TEACHERS LIBRARY.

Some time ago teachers library was
established in this county through the
fundamentally of Supt. Walker and
some active teachers. Quite a large
number of educational works were pur-
chased, and the venture proved decided
success. The works are very generally
read by teachers and much good results
to the schools therefrom. But as the
number of volumes in the library is de-
pendent upon the individual exertions OF
the teachers Of the county, there is no
immediate prospect of the hbrary's grow
ing into desirable dimensions. The
teachers should receive some assistance
in the matter, and to whom can they with
more reason look to for aid than to the
county board. A small appropriation
would be great benefit to the teachers,
and would be but very light burden to
the county. There are no interests which
should be more warmly cherished than
those of our common schools. There is
no class of people more entitled to en-
enlargement than teachers. Every move
ment designed to mould the business of
teaching into profession, and which
gives promise of furthering the educa-
tional interest Of the county should re-
ceive respectful consideration. The state
annually appropriates liberal amount
for conducting Institutes and for plovid-
ing other schools for those desiring to
become teachers. The county is never
called upon for an appropriation. Would
it not be wise for the county board at its
next session to take the initiative in this
matter and give substantial aid to teach
ers making an effort to elevate themselves
in their calling? The money will be
spent judiciouslY and will assist laud-
able work

FROM the Rockport, Ind, Banner:
There is no medicine in the world which
has gained such fame as st. Jacobs Oil,
this is, however, not in the least astonish-
ing, when we consider its truly wonder
full curative powers. Mr.. f. Rodenberg,
of Grandview, called at our Office last
week and related the following circum-
stance: / suffered with Rheumatism for
over six years; consulted many physicians
and tried hundreds of remedies, but
without avail. Having seen st. Jacobs
Oil advertised in your paper, and heard of
some most astonishing cures, sent to
Rockport for bottle of the Oil, and
used it according to directions. The re-
lief 1 felt was almost electric" I got
better at once, and now there is not q
trace of Rheumatism left in my body.

THE new order of the post Office de-
partment is creating the greatest con-
fusion. Letters whose destination is
clearly known must be sent to the Dead
Letter Office if the superscriptiop is not
in accordance with the rules. A letter
addressed to Chicago will be sent to the
Dead Letter Office unless the name of
the state be OH the envelope. A ''drop
letter cannot be addressed Getty" 1t
must bear the name of the state and
post Office. If person mails letter in

though the postmaster knows it will
reach its destination if sent to Nero, still
he is not allowed to send it to that Office.
Be careful how You address your letters.

A PROSPEROUS BUSINESS.

Mr.. E. Wagner after working six years
in the woods, endeavoring to clear up
forty acres of land so as to make it avail
able for farming purposes, found that
he had taxed his one arm too heavily and
that he must abandon The idea of ever
following agricultural pursuits. Not
being familiar with the English language
and not having sufficient means to begin
the business he is now engaged in, he
opened a saloon in Manitowoc. This
was in the year 1854. In 1861, through
the assistance and by the advice of
friends both in Manitowoc and Milwau-
kee, he started small country store on
Washington street. In this he prospered
wonderfully, and in 1874 he was obliged
by his rapidly increasing business, to
remove to larger and more convenient
quarters, which he found on the corner
of Eighth and Jay streets. Here he
made general hardware, stoves, oils,
paints, glass, doors, windows and win
dow blinds specially. His business SO
rapidly increased in his new location
that, in short time, he was again CON-
PEELED to look around for a new location
where he could have more room. He
therefore made arrangements with Mr..
S. A. WOOD for the erection of a large
and beautiful block, recently completed
on the corner of Eighth and Franklin
streets and which was constructed with
especial reference to his hardware bust
ness; so that now he has every conven-
isnoe that ingenuity can devise and all
the roam he can possibly desire. Mr..
Wagner is justly proud of his successful
business career, for to-day he has the
largest hardware establishment in the
state outside the city of Milwaukee, and
there is only one in that city Pritzlaf S,
that is larger. The stock of stoves, iron,
steel, wood and wagon materials, which
Mr.. Wagner now keeps On hand Is as
full and complete IS his stock of general
hardware. His success he has earned
and his patrons are daily growing more
numerous Chronicles.
