Teachers in Stevens county are very |
scarce. Usually there are two or three
applications from teachers for every |
school in the county but now there is
a decided change. District clerks and |
the county superintendent are looking |
for teachers and find none. There are |
number of districts in which it is
desired to open school Immediately if
teachers can be found. Competent |
teachers can easily find positions by
corresponding with county superin-
tendent j. A. Johnson.
An exchange tells the story of u boy
who was sent to market with a sack
full of roasting ears, and after 1inger-
ing around town all day, retu rned
home without selling them. When
asked by his mother why he had not
sold the corn he said that no one had
asked him what he had in the sack.
There are many merchants like this
little boy. They have plenty to sell,
but fail to say what they have in their
sack. If you expect to sell goods at
this day and age of the world you
must open your sack and keep adyer-
Using your stock in trade:
D. S, Hammond, foreman upon the
Bull farm, tells us that reports of
cruelty to horses upon that farm are
greatly exaggerated and that so far as
they reflect upon him are wholly false.
He tells us that about four weeks ago,
he left boy of about eighteen, at work
with team while he came to town.
One of the horses baked and the boy,
having an aggravated attack of smart
ness, fastened the animal to the har-
ness fits mate in such way as to
cut off the end of its tongue. Mr..
Hammond tells us that the horse has
since had proper care and has now
fully recovered from the effects of the
injury The boy was promptly dis
charged No other cases of cruelty
have occurred OIL the farm. Mr.. Ham
mond says that visit to the farm, an
examination of the horses and q con:
versation with the men upon the farm
will convince any one ofthe truth of
his statements:
Had Ole Bake amended his COM
munication to the paper up the street
by striking out the words "lawyers,
bankers and merchants" ami insert
ing the word "Democrats1 it would
have been rather rough on certain
prominent Democrats and quite an
eye opener for farmers like Mr.. Bake
