Lilley s. Sleppy's low prices are playing
smash. Low prices are doing it.

We issue this week six.page edition.
The extra half sheet is not simply an ad-
vertising circular, but contains reading
matter which of itself is worth the price Of
years subscription. Prof. Heck's story
is good reading and teaches lesson of in
terest to the instructors of youth. The
Rules of the Democratic Party Of this
county have not been published for some
years, and it is important that every men,
Der Of the organization should be familiar
with them. These, with the digest Of the
election laws, make the paper worthy Of
careful preservation for future reference.
We shall continue to issue our large edi-
ton from time to time, as circumstances
may require.

Fisliingcreek.

The Eyer's school closed on the Goth ult.
with an evening literary entertainment con-
sisting of over thirty dialogues, essays and
declamations, which were gone through
with in q manner creditable to all the par
ticipants. The exercises were interspersed
| with excellent vocal and instrumental mu.
sic.
The farmers of this section have CON-
menced plowing for corn, and repairing
their fences.
I noticed in recent issue of your paper
an article over the signature "a Citizen
Taxpayer" concerning the expenses Of the
public roads Of this county. The writer Of
| that communication intimates that persons
living from public road having the use of
| a lane which runs through others land and
encumbered only by gate or pair of bars,
should not have road at the public ex-
pense. Now, think this is selfish and
unjust view of the case. There are other
and greater reasons in many instances
which might be urged for free road.
For instance, If the owners of the land
through which the lane leads would shut
ont to the public the petitioners hogs and
cattle on purpose to annoy and cause him
trouble, it would be sufficient reason to
| apply for road free of such encumbrance.
Again person so situated could not sell
his land for near its value, because of the
dependent and annoying circumstances
under which 1t would place the purchaser.
These are considerations of vastly more
importance than the trivial matter of a
gate or pair of bars to open and shut.
They affect the peace and happiness Of cit.
izens who are unfortunate in not owning
land along public road. All pay road
tax and all alike are entitled to free roads
whether they be inlets to other land OF
otherwise, else certain class of persons
are not on equal footing with their neigh
bors.
Some malicious persons have broken
open the door of the Eyer school house
since school closed, and some window
panes have been broken out. A great deal
of such work has been going on for sever
al years past at that place. The offenders
may be caught some of these times, when
they shall have to suffer the penalty OF
| their misdeeds. A CITIZEN.

Pine Township Institute.

On the 18th OF March the teachers and
pupils Of Pine School District, with others
interested In the cause Of education, were
seen vending their way toward the M. Il.
church at Pine Summit, where, according
to previous arrangements, they held their
last monthly institute. Owing to the bad
condition OF the roads Mr.. Grimes was un-
able to get there. At IL o'clock the presi-
dent, Mr.. Eyer Allen, called the meeting
to order, when exercises were opened by
singing and prayer As the teachers who
were first on the programme were not yet
present few moments were spent In dis
cussing the topics "How shall we secure a
better attendance of our children at
school ?" and "Tbe length Of our school
term" Miss Laubach conducted class in
reading. Mr.. Ewes and choir gave us
some music, when we adjourned to meet
again In half an hour. At the appointed
time the institute came to order and the
pupils Of Upper Pine school entertained us
for short time with singing, rccitations
and essays. Discussions were resumed /;
Prof. M. q. Terrell being among those to
take part In them. Pupils were selected
from the different schools and Mr.. ID. w.
Robbins gave twenty-five words from the
dictionary to be written by them. The pu-
pills from Barton and Pine Summit schools
gave us some good recitations. Mr.. Har-
ry Ewes of Greenwood, recited prize
poem, when Prof. Terrell took up the sub
ject Of reading. He handled 1t in very
creditable manner, gave some valuable in
structon and closed by reciting that excel
lent poem, "Blow Bugle, Blow" Mr..
Faus read an essay entitled Parting"
A vote OF thanks was rendered to Mr..
Harry Ewes and Prof. Terrell tor their
presence and the active part they took in
the exercises; also to Mr.. Emery Ewes
and choir for furnishing us with such ex-
cellent music. Upon motion we adjourned
and soon all were seen leaving for their
homes, evidently very much pleased with
the exercise of the day, and convinced OF
the fact that such meetings are conducive
to the advancement of our cause.
