We have had TO inhale a great
deal of smoke within the last week
or two. This results from the con-
version of large portion Of our for
ests into tillable fields. The destruc-
ton of our forests may yet prove IA
tai to our existence. No one who is
familiar with Meteorolpgy will ques-
ton this fact. The majority of our
farmers thinks that cleared land pays
far better than land in the wood, but
they are often mistaken, Timber is
very valuable, not only to the yege-
table products of the soil, but also to
the health and general welfare of the
human family. So we believe that
all our land owners would do wisely
to retain at least one-tenth Of their
land in the wood.
Our neighbor, Mr.. Cain Roush,
while chopping in his clearing about
two weeks ago, cut his rightfoot pref
ty badly, The wound is healing as
fast as could be expected, and he is
now able to walk little without
crutches,
The recent fine weather has ena-
abled our farmers to make quite
showing in the way of clearing up
and getting ready to plant,
The prospect for a large crop of
wheat was never better.
Those heavy frosts last week were
destructive to portion of the peach

We think that the head Of "Upper
Nine" is about level in regardto the
salary Of teachers. If your reporter
from Little Sixteen will infuse a lit
tie reason in his next item on this
subject, he may avoid some Controv-
ersy. His broad, sweeping assertions
are entirely groundless. lie don't
take into consideration the time and
means required for an education, the
responsibility assumed, the expense
of books, ETC., etc. Why don't he
reason thiswise: The carpenter with
but little learning receives from $3.50
to $3.50 per day, works six days in
the week and gets his board Free
The coal-digger makes from s. to So
per day, works six days in tn, week.
a hired. hand on q farm gets Is cents
a day works twenty-six days in a
month, or say three hundred lays in
a year, thus receiving s225inmoney
beside his board, which, at $3.50 per
week, would amount to $3.50. So he
actually receives the aggregate sum
of $685. for his labor in one year
How many teachers in Mason county
do SO wcll2 A first class teacher is
paid $40 per month. Remember the
month consists of twenty-five days,
thus making s1.S1 per day;ors1d for
four months. And if he does not
board at home, it takes about one
months wages to pay his board. So
you see that he will only hav, s120
left. Teachers on an average make
about 500 a year-a wonderful sum
to cause many taxpayers to squirm
and kick up the dust
Now, let your correspondent from
Little Sixteen make q calculation,
and if we don't knock it higher than
he ever saw a kite fly, we'll treat to
the best stogies that you, Mr.. Editor,
can find in Point Pleasant.
