A sample of tomatoes left with us Ny
MIR. d. G. Smith, demonstrates to our SAT-
isfaction that lie is not only an excellent
gardner MS we'll us farmer, but conclusiveiy
proves that our soil is capable of produc
ing superior quality of vegetables. Sew
cra varieties of tomatoes were shown
which for size, flavor and delicacy are not.
equalled by any imported. There is no
reason why our home market should not
be beautifully supplied with all varieties
of garden vegetables.

Advertisers should act honestly with the
public. We mean by this that if a business
man announces through the columns of a
paper, some special bargain or attraction,
he should avoid cxaggeration. Many do
not do this, but through the newspaper
promise much more than they intend to or
can perform, thus dcceiving the people and
proclaming themselves unreliable. The
only honorable and paying plan to be
adopted in advertising is, to tell the public
exactly what you will and can do and no
more. 1t is far better to promise even less
than you can perform, than TO make a lig
parade, publish a big lie, and expect to in
fluence trade in this manner; it can't be
done; people will not be deceived, and are
not going to allow themselves to be fooled
more than once: If your advertise honest
ly the public will read your announcements,
and knowing from past experience that you
are telling the plain facts, they will rely on
finding things as represented. But If de,
ceived 10y constant Misrepresentation, they
will at once conclude on seeing the advcr
tiscment that it is mere clap trap published
to deceive the unwary, and having lost
confidence, will ignore it entirely. Tie
TRIBUNE has always cndeavored to admit
nothing into its columns that would deceive
its readers, and we are glad to say that as
u rule our patrons deal honestly with the
public, and so long us they pursue this
course the people will have confidence, and
the result will be that both buyer and seller
will reap the benefits which always accrue
from square dealing.
The County Superintendent makes the
following report of lis work for the past
summer: Since the list of March, 1881
there have been issued from the Office Of
County Supt. of Schools, 80 teachers Ger
tificates; of this number, IA were second
grade, and 20 third grade. Several who
are now holding second grade certificates
are entitled to first grades upon giving the
necessary practical evidence of good teach
ing ability. In like manner, third grade
teachers will be promoted lis soon AS their
work in the school room shows them wOr
thy of promotion. 13private examinations
have been given, and although the Super
intcndent, for many obvious reasons, pre-
fers to have teachers attend the regular
public examinations, yet i'll no case is |
private examination refused when ncccs
sary or cxpedicnt Most of the summer
schools have closed, and the winter terms
have not commenced. At present, there
are in operation some 16 fall schools
There has been considerable increase il
the enrolment of scholars, the exact fig
urcs of which can not now be given as th
returns are not all in from the sumlne
schools. In scholarship, system and dis

meni throughout the county. Nor do w
intend to let the good work stop. For tn
purpose of mutual encouragement and as
sistance, and the discussion Of better metl,
DDS in teaching, we purpose Establishing
Il Teachers Association, as soon as rus
of other business will permit. We trus
to the co operation of all interested In edu
