EDUCATIONAL,
G. D. BELDEN, EDITOR.

Leroy village schools commenced last Mon
day, Mr.. Edwin K. Cheadle. principal.
1t is expected that Miss Addie NJ. Johnson,
of Lansing. Iowa, will teach the winter school
in Dexter Village.
Mr.. Nils Anderson, who has been studying
at Fayette University, Iowa. viii teach the
Adams village school this winter.
s9pt; Belden last week visited Districts 49,:
50, 81, 60 and Sc, in Ud9lpho; Districts 50 and
ITO in Waltham, also Districts u joint aud 26,
devOting one half day to each school.
District 81, Udolpho, Carlos Manchester
clerk, has just ordered a new Webster's Una
bridged Dictionary. Nearly forty orders for
this book went into the State Department at
St. Paul one day last week. Price only seven
dollars to school districts.
During term time the superintendent is of
necessity, away from his Office most of the
time. Mail accumulates during the week, but
his intention is to answer al! correspondence
on Saturday of each week. This explains the
delay that sometimes occurs.
We notice that in many of our schools the
small scholars are promoted from the Prim-
airy arithmetic in our state series to the Intel
lectual: This is great mistake as the latter
is too difficult for such classes and is intended
for mental work with older pupils. There was a
new book introduced into the series last win
ter, the Elementary arithmetic. This is a
small practical work, and is the text book to
be used uniformly after the Primary Arith-
metic has been satisfactorily completed.
There are now probably more subscribers to
educational journals among our county teach
ers than at any previous period. This is an
excellent indication. No teacher needs such
reading more than the teacher in district
school, who is so largely deprived of contact
nal acquaints the teacher with the plans OF
others In the school room, and gives a great
many suggestions that are helpful and prac-
coming to be an excellent help. Many of our
teachers are taking the Institute, of New York
No progressive teacher will be without such a
periodical and no one need be, for the price is
insignificant. It is the Superintendent de-
sire that no teacher in this county should neg
lect these aids to school success.

since the ED Of November taking care Of
his boy, Thomas, who on that day had q
part of one of his feet amputated as q
result of q railroad accident. It appears
that Tom, who was q brakeman on one

as the train was pulling out of Mortified,
and slid from an open car of coal between

his foot. The train was moving very

Mortified that he might be cared for, not
a single moan or complaint escaping his
lips. Surgeons were called, and the foot
amputated at the joint, leaving the heel
and part of the foot, which will give
HIM quite q support. The boy is quite
young, being II next February. He

Reliable Men, and Men for Business

We called in there the other day just to
see how they were prospecting, and to see
how they looked in their new quarters,
and as we expected, found their elegant
store filed, not only with goods, but
customers.
Their groceries include everything
usually kept in wholesale and retail
establishment, from butter, cheese and
eggs, to fruits from lands beyond the sea
-raisins, oranges, lemons, nuts, grapes,
figs, spices and candies IN large variety
are exhibited, while canned goods and
bottled goods for the table, are exhibited
in quantities sufficient, one would think,
to furnish the Whole city. Green goods
apples, potatoes, celery, ETC., are also
made specialties.
For par excellence, when the festive
and luscious oyster is desired, you will
find them in this store altogether lovely
They collar the cake in this respect by a
majority far larger than the Democrats
had in Ohio. Truth compels us te
acknowledge this. We give G. w. Tay'
lor & Co. the first place of honor in the
psychological trade. So, if you would
have oysters for stew, a fry, or scallop,
get some of G. w. Taylor & Co. s selects.
The new partners, A. H. Loucks, and
J. F. Fisher, have been employed by Mr..
Taylor ever since the store came under
his exclusive management. These young
men have grown up in the business, and
understand every department of it. Mr..
Taylor has given them a thorough trial,
and knowing them to be strictly honest
and honorable, has given them an inter
est in his business. The public can GER
tainly trust them.
This store is too we'll known to need an
inventory of goods published. We will
content ourselves, therefore, with what
has been said, and advise our readers to
call in and see the proprietors of this store,
guaranteeing them fair treatment and
good bargains from either Mr.. Taylor OF
any of his gentlemanly clerks. The store
is model of good management every.
body in it understands the business and
attends to it's requirements.
