OUR LOCAL SCHOOL INTER-
 ESTS.--A SENSIBLE VIEW.

The following letter should have appeared in last weeks DEMOCRAT, but was unavoidably crowded out. The writer, after seeing the eXplan- atory article which appeared in our editorial columns last week, request ed us not to publish his communi- cation, as our article had, in meas ure, superseded the necessity of his letter. We take the liberty, how ever, of giving his letter to our read CTS this week and state as our reason for so doing, that it IS so timely, so deservedly complimentary to the school we have here now, contains such good suggestions &c., that We think the people of our town should read it. We beg the writer's pardon for producing his letter thus fate 7, but it is just as good now as when written:
 MR. EDITOR: It is moved and seconded that i've have good school" at Russellvlle, and accord ing to parliamentary usage the sub feet is now before us ready for de- bate. So I rise to make my speech.
 am not a little surprised at a letter in your issue of the 30th ult. over the nom de plume of Six. One not acquainted with the facts in the case, would certainly judge from the tone of that article, that there was no school at all in our town.
 I had not visited our school for about three months, but had never heard of it's suspension, so after reading Six's letter, and your edit orial, l 'hied me carly to the East ern suburb to see "whether these things" be SO, and found to my great qualification, Prof Doggett in place where ] had seen him several times before, with the addition this time oc his accomplished wife, busy and cheerful as could be, with fifty as bright and promising boys and girls as could be found in Ark, with as surances of twelve others this week. Now fully agree that i've ought to lay down all division on this sub ject," but certainly think these di- visions will never be harmonized so long as one portion of the communi ty ignores the laudabe efforts of the other; and RusseIlville will never assume the character of an educa tional center so long as every Six or a dozen families have their respec- tive teachers.
 submit now that brick and nor tar, and towering walls, and spacious halls, do not constitute a "good school" neither do joint stock com panies," but efficient teachers, and liberal patronage do.
 Now 1t does not require much financial accumen to perceive that the present is very inopportune tune to project costly public build idgs, much as we would like them. So offer as an amendment to the motion, that we encourage present efforts. Let us fill the house we have, and then enlarge. And if the

An old physician, retired from prac- tice, having had placed in his hands by an East India missionary the formula of simple vegetable remedy, for the speedy and permanent cure for con- sumption, bronchitis, catarrh, asthma, and all throat and lung affections, also a positive and radical cure for nervous debility and all nervous complaints, after having tested its wonderful enra- tive powers in thousands of cases, has felt it his duty to make it known to his suffering fellows. Actuated by this motive, and a desire to relieve human suffering, will aend, free of charge, to all who desire it, this recipe, with full directions for preparing and using, in German, French, or English.

 The special election for Justice of the Peace in Dover township passed off smoothly notwithstanding the polls were crowded all day long, resulting in the election of MT. J. A. Jamison for Justice. Mir. J. is possessed with busi- ness qualifications, and will doubtless make an efficient officer.
 MT. c. s. Bell of Gala Creek was in town to-day on business. After the usual preliminary, i. e., speaking few soft words to the clerk, and the issuing of the legal papers in the case, after which he made off, heading for Galla Creek. Success to you. Owing to the hardness of the times, or some other good cause the sale of marriage licenses is rather dull; consequently the dealer in striped stockings will govern him. self accordingly.

A Handsome Income for an En-
 erggtie Lady or Gentleman.

The Ohio Scale Works of Cincinnati have just completed and are now intro ducing to tue public a handsomely fin ished family scale, an article that has always been needed in every household, and in communication addressed to the publishers of this paper the propri- etors ask us to refer them to some re- liable party to introduce it for them to the people of this County. It is very seldom that new article steps so sud- denly into universal favor. House. keepers are loud ia it's praise, 1t Is al- ways ready, there are no weights to get lost or to be hunted up, is reliable, and will not get out of order. The descrip- tien of them is a handsome base sur- mounted by column in which works spiral spring so scientifically adjusted as to weigh any thing up to twelve pounds with perfect accuracy, on top of the column Is the platform on which the articles to De weighed are placed, and they have an adjustable indicator so that you can take the tare of any vessel you may use in weighing, giving you the exact net weight. Housekeepers at once see their value in weighing fruits, sugars and other ingredients used i'll presery-
  weights of purchases from others.
 The scales are made of brass, are highly polished and are finished in skillfu manner. They are very at- tractive and take the eye of every one who sees them.
 1t seems to Us that nearly every fam- fly in this county who will want ore, and is certainly d rare opportunity for some smart and energetic party to pick up quite a nice little income during the next few months. The Company has agents in other countiea who are easily making from $5.00 to $6.0O per day sell. ing them, and we would recommend parties in need of employment to drop the Ohio Scale Works.

HABIrUAL CONSTIPATION.

Us generally difficult to cure if you lead closely confined life. You have resorted to pills, but they are too strong and sickening to take all the tune. The best informed people DOW use a Saline purgative which is mild, cooling and pleasent, and for prefera- ble to pills and one that acts promptly and efl'ectually and free from pain. That remedy is Bailey's Saline Aper- tent. It sparkles and foams just like q glass of soda water, it is pleasent, is cooling in summer, and relieves hab- itual constipation, cures sick headache. sour stomach, heartburn, etc, and for dyspeptics it has no supeior. Only 90 cents for bottles containing 20 doses, which places it in reach of the mechan- ic and laboring man.

DO VOL SHAKE.

Throw aside your qunine, it effects your head to much, and cannot be re- talned by delicate stomach. Discard your pills. they are too drastic and pull down your system instead of building it up. but send for Days Ague Tonic, it will cure you permanently of all forms of chills and fever, periodical headache, neuralgia, dumb ague, etc, It produces no unpleasant feelings about the head, it requires no other medicine, as it performs all that is necessary to be done in the permanent cure of all chills and fever and all malarious disease. Chronic cases are cured at once.

MR EDITOR: You have frequently solicited an expression of views on the educational interests of our country.
 Will you give me space for responseY ? If you could inspire the people with the spirit you indicate on this subject there would soon be no lack of facili- ties for the instruction of the rising generations. A good many of our peo- pie complain of not being able to afford their children these facilities. But, sir, l think in great many instances the truth of the adage could be verified, "Where there is will there is a way" 1 wish the people, generally, could be aroused on this subject. 1 wish they could see the facts in the case. That our national prosperity cannot advance az long as so many of our children are

To the Editor of the Standard:
AS | have been thinking of my old
home, and feeling very lonely, too, the
Standard came in my mind.
This is a beautiful day here, if |
could write and compose as good as I
can think, | could tell you a great
many things that would interest you.
This IS indeed beautiful country to
look at, but it positively is not farm
er's country; at least this county is
not. Would be good grazing if could
get any raln-has not rained drop
here for four months. Had a few
very hard hail storms, some of the
hail Weighing one pound. others the
size of an apple or walnut. The worst
we had to contend with was the hot
winds of July. We had four days and
nights of those. Oh horror | cannot
describe it to you, unless you can re-
call few years and remember stand
ing by bed of hot ashes where moth
er was making soap, and before you
could get away the hot ashes and wind
came putting in your face. That is
near it. But | must close, [ did not
intend to worry your patience. I've
been thinking if you would send me
copy of the Standard I will try to
get up a club. 1t would be almost as
good as a letter from home. | have
been a reader of the Standard ever
since I can remember, and | miss it
very much. [ don't know whether
you know me or not. You seem like
a very dear old friend to us. My
father, DR.. Marvin, took the Standard

From Iowa.
CHARLTON, Iowa, Oct, 4,

CHARLTON, Iowa, Oct, 4, 1879.
To the Editor of the Standard:
After a long silence, we once more
send a few words to the best country
paper in Southern Ohio. Few of you
who read this, realize how much work
it takes to make up all the matter in
your home papers, and sometimes you
grumble, and think you do not get
your dues; but try once to fill up even
one column, and you will find it a big
task.
We were going to tell you how our
crops turned out here in this part OF
Iowa. Wheat was not a good crop, it
only averaged about 10 bushels per
acre. Oats are good, and averaged 40
bushels. Rye about 20 bushels, and
corn so bushels per acre. Potatoes
are good, in fact we are on the Boom
this year in this part of the State.
Farmers are getting out Of debt, and
before long will wear broad grin
from ear to ear; also from year to
year. Steers that will do to feed the
coming winter for market, are worth
81 cents per pound, cows d, calves are
selling very high, s to - dollars per
head, hogs are worth 81 per pound,
old corn 25 cents, new 20 cents, oats
20 cents, wheat IS to 81, potatoes 80
cents per bushel. A large average of
winter wheat has been sown, and looks
well. So much for the crop, now for
politics.
Senator jim. Blaine, Of Maine, will
speak in our town on October 18th.
We expect not less than 10000 people
present on that day. He only speaks
three times in the State. Charlton is
the last place. He goes east from
here. The Republican party in Iowa
is solid, there will be no Sinking on
election day, for they see the ''Briga-
diers" mean business, and they will
show them what a solid north means,
as well as a solid south. Politics are
decidedly lively in these parts. The
Demo-Greenbacks are acting together
in local issues, but Tuesday, the 18th,
will cook their goose. We say to the
Republicans in Jackson county, stand
up for "Uncle SAM" and let us show
those ex-rebels if they want to play
the role over again, we will be with
them, and the next time they will pay
for their whistle.
Wishing the Standard success, we
are, as ever, }. A. kEAToN.
