SPRING VALLEY.


A young girl of tender age at Christ
Larson's.
Minnie Horstad. of River Falls, will
teach at Spring Valley, the coming
summer.
Amelia Adams will teach the sum-
mer term of school in district No. L,
commencing May 4th.
Prof. Borst met with the members
of his recent vocal class ut this place
Friday evening. the 10Th inst.
Last week the JOURNAL made us say
'Spring Valleyises,' - when Spring
Valleyites is what we meant to say.
In the Reed district the past winter
Oliver Reed, VIM. Scrichfeld, James
Kinnett, George Kinnett and Frank
Chapman attended school every day.
Jno. A. Martin has been removing
the past week from here to River
Falls. Mr.. Martin has been q prom
inent citizen of this town The past
ee years, and we regret to part
with him, but our loss will be River
+ Ills gain.
Some of our citizens in the southern
part of the town are taking an appeal
from the determination of the super
visors IN refusing to create a joint
school district of Spring Lake and
Rock Elm. We suppose they are ILL
huenced solely by desire to be more
convenient to school. but it looks lit
tie singular that some of them are
willing to send their children two
miles to ,ttend school in Rock Elm,
when they can attend Il school within
one mile in Spring Lake, and also that
they have been sending their children
these many years 90 a howell, dignihed
with the name of School house, and
never discovered that it was inconven-
lent till the district voted to build u
new school house. We predict the
State Supt. will sustain the action Of
our Supervisors.

REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC
TAX LEVIES.

The State tax levied by the legisla-
ture of 1880 is 1853, 900. and these fig
ures have been taken by the Madison
Democrat as text upon which to base
an article to prove that the State
tax has been greatly increased of late
years, without regard to what are
termed extraordinary expenses, for
which it holds the Republican party
responsible. The Democrat gives the
State tax levied by the legislature dur
ing the past six years rs follows:

talks with Secretary Sherman. Upon one
occasion ia particular the talk was a very
frank aud freq one, Asa matter Of course
there were no witnesses present; but
enough has been said By both since to
give the exact pprport of the talk. Gen,
Garfield, 10 so many words, said to Secre
tary Sherman that he would be glad to
have him remain at the head of the treas
ury department If he should change his
mind about the canvass for the senate
Secretary Sherman assured Gen. Garfield
that ho was very grateful to him for his
kind expression of opinion. He also
dwelt upon the fact thut bis feelings
toward the president elect were of a
friendly eaa=aeter, and that his deter
minat;on to persist il the senate
rial fight was not oecssioned by
any personal motives antanogistio to Gen.
Garfield. He then announced, 10 a clear.
positive way, that he had entered the
ssnstosial fight with an earnest determI-
nation to go through to the end whatever
might be the result.
