GRANT COUNTY SCHOOLS.


Trusting that few items reiating
to the educational condition Of Grant
county may be interesting 20 parents
and teachers, / have CLEANED q few
facts and statistics concerning the
schools and school.work generally ;
and beg leave to submit them for Pc
rusal. / hope they will not prove
wholly vslueless.
BY way of introduction 1t may not
be inappropriate to present some
general information showing the
size, population and relative impor-
lance of the county. Grant county
ranks fifth in size in the State. Those
larger are Chippewa, Dane, Mara.
thon and Shawano. 1t has Q popu.
lation of about 40, 900; being exceed.
ed in this particular by Milwaukee,
Dane, Fon du Lac, Dodge and Win
nebago counties. The total assessed
valre Of all the property 10 $685.
900. The value of the land is s..
1875, 1888. The average assessed value
of the land is $500 per acre while
tho average assessed value Of land
throughout the entire state is $9.2s
per acre, ranging from 81 SO in
Douglas county, to s5l.o6 in Mil
waukee county. The tax levied fol-
school purposes in the county in 1875
was s52,35o or very nearly So cents
on every 800 of the assessed value.
Below is statement showing the
receipts and disbursement for the
school years ending August 8, 1875
and 1879. A comparison of the re.
spective items shows a striking re.
duction of expenditures, especially
in the matter of teachers wages
Whether this is true economy or no,
remains to be seen, and will, / think
furnish a topic for discussion at some
future time.

Frightening Invalids.'

The pupular impression, strengthened by
some scientific opinions, that consumption
cannot be cured, has no doubt FASTENED the
death of many invalds, by depriving them Of
the consolation of hope. Persons afflicted
with pectoral disease should be supported by
every assurance of cure, not alarmed by
the gloomy, forebodiag countenances of those
around. For our part, we do not believe
that consumption is incurable, and let physi.
clans theorize as they will, we have a mass
of evidence to prove that persons having all
the symptoms of consumption, cough, deep,
bloody expectora'ion, pain and oppression,
sore throat, diarrh9s, night sweats, burning
ing fever, &c, have been permanently cured
by "Dr. Swayne's Compound Syrup of Wild
Cherry" This old standard remedy is pre-
pared only by DR.. Swayne 4 Son, Philadel-
phia. Price 25 cents and 81, or six bottles
for IS. The large size is the most economi-
cal. Sold by all promnen. druggists. Sold

His appetite is improving daily; he does not

used to get up every half hour. He remarked

so well-better than he had for severa! years.
The quantity of urine now passed in the twen-
