Last Day of School at Maple

VI LIZ
Last Day of School at Maple
GrOve--Dist. Nc. Ii.
The school taught by Mr.. L. P. Shide-
Ter in this district, came to a close last
Friday. This is the fifth school he has
taught in the district, and it requires but
a glance at his methods and their results
to satisfy any n that he is an excellent
teacher. He possesses the faculty OF
making his pupils UNDERSTAND what
they learn. His pupils are we'll adyanc-
ed for their ages, and two of them, Miss
Minnie Harshman and Geo. w. Slower,
have recently been licensed as teachers.
! Our summer term of school will be taught
by Miss Minnie.
The business of praising Mr.. Shideler
or any worthy teacher Tor merit is per-
haps a sufficient excuse for doing so; but
their labor is so important that every OPP
portunity for public commentator
through the press should be improved
by way of encouragement. Lord Brough-
ham once said, Let the soldier be abroad
if he will, he can do nothing in this age.
There is another parsonage, a person less
imposing in the eyes of some, perhaps
insignificant. The schoolmaster is a.
broad, and 1 trust to him, armed with

The householders of the district gath
cred in, bringing with them well-filled
baskets, and dined with the "boys and
girls at school," The forenoon was spenr
in hearing Rotations; the afternoon wa:
devoted to music and remarks by the
teacher and others present. We observ
ed with pleasure that the school children
and the young ladies and young gentle
men of the district are becoming quite
proficient in music. Frank Whitesel

many youthful voices made us feel that
THY songs are sweeter to mine ear
Than to the thirsty cattle, rivers clear;
Or winter porrige TO the lahoring youth,
Or buns and sugar to the damsels tooth.

Spring Elections.

In about three weeks the election O.
Corporation and Townships officers vii
take place. The Importance of these cleo
tions is hardly ever properly considered
by our citizens. The selection of candi.
dates is too often left to a few men, and
then when the nominations are made
and these men elected there is grumb.
ling about this thing and that-about the
extravaganza and mismanagement of our
Township and Corporation affairs during
the balance of the year. So long as there
are differences of political opinion just so
long will the people be divided into po-
litical parties; and while we are opposed
to carrying politics into the selection of
Corporation and Township offices; be-
cause it is not the best policy for neigh
Dor to be arrayed against neighbor in
their local government, yet this fact
should not prevent the selection of good,
moral, sober, honest and competent men
for the offices. By this We do not mean
a prohibitionist in temperance-a fana-
tic in religion Oh a ranting partizan in
pc litics; but conservative and upright
men, who will administer our local af-
fairs for the general good of the public,
irrespective of party, temperance or
church. The Importance of these local
offices cannot be over estimated. They
come into closest relation to every day
life. Their influence is more directly
felt than are those of either county or
State. The great bulk of the money paid
in the shape of taxes is assessed and col
lected by men to be elected on the first
Monday in April. School directors are
to be elected. These officials should be
selected with especial care, as their in
1uence and prestige in the school room
and the management and direction of
matters. relating to school affairs has a
direct and positive bearing. If the di-
rectors are men of broad views and lib
eral and progressive spirit it is soon no
ticed and appreciated by both teachers
and scholars. In the selection of these
directors surely politics should not be al
lowed to interfere, but only the best men
qualified and interested in our schools
should fill this honorable and important
place. The election of trustees, assess
ors, marshal and council, all should be
done with care and circumspection.-
Without specifying particular instances
it is a fact that there is not a local officer
to be elected on the LIST Monday in April,
but should command of every citizen an
earnest zeal to have none but the best
and most competent men named as can
didates. Let us have no rivalry as par
tizans-but only for the general peace,
prosperity and happiness of our village.
Contests of this kind must result in good
to all-where on the contrary, if the lit
tie scheming. village loafing, "ax-grind-
ing" politician is permitted to run and
control our Corporation offices, there is
nothing but evil resulting. Let all good
citizens look at these matters calmly, So
berly and devoid of prejudice, and then
act for the good of our community.

The Mineral Springs.

The Committee soliciting donations for
the improvement of the Eaton Mineral
Springs, have done but little since our
last report, from the fact that Mr.. Deem
has concluded to go on and improve the
grounds to the extent of his financial
ability, satisfied that the $4,000 cannot
be raised. To what point the improve
ments will go we are not advised. The
hotel will be built-the Lakes construct
ed and the Springs put in good order and
the grounds enclosed with a new fence,
&c. He is now at work with a force on
the grounds. The following are the ad-
ditional donations, which foots up the
amount tn about S26OO. 90:

Those who have been pestered to death
by the irrepressihie dandelon on their lawns
may nov take heart. The pest will poster
them no more. Eastern markets have be-
gun to utilize them for greens, so that the
gardeners cultivate them for sale. The
plant having thus become useful, the bugs
will eat it off above ground the grub will
saw its roots in two, the sun will parch ii to
DEATH the rain will thrash it to strips, and
the boys will dig it out and steal it, Thus

NORTH Alabama has long puzzled
itself over the condition of politics IN
the Southern part ofthe State, espec-
tally in Mobile. Factions there con
tinually strive for the mastery. 1t
seemed that on the nomination of
