nant He said that it must be recollected
that there had been in the last year shrink.
age of 10 per cent. in the currency value of
gold, and in four years shrinkage Of 40 per
cent, and that this was felt at the North even
more than at the South. As proof of this,
he mentioned that few days ago he had oc.
casion to investigate the securities, of the
Home Insurance Company. of Charleston,
which company had two years ago invested
$3.50, 900 in miscellaneous Southern securities,
He found, on examination, that the shrinkape
on these securities had actually been less than
if the investment had been made at that time
in government bonds. And that the contrast
with miscellaneous Northern securities was
even greater, for if the investments had been
made in Northern securities, then considered
frst-class by New York 6nanciers, the shrink
age would have been from 33 to so per cent.
greater than it was. In fact, some of the
Southern securities had actually advanced in
value, notably city nontaxabe bonds, which,
at that time, cost from IS to 20. and are now
worth 80, and State bonds which cost so and
are now worth 70. Per contra, he mentioned
New Jersey Central Railroad stock, which,
year ago was quoted at 1923, and is now down
to 81, while other first.class Northern railroad
securities have fallen off from 80 to 80 per
cent, while many of the largest life insurance
companies have been driven to the wall BY
the shrinkage of values.
In conclusion, Mr. Williams, thought that
we did not have such a very bad financial
condition to begin with, and that confidence
being re.established, we would soon make
marked progress, and although we must not
expect too much yet, State securities in the
last ten days had gone up from 63 to 81 and
even 70, and the indications were that the
improvement in our affairs would be gradual
but certain. ..1 I'D.

Mineral Resources OF Kentucky.

Kentucky abounds in rich farm lands
that may be purchased at reasonable
rates, but which are but little known to
the outside world. They are not known,
simply because no concerted nor well-di>
rected effort has ever been made to dis
seminate intelligence abroad respecting
the unsurpassed natural resources and ad-
vantages possessed by Kentucky. Peo>
pie are forever talking about the great
West and the opportunities presented for
thrifty enterprise beyond the wide prai-
ries; and, yet, right here in Kentucky
there are as inviting fields as were ever
offered to the fortune-hunting emigrant.
The current Of emigration, however,
has never turned toward the borders Of
this Commonwealth. Kentucky has
stubbornly refused TO adopt the agencies
that have been so proftably employed by
the States OF the progressive West to in
crease population by immigration. The
State has been comparatively idle and in
different on the subject, while her sister
Commonwealths have been vigorously
pushing TO the front every inducement
that could be presented to win the atten-
ton of tie ever>growing througs that an

and Kentucky must imbibe the spirit Of
the age, or forever linger in the rear.

In silent homage to the skies

A thousand memories forth do rtnrt,
Long hidden pictures in the heart
Revealing.

Or treasured tuft of red Glove pinks,
Or heather.

Awaking

Half gladness;

my duty as a teacher to let my voice be
heard with those Of my co-laborers who
are now in the field striving to Danish ig-
norance from our land. think il the
duty Of all teachers of our common
schools to embrace. and make good every
opportunity Of storing their minds with
the scientific literature of the day, that
they may be more suitably qualified to
fill with honor their several stations az
teachers and instructors.
II is right for all teachers 10 attend
our county Institute when we have reas-
ons to know that it will be properly con-
Quoted. and at very email expense TO
each teacher. We believe tina. every
teacher should be willing to contribute
something for the profession, bnt not an
enormous sum. II is not right for the
teachers OF our county to pay Of their
hard earnings fifteen or twenty dollars
per diem, for some big man to come
from a distance on purpose to display his
knowledge. We believe the teachers
know more fully the wants and necessi-
ties of the people and children of the
country, and that they (and if necessary
with the assistance Of some faculty. at A
reasonable expense) can conduct an In
stitute that will be OF incalculable value
to the teachers, and people Of the whole
county. Then fellow teachers let Us open
our eyes to justice, let US wake up to
sense of the great responsibilities resting
upon US, and while viewing the great
good to be accomplished by, and through
us; as teachers, let us act wisely and ju-
diciously, and be instrumental in advances
ing The interests OF our county. Let us
come together in accordanee with the
call of the Commissioner. with hands ever
open and hearts ever ready to dispense
that knowledge and information which
will not only rebound to our own inter-
ests, but viii enhance the interest PROS
perity and welfare of the entire commu-
nifty. rrr-L r-..s.lr sEs-E
The dark and mystic clouds of igno-
rance and superstition are in a great
measure to be removed by and through
the instrumentalilies Of our common
schoefs, and it behooves US as teachers to
strive with energy to keep pace with the
advancing strides Of scientific inquiry.
Then let us have a grand rally, let every
teacher in the county come out deter
mined that peace and harmony shall
rule throughout our deliberations, and
my word for it We will have a meeting
long to be remembered and will inspire
our minds onward and upward TO higher
usefulness in this life L. +. Tuscan
