Sending Children to school.
Communicated. I

Many parents do not seem to realize the
importance of sending their children to school
as soon as it opens in the fall. Children
should start the first day and continue regu-
larly throughout the year. They should be
present when the classes are organized, and
receive the first instruction given and not
embarrass the teacher and disturb the school,
either by starting in the middle of the term
or by irregular attendance, thereby compel
ling the teacher to give them special instruc-
ton upon points missed or passing them over
unlearned, stealing the time of others and
wasting their own.

Lisbon Items.

The farmers here are threshing their wheat
and preparing the ground for seeding; nearly
all are done blowing. With wheat at eighty
cents per bushel, there is little encouragement
to grow it; yet there will be larger acreage
sown this fall than last. 1t is shame that
Maryland farmers have to sell wheat at the
price named. 1t costs us as much to ship
from this region as it can be sent from Chicago
to Baltimore for.
The nominations for county officers were
made on Tuesday last. We dabble but little
in politics, desire no Office, but we endorse
the ticket as made as good one, which we
are certain to elect in November. We had
preference for one of our neighbors for COM
missioner, yet cannot complain of the gentle
man selected in his stead.
George Mills has sold his mill property, one

had his mule killed on the B. & 0. r. r. and

There was no one in the buggy at the time of
the accident, the mule having broken loose at
Woodbine, following the county road to the
mill, over mile, then taking the track east.

Mrs. Elizabeth Lindsay Gordon, died in AL

She was the wife of Gen. VIM. f. Gordon,
for a number of years representative of the
Abemare district in Congress. Her life ex-
tended through and covered the administra-

she having been born in Albermarle county
in 1892, during Washington's first administra-
ton, and she had seen all the Presidents
down to Grant. She was personally ac-
quainted with Jefferson, Madison and Mon

girlhood and earlier married life at Month

With this small balance of 1929 the Council
is expected to repair and improve the streets,
alleys, crossings and lamps, lay new crossings,
and erect new lamps where needed, and pay
off the floating Indebtedness. You will thus
see that the Council is utterly unable to make
even the necessary repairs and improvements
unless the rate of taxation be increased. To
make these necessary repairs and improve
ments it will require from $500 to $4,000.
The Council is DESTROYS of obtaining an ex
preston of the views of the citizens and tax
payers of the city as to the ACCESSIBILITY of APP
plying to the next Legislature for the passage
of an act authorizing an increase in the rate
of taxation. To that end it is hoped the citi-
zens and taxpayers will take some immediate
action in the matter, so that if it should be
determined by the people, by town meeting
or otherwise, that the rate oftaxation should be
increased, the Council, in anticipation of
such an increase in taxation, may adopt some
measures to raise at once sufficient amount
of money to make such repairs and improve
ments as are absolutely necessary before win
ter. If it should be determined by the peo-
pie that the rate of taxation should not be in
creased, then the Council are of the opinion
that to conduct the affairs of the corporation
in business way, at the present rate of tax
alton, all the income of the taxes should be
applied to the liquidation of the corporate in
debtedness, which would necessitate the shut
ting off of gas, the discharge of the Bailiff and
Street Commissioner and the discontinuance
of all repairs and improvements.

CHICAGO, April An unexpected drop in
English consols was about the only moving cause
in the wheat market to-day, and it influenced a
sharp demand at the opening, though the occa-
sion of the decline was not made clear. 1t was
supposed to have some connection with the
Anglo Russian dispute, however, and was ac-
eepted as war sign, though no adviess of any
renewed foreign complications were re-
ceiyed during the session. Wheat

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
Indianapolis Holding Its Own as a CONNER
cfa1 Center.

Indianapolis Holding Its Own 40 a CONNER
cial Center.
The Journal has invariably expressed the be-
lief that indianapolis, as commercial center,
was holding it's own, and that her merchants
were among the most solid, best business men
of the country; therefore, it is with pleasure we
reproduce the remarks of the indianapolis
Grocer Of April on the local business situation;
and these remarks should have the more force
from the fact that they are written by
Meridianstreet merchant whose
business surroundings enable him to write intel
ligently. The Grocer says; Finances have
frightened and the movement of goods has SYM
pathized with the slowness in collections. The
railway returns, if collated, would show local
freight traffic edualing the shipments made dur
ing the early spring of 1854, but there is an i'll
concealed disappointment when each succeeding
| year does not overtop all former records. The
city that can rise to high-water mark of previous
| business exhibits has made remarkable run,
| indianapolis has done this, and that too, in the
face Of desperate attempts to take from her much
| coveted territory and trade. If snail pro-
| portion of the work expended in the dis
cussion of the rights and privileges of mer
chants could be turned loose in the direction
| of practical application, this city could soon
double its present mercantile traffic and draw to
| itself permanently millions of dollars of trade
now drifting into more enterprising channels.
| Talk is cheap commodity, and unsupported it
is simply wind, and very low grade of wind at
| that Te shall know them by their works; not
by their elocution or paper declaration. A pc
| tition is wonderful affair; every merchant In
! the iobbihg center gets on it when new post
master is asked for; yet freight determinations
| and diversions from New York; local rates for
merchants in the small towns that owe al
| legiance to Indianapolis; reasonable, Just
and practical collection laws; the abuse
| of the contract system by statesmen and
| by the house, the publication of the names of
| dead beats and sharks who live upon the con,
| tributiohs made by the oyerconfding johbet-
and doxet. otlisr reforms allowed to remain
| totally dsrsgarded Canned goods are getting
some extensive advertising through the trade
papers, and dealer would readily conceive q
