OCTOBER REPORT OF THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.

To the Board of Education, Clarksville. Tenn.
GENTLEMEN--The past month has been
somewhat trying one upon attendance in
eli the Schools. Though the weather has
been fine, there has been, and is stir, quite
good deal Of malarial trouble in the form
Of chills and fever. From this source alone
the attendance in all the schools has suffer-
ed By an average loss of twenty pupils per
week. In addition to this. the rigid en-
forcement OF the State Lave relative to vacci-
nation has kept fourteen (mostly in prima-
ry rooms,) at home until the effects OF the
operation were over. While upon this,
can say that the health officer. DIR. Beau
mont, has faithfully discharged the duty OF
administering vaccination where needed in
the schools, SO that should our city be visit
ed as some neighboring towns have been,
we need be under no apprehension Of any
interruption in our school work.
The following is the monthly report OF
the condition OF the City schools for Octo-
Der, 1884:

NEEDS.
must call the attention OF the Board 10
the great need which is felt every day, Of
an instrument for moving the large classes
of the primary department in an orderly
manner. Without an organ these move
ments are an Understandable clatter, and
the one now on that floor is not only entire
~ useless, but also beyond repair save at o
price which would equal the value of an
organ with single set OF vibrators. A
stove is needed for the first room TO the LETT
on the third door. Five ROTATIONS are dali
" heard in 1t. when cold weather comes
serious consequences may result from ins
sufficient heating OF the room.
Something should also be done to provide
q way for warming the Superintendent's

A Good Thing.

The Farmers Executive Committee
met last week and determined to spare
no efforts to make the Fat-stock and
Seed Show, Dec. 16, IL and 18th Q
grand success, surprising any exhibit
ton Of the kind ever held in this Sec
ton and authorized the Secretary to
canvass the city for special premiums
We notice that some OF our merchants
as we'll as number of farmers are
subscribing very literally to it. We
suppose there is not business man in
the city who is willing to be left out,
or wishes some prominent part in the
enterprise. Our business men never
fail to show their appreciation of such
opportunities to advance the agricult-
ural interest and benefit the public
generally, and this occasion inspires
more than the ordinary feeling be-
cause it promises greater attractions
With three fold benefits. One is the
Fat-stock Show, which Isl new feature
calculated to help an industry that has
been long and sadly neglected and
inspire life into lifeless market for
live stock. BY such an exhibition our
farmers will see wherein they have
failed to meet the market demand and
learn the advantages derived from
improved stock and careful attention.
Again, when this industry becomes
aroused, clover, orchard grass, timothy,
cattle, sheep, hogs and mules will take
the place OF wheat where grown 10 bush
els TO the acre ALTO cents per bushel,
and then the fired and worn out lands
will begin to improve and give pros
perity to the country. Another bene-
fit. the Seed Show exhibits are to be
sent to the great New Orleans Expo
sition as an advertisement for each
exhibitor and collectively a great
advertisement for our section OF coun-
try. We might go on specifying
blessings to follow, but every intelli-
gent citizen understands the advan-
tages and know what benefits other
have derived by smaller
exhibitions and the most encouraging
feature 10 TO see farmers and merch-
ants 90 cordially uniting in the move
ment And our object now is to-
arouse the farming community 20
activity. Let every one prepare
something, and as many articles az
possible for exhibition, It won't do
to say you have nothing suitable, or
good enough for exhibition, that is
acknowledging that you are a very
poor farmer, while the fact is, every
one can show something good, and if
you do fail to take the premium, it
will have cost nothing TO exhibit, and
you will have contributed to the sue
cess OF an enterprise of which every
farmer will feel pround.
Exhibitors never know whether
they have the best or not until they
place there products in comparison
with others and often men win
premiums when not expecting it.
Aside from all other motives, every
farmers pride in his calling should
stimulate him to take an active inter
