The PATH FINDERS.
Who Have Glorious News to Tell.


Hearing so often of the great work done
for Mrs. Dougherty of Leonard street. by
these eminent specialists, Drs. Wesley IL
French, ll9 Monroe street, our reporter de-
termined TO get the facts in the case. To
our surprise and qualification We found that
the half had not been told. The lady is
actually doing her own work, sewing on the
machine, making bread, in fact everything
that pertains 10 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS that, too,
by only six weeks treatment. She has taken
but little medicine, mere tritle as com
pared to that given In her former treatment.
We sat and wondered if she is not the hap
piest woman in Grand Rapids. Then John
Andrews, of Lagrave street, was interviewed
concerning his nasal catarrh and cough. he
said he had spent a small fortune In seek
ing relief but never till now had he felt safe
in counting himself cured. He fully agrees
with the doctors that. If a medicine irritates,
II damages. Their treatment Is painless.
Mrs. Moore described her rheumatism as
being very painful, having suffered from II
some six years. She has full use of her
limbs again, after q treatment of seven
weeks. George Botheler. harness maker
had suffered several years with what his doc
tors called heart disease. He says he Is a
hundred per cent. better. The doctors are
treating him for indigestion. Their success
IN chronic diseases IA not confined to this
city by any means, for while talking with
the doctors one gentleman came in from
Kalamazoo, another from Grand Haven, an
other from Lowell and another from Mid
dleville. They need only to remain here a
few months, when their rooms will be
crowded with the afflicted from morning till
night.

The Vacant School Commissionership,

In view of the sad fact that the public
| schools have lost true and faithful
irlend III the person of David Scott, ESQ,
| deceased and that his successor will be
appointed, sooner Or later. |, as one
teacher would suggest, that out of re-
spect TO HIM no one be appointed to
take his place until the time for which
he was appointed expires. | am fully
satisfied that his fellow members of the
school board would willingly attend 10
the extra work. Further | would re-
spectlvely suggest that no one save 4
person who is fully identified with the
puolic schools In every particular, be
gwen the place. He should in my
hnmble judgment be man of more
than ordinarily liberal views, one who
would ever be watchful of the county's
interest on the one hand and an uncom-
promising friend of the teachers on the
other. He should not be appointed, be,
cause he lives in certain district; it is
immaterial where he resides so he is the
right man for the position. To give the
place to man who can and will ill it.
as acceptably to all concerned as Mr.
Scott did will be difficult, | admit. Such
men as Ii. II. Kimble and Geo. T. Har-
Ian, OF the Sixth district, Renoni Cool
ing and j. Wesley Falls, of the Fifth
district, would make unquestlonabIy
good ones. There are of course, nany
others in each of the districts, that
would make good ones. Would like to
hear from others as to their choice &c.
TEACHER.
lhe above communication is from
one of the teachers of the county, and
present .he names of several well.
known citizens as suitable successors of
the recently deceased and generally re-
spected school commissioner David Scott
Esq. Any one of the gentlemen ramed
would make an excellent public officer,
aud without advocating the claims Of
any one over another, we believe that
Judge Stump will select good Repub-
llcan from the large number Of them to
be found in the county. 1t will, we be-
lieve, be hardly possible to find another
suoh man as Mr.. Scott, for in wisdom
and efficiency he will rarely be equalled,
but there is a number of men in the
county who could fill the position of
school commissioners with great eff
cheney. One should be selected with
all due regard to the amount of interest
he will take in the school affairs of the
county. He must have them at heart to
be an able officer, and should be one
fully capable of winning tho esteem and
regard of his brother commissioners and
the citizens o; the county by faithful
discharge of his duties, free from personal
obligations.-EDs. WING.
