ED. GRAPHIC: Being aware of the
the fact that the time for your valuable
paper will soon expire, l will just say
wish to renew my subscription as soon
as the time expires, as it is one of the
indespensible's, as it is the source
through which l get all my old neigh
hood news. ! would like very much
ifyou would stir your Greentop and
Sublette correspondents up little.
They are getting little slack in giving
the news.
Our election for town officers last
week was a hot affair, not between
democrats and republicans but between
Sweeds and Americans
The weather has been very cold anu
gloomy and spring is late. Farmers
are generally busy sowing oats. The
wheat crop generally looks well. Busi-
ness looking up little.
1t might be of some interest to some
OF the farmers who read your paper, to
give the price Of stock IN our county ::
Horses are worth from $50 to $50 for
farm horses; yearling steers $40 to $22;
Iwos $50 to SIS; Hogs 5 TO &c per
pound. !. w. H.

A Desperate Pledge.

Men who have so weakened their
will by indulgence in drink that they
cannot be certain OF their own prom
lSes might do worse than to call in the
aid OF their wiyes to strengthen their
feeble resolution. We find noted in
foreign journal an instance in which a
woman of Pesth, Hungary, has en-
deavored 20 exercise more than "local
control" over her worser half in the
matter of his drinking habits. In a
newspaper IN that city there recently
appeared an advertisement which ex-
cites our commentator as well as our
wonder.
1t bears the heading: This is
printed to please my wife," and goes
on thus: Il, the undersigned, declare
that will never again set foot in a
cafe, wine shop or beer house, and
beg my friends and acqualntances
never to invite me to frequent these
places of perdition. In token of my
good faith and earnes. resolution"
continues the advertiser, Il authorize
any of the establishments alluded 10,
to claim fine of fifty Aorins, which
shall be handed over to some charita-
BILE institution"
The advertisement is duly signed by
the husband, who Is evidently not
wanting in a certain kind of courage.
He is ready to run the risk of beng
derided as ahen-pecked husband rath-
rr thah the peril of falling into drunk
ards folly again. The mans appeal
to his comrades not to entlce him to
wrong-doing, and his declaration that
a self-imposed fine is to be exacsed for
every backward slip, have a deep
pathos which almost everyone will ap-
preclate. And we heartily wish that
the waverlng purpose of the repentant
could be more frequently
by the vica ious substitution
OF woman's strength of will.-Union
Signal.

Pennsylvania HILLS.
A Graphic Patron at his Old Home.

Ed. GRAPHlc:-I left Kirksvllle on
the morning OF Feb. 27th and after a
three weeks stop at Urion City. lndl-
ana, went to, Tyron, Penna. After a
few days visit arrived at my old birth
place, here IN Center county, finding
friends generally well, but things have
changed much since my boyhood.
took days trip with an old friend
of mine who is assessing. Starting in
the morning we went north. some two
or three miles ascending the mountain
to the 'McGinnis Farm well known
to some of your GRAPHIC readers; after
noting the value of stock and other
property, we continue north descend
ing toward the valley of Wallis Run
through gap in the mountains. The
wagon road on either side was flanked
with slide tracks to slide logs to the
Glen Harris Mil. l am told that the
logs are placed on these slides and a
single team draws fiom fifty to one
hundred at once. Casting your eyes
upwards on either side, to the distance
of mile or more you see from whence
those logs are precipitated, tumbllng
end over end, jumping precipices with
no stop till they reach the level below.
Further on tramway is laid for the
purpose of taking them to the mill.
Reaching the valley of Wallis Run we
ound beautiful stream Of pure spring
water sufficiently deep and large to
float logs, This stream heads in the
Allaganies and flows eastward. Glen
Harris Mills are four miles from its
head. The water is clear as crystal.
After viewing the arrangements Of
slides. tram roads etc, we proceeded
to the mill. Lying In the dam, were
logs to the amount OF five million feet.
In the yards are millions of feet of lum-
Der piled up ready for maket. A
number of dwellings, store, blacksmith
shop, ETC., belonging to the mill. In
the mill we found one regular saw
gang, with sixteen saws, edgers, slab
Der, lath and paling mills, shingle mill,
ETC., are driven by one engine. While
there saw number of trains switching
up the mountain hundreds of feet
above the valley. Arrived home late
in the evening, tired enough, as your
readers may imagine, after such a
day trip. D. p. H.

Pres. Blanton's lecture on 'rThe
True and False in Education" at
Smiths Hall, Thursday night was a
literary treat and was listened to by a
large and appreciative audience. In
his Introductory remarks he SAID
he had the honor Of delivering the
first educational lecture In this edifce
of learning which has been erected by
the indomnitable will of w. ]. Smith.
In the course of his lecture he refer
ed to the almost universal practice of
making teaching stepping stone to
other professions, which he thought
ought not be so, also of letting schools
out to the lowest bidder, and hiring
relatives. He showed that education
is on the advance by saying we have
passed from the "Old field Teacher" to
our late and improved methods of
teaching. The production as a whole
abounds in thought and showed that it
was well prepared and that the speak
er thoroughly understood the subject
on which he was speaking.

THE SEDALIA CONVENTION.

Simply mob. Such seems to have
been the general verdict of the press o.
the state when describing the conyen.
ton which met at Sedalla, Wednes.
day. Republicans everywhere should
feel humilliated over the spectacle oi
their representative men, meeting in
council, and conducting themselves like
rowdies and roughs. The term "hood-
lum" may no longer be applied to
those who stood as friends of Filley
and the old committee, with any degree
of consistency. If fany one could come
out OF that convention feeling any de-
gree satisfaction and self respect it
must have been Mr. Chauncey I.Filley,
and those wno have been classed as
his followers. They went to take a
lesson in good manners and the "solar
walk style of politics, from the so
called, better element so much talked
about by certain newspapers. From
the sample furnished 1t is not likely
that any fair minded, or moderately
decent man will ever desire a repeti-
ton OF that lesson.
The convention, such as twas, met,
did its work and adjourned. Both the
old committees have stepped down
and out and the contest between the
two has passed into history. There is
no occasion and in fact no excuse even,
to contiue that contest, and the re-
publican party of the state may be said
to be once more united. Its masses
have never been divided. Perhaps its
leaders may learn wisdom by their re-
cent experiences. AT least it is to be
so hoped. On our inside pages we
give the proceedings, together with the |
,ames of the delegates chosen, and |
lew State committee. The committee
nen for this district are +. M. Harring- !
On and Joseph Meyers.
