That VindicatiOn.

Candidate Cleveland has been thoroughly
indicated at the hands of his friends. True
he is the father of Maria Halpin's illegitimate
child, but then she was widow. Mr.
Cleveland was younger then than he is now,
the lad Oscar Folsam Cleveland is eight
years old, and it was but youthful indis-
erection on the part of Cleveland, who was
only a little more than forty years of age
and the woman was not wronged because she
was widow. Oscar Folsom Cleveland is
Candidate Cleveland's son, but his mother
was a woman of bad character and widow,
and was not wronged by Mr.. Cleveland, who
acted the part OF a man of honor in the
whole transaction. This is substantially the
way Mr. Cleveland's vindication appears in
the democratic press, especial emphasis be-
ing put upon the fact that it was only q
widow who is the mother of the child, and
that, therefore, no wrong was done to her
Mr.. Cleveland has acted the part of pure
and honorable gentleman, say his democrat
ic friends, while they admit the main facts
charged against him, but deny the details

cratic party must have.

Kirksville Public Schools.

AT the'close Of the first term of our
public schools, | prepared set OF ques

covered, not only the work passed over

corresponding grades IN each building
were examined ON the same set Of

Is about as it sI.ould be, at present, ow-

ylded by the Washington building.
However the fewer pupils in a class,
the greater chance the teacher has to
reach each pupil: and this must be
taken into account IN the following re-
port. If our rooms would admit an
equal division of the rupis, much bet

grades obtained by any member of
each class with the name OF the pupils

ages of some classes may be accounted
for; partly by pupils not remembering
the work done prior to this year. and
partly by the irregular attendance of
some pupils, who lower the grade Of
the CLASS.

The Poultry Business IN Huntsville
What Shippers are Doing.

The extent and importance of the
poultry business in this locality is little
understood or appreciated by people
generally. The item of Fowls pur-
chased, dressed and shipped IN sim
gle season, to say nothing Of the egg
products and the amount consumed at
home, makes very handsome sum.
The firm OF Blackman & Horne, of
this place, have bought, dressed and
shipped fifty thousand pounds. Aver
aging the amount paid at seven cents
per pound net it toots up $500 put in
circulation IN this vicinity from this one
branch. In addition to this quite a
number OF persons have been afforded
employment during the winter months
and the aggregate of whose wages
would considerably swell the above
amount.
In addition to the above we learn
that during the past three months
Messrs Templenan & Co., of this place
have shipped about eleven thousand
pounds of dressed poultry tor which
they have discussed about nine hun
dred dollars in cash in addition to the
eggs and other produce bought and
shipped during the same time.
