Carroll County Teachers Association.


The Teachers Association met in Central
Hall on last Friday, there being very fair
representation considering the inclemency of
the weather. A committee, Messrs. Nc
Swiney, Sullivan and Baughman, was ap-
pointed to prepare resolutions on the death
of William Reese, late President of the School
Board. The ewly-appointed Examiner, Mr.
Jas. A. Diffenbaugh, addressed the teachers
upon the importance of reporting properly,
the necessity of accounting for all book-tees
due, &c. He stated, as being the express
order of the Board, ''that all reports must be
properly and fully filled out, and all bills be
accompanied with the proper vouchers before
payment will be made; that incorrect reports
will receive no correction in the office, but
will be returned to the teacher for corrections;
that no orders for books or stationery will be
filled unless receipted for by the teacher; and
that all book fees due must be satisfactorily
accounted for"
Numerous addresses by prominent teachers,
in reply and commendatory of the action of
the Board, followed. A committee was ap-
pointed to prepare petition praying the Leg
islature to abolish the book-fee system, a copy
of which is to be sent to each teacher, in order
to secure the signatures of the patrons.
"Why are we at the foot of the ladder?''
provoked quite a general discussion. The
Association adjourned to meet the first Friday
after the first meeting of the School Board
following the close of the spring term.

THE MORAL OF 1T.

We may moralize as much as we please
about pain; but the fact is, thatwe don't like
it while it lasts, and that we want to get rid of
it as soon as we can. Whether caused by
rheumatism, govt, disordered liver, weak
nerves, irregular kidneys, bad blood, or any
thing else that is just the reverse of what it
should be, the sooner it is out of the system
the happier we are. Whether pain is the re-
suit of imprudence or of accident, or is sent
as punishment for our sins, may be nice
question for the philosophers to argue but
people who are suffering want first to be
rid of the pain, after which those who are
fond of argument may argue the matter to
their hearts content.
Above all theory, argument, and philoso-
ply, comes the delightful fact that Browns
iRoN BITTERs drives pain away. Sufferers
run no risk in trying this medicine, the only
compound containing iron which carries no
mischief with it. Those who have used it
will tell you so and you can try for yourself
by buying a bottle of the nearest druggist.
