Owing to the continued prevalence Of
smallpox the attendance at the public
schools OF Gold Hill has during the past
week fallen considerably short Of the
usual standard. Many have considered
IL an injudicious move, rsopsnins the
schools 20 soon, and. In fact. advocate
keeping them closed for the season OF
while there IL such . plentiful supply Of
smallpox about. especially among the
young people. II 10 argued by teachers
and others interested that there ID no
more danger Of catching smallpox at
school than thsreis out on the streets.
This may b true. yet Others think very
differently. Parents can do - they
please about Il. II they sss at to risk
their children at school. under the cir.
eumstanoss, they are privileged to do %.
Perhaps they might attend with perfect
impunity and perhaps they might not.
Two weeks ego the News advocated
keeping the schools closed until next
Monday. yet ' that o seems little
too soon In visw OF the recent alarming
increase Of smallpox In our midst. Al
before stated. however. the parents must
assume the responsibility. and II the
result should Be bad they viii have only
themselves TO blame In the matter.

Davis. "Years before the agitation began
at the North and the nlenacin. acts to the
institution, there was a growing feeling all
over the South for its abolition, but the Alb
oltionists of the North, both by publications
and speech, cemented the South and crushed
the feeling in favor of emancipation.
Slavery could have been bIotted out
without tie sacrifice of brave men,

have twenty, ears, anyway, to feed their

Although the eastbound freight rates are
lower than they have been for some years,
and only one-half Of what they were at this
time last year, yet the aggregate of the traffic
is but little heavier than it was twelve
months ago. The sudden reduction OF east
bound rates about a month ago to the basis
of Is cents per 100 pounds on grain, Chicago
to New York, has had the effect of stin1ulat-
! Ing shipments temporarily. During the first

lines leading East from this city jumped up
from about &, 600 tons to nearly =, 600 tons.
This boom was temporary, and the following
week the shipments fell off, and only s., sGt
tons went East by the various roads from this
city. Last week, although rates still re-

cations are that shipments will fall off still
