neat-lOOking little sheet.
Our Democratic friend Isaac Glaze, of
Jacksonville, this county, was appointed
as the Committeem for the Sd District,
on the Democratic State Central Commit
tee. We have nothing worse to say of
Isaac, than that he is loyal to his party
c. C. Smith, of Columbus, was in town
last week, accompanied by his family, on
a visit to Mrs. SIS father, Col. Kerr. Mr..
S. says Washington is the livest town he
knows Of and we don't feel disposed to
dispute it. We might retaliate, however,
by saying that Mr.. S. is one of the livest
men we know of.
On Saturday last Col. YeOman received
telegram from his nephew, Fred OgIe
at West Point, stating that he had passed
both the physlc al and mental competitive
examinations, which admits him as cadet
from this district. The examinations of
late years are much more rigid than form
erly, and large proportion of the candi-
dates fail at every examination. We are
pleased to learn that young Ogle was one
of the successful. He will be the first
representative our county has ever had in
> the Military Academy
Col. Robert E. Beecher, Secretary, and
Maj. H. P Barton, Superintendent of
Agencies of the Continental Life Insurance
Company. of Hartford, Conn, arrived here

at Columbus. and spent one or two days
!, of last week. and while here were intro
duced to several of the Companies
20,OoOSand $4,000 policy holders. They
were not little surprised at the rapid
growth of our town, and spoke in special
!, terms of the Yeoman and VanDeman bus
: mess houses. A drive in the country sat
! isffed them that Fayette county could
!. truthfully boast of as good roads and pro-
ductive lands as any county in the State.
l To Educ atOrs.
Educational interests certainly center
in little Fayette this year. Prof Williams
Of Delaware, Prof Mendenhall of Colum.
4 bus, and Rev. A. c. Hirst of Washington;
t all three representing the necessary eIe.
: ments of suscess II any enterprise, have
been secured at a heavy expense for the
s coming Institutess in August. Unless VIZ
are greatly mistaken, there is not pupil
, in all our schools, not preceptOr, princi-
pal, or assistant teacher IN Ohio, who will
:. not be greatly benefited by the language
; lessons of Mr.. Williams, the experim ents
in Natural Science by Mr.. Mendenhall OF
the lectures on Theory and Practice by
e Mr.. Hirst. If these three men do theiI
duty, as all past experience says they will
> every hour will be golden, and every les
a son important.
: Membership of this institute with all it
/ privileges can be secured by teachers 0
j.. all grades, by persons who are preparin!
. to teach, by all friends of educational in
e tereats, at or before our annual meetinj
, August I'd, Sd, 4th, 5th and 6th, by address
!, ing note to the Secretasy of the Asso
y n ciation at this place.
q Now is the time to make your arrange
y ments to attend. Let nothing but deatI
- keep you away. The board of county ex
ot aminers will be in attendance, and teach
l. ers will find it matter Of advantage to at
= tend.
The law insists on the education of tn
: people, and lays heavy taxes to pay tn
IN necessary expenses. The State SchOc
ic Commissioner has issued a circular urg
e. ing the examiners to adopt higher seal
a a of grading in the award of certificates, an
in in view of these facts, it will be matte
n. of considerable loss to any teacher who
lie obliged to forego the benefits of this amt
II II al institute.
10 Make note Of the time and the plac
n secure your boarding place at least tw
f weeks beforehand and come up to Wasl
en- ington determined to make the first wee
- - in August 1875, the happiest week of yOr
of vacation. D.
