CORRESPONDENT.

KIRKsvILEE, Mo. Sept. IL, 'zs.
FRIEND Bon: 1 will now try to
redeem my promise to you. The
Normal opened the 10th of the pres
ent month with 800 students, and the
number is daily increasing until we
now number about five hundred.
Audrain county is well represented
in number. Messrs. Roberts, Potts,
Hewlen, Everett and Pierce are the
gentlemen, and Misses Holmes, Hew-
len and Shuts, are the ladies'.
The course of instruction here is
very thorough, the student is made
to look at the subject from the stand
point OF both the teacher and the pu-
pill. An answer to question will
not be received without we are able
to tell why it is SO.
The public schools of this place
are in good condition; they have two
large brick buildings, situated in DIFF
ferent parts of the city.
Our city sent three hundred dol
lars, to the yellow fever sufferers
Monday evening.
The Adair county fair closed a
successful session of four days last
Saturday. The display of stock was
very good, but owing to the drowtii
the agricultural display was rather
slim.
Forepaugh's circus is billed for
this place next Monday (but students
are not allowed to attend j.
Politically speaking this county is
a fraud, the Republicans and Green
hackers will carry the county. The
Democrats occupy about the same
place here that the Republicans do in
Audrain.
Aad lastly / would say any one &
contemplating attending school can
not do better .han they can IN klrks-
vie, neither as TO cheapHcss or qual-
Ity, you can come here rs cheap as
you can 90 to Martinsbnrs, you can
yet board at 81 30 per week and the
