalist, or of any
citizen in this respect, it is false to the
principles expressed in its constitution.
As public Journalists we propose to
be free and Independent. Nor shall
we connect ourselves with any organ
ization that proposes to limit any of
the privileges usually accorded to men
of that calling. A newspaper is q
medium through which its patrons ex-
pect to obtain information upon all
subjects touching their interests, and
the public Journal that allows outside
influences to turn it from this, its lcgit-
innate channel, fails in its object and
decoives its supporters.
We wish it distinctly understood
that the HERALD AND TRIBUNE will
not be run in the interest Of any par
ticular man or class of men; but that
its prime object will be to promote the
interest of the whole people, regardless
Of class or calling. While We are free
to acknowledge the Importance of the
farmers movement and the farmers in
terests, we must not forget the fact
that there are other classes of citizens
whose interests are equally important
and whose calling is equally respect
able, who have claims upon us which
must not be ignored. So far the
Grange as an organization comprises
but o small portion of the population
of the country and if it desires on Or
gan crcluSiUcly devotedto its interests it
must seek one outside Of this Journal.
We are willing to work in concert with
it so long as we deem it worthy of sup
port, but we shall retain the right to
critioise its movements with the same
freedom, as that Of any other body,
whether political, religious, agricul-
tural or what not.

What Does The MAN Meant

The Rev Mr. Charlton, of the Grange
Outlook, denies the soft impeachment that
he is a candidate for Congressional honors.
lie is, in fact emphatic in his disclaimer,
as may be seen by what follows :"Now, to
relieve us from all suspicion on the sub
ject, and to place us fairly and squarcly
before the farming community, we desire,
in this public manner, to say, once for all,
that we are not an aspirant for Congress
and would not accept the position tender
cd us. We arc bad enough, but what
would be our moral StatuS if W. should
GO to Congress!'
Touching the umo that he is asplr'
ing to occupy the gubernatorial chair, he
is just a triAe quizzical, if not cloudy.
"In some places lie remarks, 'it has been
circulated that W, we're looking to the
g~ubernatorial chair That caps the cli>
max ! When we heard that We witcd
Governor Charlton I! Why that would be
splendid, indeed! Imagine us reading
our inaugural in the presence of the as
sembled dignitariesof the State, and then
with cato -ninetais, lashlng out the den
of Spectators and gamblers thatihavc been
growing fat and sleek at the expense Of the
hard working men of Tennessee !"
Now brother Charlton, tell us what that
means. Who are these Spectators and
gamblers that You certainly locate not a
thousand miles from Capitol HIP Have
they anything to do with 'rings'' or
''close corporations" This charge is al
together TOO indefinite for the borny.Lan-
ded farmers who like plain language.
Please rise and explain. Ban

COMMUNICATION

Messrs. Editors Having been pres
ent at tho closing exercises of the School
at Flag Pond Seminary, and knowing
that you take special pains to give your
many readers The latest educational news,
| send you a brief account of the school,
and of the examination of the classes
which came off OF Friday the 18th inst.
Prof. W. L S. Armstrong, tic Principal
is a graduate of East Tennessee Universe
ty. lie has been assisted in the manage
mont of his school by Mr.. L. S. Tilson,
and Mr.. j. p. Sans.
The enrolment and daily attendance,
during the session that has just closed,
have been very large; and no doubt,
have exeeededthat of any school in the
county. The examination was creditable
alike to both teachers and pupils, and
gave ssry satisfactory proof of the
faithful andsficient work of the teacher
and his assistants md also of patient
and pcrseyering efforts, on the part of the
pupils. The exercises at night consisted
of reoi.atiOns asclomatioas ; essays; ora>
%tiOns; and both instrumental ana vocal
music. The vocal music was exclusively
by the pupils Of the school, and elected

What Shall We Dc with stupid
Rows.

There are many intelligent boys who
are thought, by pupils and teachers alike,
to be bloekheads, and in consequence or
%tyranuical treatment because they bate
Greek and Latin, or are unable to mas
ter the difficulties of grammer and algebra.
There are many with good practical minds
who can never beforced into producing
scholarly work any more than pine-treo
can be forced into producing apples; but
nature does nothing without an object
the pine>tree is of value although it bears
no fruit, and the boy would be of value
too if the teacher would DO content to
follow nature. It's .ad reflection that if
a boy has not the Gift of oratory, is shy of
the Muses4and is stupid at his books gen.
orally, hei is often gives up in despair by
his teacher as entirely hopeless he is con-
side5ed unit for any thing because he was

FLAG POND SEMINARY.

This school is located in the 18th school
District, t~wenty-scven and one. half miles
form Jonesboro'. The scholastic popula :
ton Of the district is about 500. Flag
Pond has the central school. The aggre~
gate enrolment reaches 100 pupils. The
average attendance has not been reported
for the last session, but it was very
good.
Prof. W. L. S. Armstrong, the Princi-
pal Isl graduate Of the East Tennessee
University. He is a fine scholar and cap
ital teacher. He is a young man whom
success is likely to 0 The school re
quircd two assistants. l.. S. Tllson and
j. II. Woodward wero selected by Mr..
Armstrong These are both excellent
young men. and made FIRST rate assistants,
and as such gave entire satisfaction.
Q The school closed on last Friday. The
examination of tie classes occupied the
day. The classes passed very crcditable
examinations. One not acquainted with
the facts would be surprised at the sub
stantial progress these mountain people
have made in educational matters. We
heard classes in the sciences, in the higher
mathematics, in Latin and in Greek exam
ined. We are not assuming too much
when we affirm that many schools In our
villages and towns have not nude a bet
ter showing,
In the evening, two hours were devoted
to exercises such as vocal music, %rec;ta.
tions, declama tons, compositions, %orations
DC. The manner of conducting these ex-
ercises was a little tedious. Some Of the
declarations were cery good. Two ora
tions delivered by Messrs. j. +. & L. IS.
Tilson deserve special mention. Upon
the whole, the closing exercise we're cred
liable to Mr.. Armstrong, and to the pu>
pills under his charge.
The patrons Of the school in large num-
bers attended the examination. The
achool Board, composed of w. L. Tilson,
j. b. Sans and w. Il. Parks, were also
present. In behalf of these gentlemen we
have this to say: The 18th District has
an active and efficient school Board, un>
der whose management, Flag Pond will
continue to have a prosperous school.

THE AGAIN.

In last weeks issue we notified our
readers that We should this week reply
to an attack made upon us in the
Grange Outlook and we fully expected
odo so ut length, but since that time
We have received the following letter
from the Editor, Mr.. Charlton, which
Of course, to some extent, disarms us,
and prevents our replying in such a
spirit as the nature Of the articles re-
ferred to required and deserved.
"OFFIcE or TIE GRANGE OUTLOOK, !

itorS.-Allow me to say that l had not
see the action Of the Washington
County Council wher l penned the two
articles with reference to the HERALD

so. In view, therefore, of the action of
that body deemitm my duty to withdraw
any and all illusions made to your
course in the premises. The Council
has acted with marked prudence and
wisdom, and the effect upon our "Order''
in your County, can not be otherwise
than beneficial. My aim is to act in
harmony with the order, &C., it is for
this reason that l have regarded it as

There are some expressions however
in the articles referred to which require
correction. The Oulook says in speak
ing of the Editors of this paper:
"They are both Grangers," &c. This
is a mistake, but on honest one, no
q doubt. The writer of this and all for.
mer articles on this subject, while in
sympathy with everything that tends
to the welfare of the farmer, is not a
Granger, and never has been; and if
anything would prevent his ever be-
coming one it would BIO some express
ions in Mr.. Charlton's articles.
