Rock Elm
Miss Nealie Fox closed her school, in
the John Shaw district, Saturday the
9th ult.

highly successful term of school, ceas-
ed her labors the 8th inst. i.
Miss Lewis of the Cudd district, Els
worth, held her school ont i'll the open
air under the shade of the forest trees.
1t looked somewhat romantic to see
the school seated around on chunks
and logs studying the lessons while
the chirp of the birds and the grunt
of the pigs mingled with the whisper
ed work of the pupils. Her hobby
certainly must have been ventilation.
A ten feet log was her recitation seat.

rangements for holding an Institute

Balboa.

Even with the volunteers from HIS
! PAMELA, he WAS able TO muster only
100 men for his expedition. 4 thous-
and Indians attended them to carry
their provisions, and to complete their
warlike array, they took with them
several of those fierce dogs, which
were no less formidable than destruc-
tive TO their naked enemies.
Balboa set ont on this important ex-
petition, Sept. LIST, 1913, and proceed
ed by sea to. the territory or a Cazique,
whose friendship lie had gained, but
as soon as he attempted to advance in
| to the interior. he was retarded by
reason of the country and the DISPOSE
ton of its inhabitants. Some of the
CaZiques. at his approach. flew to the
mountains and carried off or destroy.
ed whatever could afford subsistence
to his troops; white others collected
their subjects and attempted TO OPP
pose his progress. He soon perceived
what an arduous undertaking it WAS to
conduct such body of men through
hostile nations, across swamps, and
rivers and woods, which had never
been passed but by struggling Indians.
But by sharing every hardship
with the meanest soldier, by being the
foremost TO meet every danger, and by
confidently promising great riches
and honor to his men, he inspired
them with such enthusiasm that they
followed him without murmuring.
When they had penetrated a good way
into the mountains, they were met by
a powerful CaZique who attempted to
stop them in Il narrow pass but scOrn-
ing such foe, the Spaniards quickly
put him to fight.
Though the guides had said that
the isthmuS WAS only six days journey
in width, yet they bad already spent
twenty-five in forcing their way
through the woods and mountains.
Many of them were ready to sink I'M
der such continued labor in that sui
try climate, and all were becoming
impatient to reach their final goal.
At length the Indians assured them
that from the top of the next noun
tain, they should discover the ocean
that was the object of their wishes.
President Anderson of the Universe
ty of Chicago, in his remarks to the
graduating class of 1881, told the boys
that their college course had only tit
ted them to begin the struggle Of life,
and that it was now time for them to
lay aside their rattan canes, abandon
kid gloves, take off their coats and go
to work in earnest.

Grain Is nearly all cut.

Potatoes are good, but the yield is
light.
Mrs. Craig is still sick with spinal

About a week ago chintz bugs com

but the grain ripened rapidly and was
cut with all possible dispatch. AL
though some fields were badly damag-

and probably Rock Elm will thresh as
many bushels of good wheat as ever.

hereafter depended upon 10 hold to
their party those Republicans who are
anxiously watching the encroachments
of the monopoly power, and this is a
fact That Republican politicians will
do well to ponder. While the entire
strength of last winters Senatorial
syndicate cannot be held for any par
ticular estate" for State officers, it is
a fact worthy Of remark that the
greater portion of it is claimed for
three certain ;nen for the offices of
Governor, Lieutenant Governor and
Secretary of State, every one of whom
are bankers. We rise to remark that
ticket made mp after that style will
not take very Well among the grangers
where the Republican ticket usually
receives great many votes, and that
it will find pretty hard shedding" on
its road to success. The Republicans
of Wisconsin owe it to their party to
see that none but clean and capable
men, free from III entanglIng alliances
with railway or other corporations,
arc placed upon their State ticket.
