 HAw HAw!! HAw!l Pretty good MT. Editor, but we hope you will not SC to the left. You have thrown down the gauntlet to the dominies. Suppose youl respondent should accept the challenge, shall he have the choice of weapons Shall it be OK whips? Your respondent knew how to drive oxen in his youth. By the way, an OK team is something of an in stitution. But it requires good deal of s'ge"-'' -''hawing" to make it 8 success. Take word of advice, MT. Editor: "Be not like dumb driven cattle; be hero in the strife" Speaking of dominies-one who breaches to the natives of northern New Jersey tells this story of himself j: Among his people it is customary to speak of the pastor as the dominic. One Sunday a good German brother was called upon to pray, and gave the minister this neat setting up: 70 Lord, we pray thee to bless the young dun,a,ey vot has peen la- boring vid us vor weeks to comc." We are not disposed to be dummys, MT. Ed ltor, so we say ''ge-haw," hoping you will not go too far to the left Unfortunately for us, your name is'' rot ''ge"-horum nor 'ge"-honodab. If it was you would get paid in your own coin. sHAw."

 The fall term of the intermediate and primary schools-Miss D. Jennie Chaffee, md Mrs. Abbie S. Fiske, teachers-will dose this week Saturday, Nov. 3d. These teachers have not only been careful and thorough in teaching the scholars their essons, but have promptly obeyed the in- tructions of the district committee in re- gard to the moral department of the pu- oils. Some of the instructions to the eachers were as follows: Not to allow my profane swearing or indecent or abu- i've language, or passe1s-by to be annoy d, or any cutting or defacing of the school louse, desks, seats, etc., or any. running chool building. It is of vast importance, n the writer's opinion, that children should 'e taught, at school, right principles and labits and it is also his opinion that aoral culture should stand first in the or Ter of importance that the highest skill # the teacher should be expended here, nd that parents, district officers and so- iety should unite in demanding of every 'bility to promote the moral nature of oth- nd attainments in his or her profession s teacher.
