fall blowing, preparatory for sowing
wheat.
We had dashing rain on last Sat
urday, which washed the roads out
very badly, and gave our Surveyors
several days work, although we no
tice some that have not performed
the work yet, which we think it
would be well to do
We hear that your correspondent
has been requested to say something
in regard to our Sabbath School
When we heard it, we remarked that
we would like to if we knew what to
say. By the way,-it is in splendid
working order, under the supervision
Of Mr.. D. Armstrong, who we believe,
from his nodts operandi, understands
his business; but we believe that it
could be greatly improved by the
presence of our worthy minister oc-
casionally. We do not believe that
it is right, that he should wholly and
entirely spend his time with that
end of his church.
Miss Mollie Roush, of Ravenswood,
has been visiting friends and rela-
tives in this bottom during the past
week. Mollie is as pretty as ever,
and by the way, attracted the atten-
tion of few of the gents of this
place. We feel sad as we say, she
has "gone home again"
On last Sunday we were made sad
by the sad intelligence of the burn
ing of Bro. Hcssen's house, property,
and all he possessed. We did not
learn how it caught fire. 1t was sit
uated on Capt. Adam Taylor's farm,
near Mr.. Crochet Beagles'.
The new Board of Education will
reduce the teachers wages, we fear,
to satisfy few farmers who do not
want to forward the cause of educa-
ton, or are not in favor of free edu-
cation, and who do not know, merely
because they do not want to know,
the cost Of the teacher in fitting
himself for the position. There are
such men existing, Considering the
acts of the Legislature last winter,
if the wages is reduced there is no
teacher that can prepare himself
with the expectation of remaining a
teacher he only Gas some do) will
use teaching as a stepping.stone to
something higher, where he is better
paid for his labor. We only hope
that the Board (for we know that it
contains intelligence will sustain
the schools, and endeavor to forward
the cause of education, the great
moral lever which moves the Uni,
verse. We may say something fur
Their on this subject sometime in the
future. ALPHA.
