ANTHONY TO THE FRONT.
TO the Editor Of the Eagle.

TO the Editor Of the Eagle
Boom, boom, boom. Anthony takes a
back seat no longer, but gracefully comes
to the front with the prospect OF not fewer
than four railroads. Charters have been
taken out and some of them will submit
bonds within ninety days. We have the
Fl Scott road, the Border road will reach
us in a very short time, the Wellington,
Anthony s. Colorado. the Anthony q
Northwestern and the Rock Island from
Hutchinson through Kingman, Anthony
and on south through the Territory, are
some of the reads we are sure to have with
in year.
A committee of our representative clti-
zens have been abroad in the interests of
Anthony and met with fattering success.
The great railroad companies are all anx-
ious to tap this fertile country. A large
syndicate has had its representative here
who reports the outlook for Anthony as be-
ing very bright. And why not7 There is
not a city in the state of five thousand in
ha bitants that has as fine buildings as
Anthony, and such beautiful town
site cannot be found anywhere.
And such a business place too! One day
last week we counted one hundred and
seventy-fcur teams on Main street at one
time Our city's growth has become phe-
nomenal Il has been estimated within the
past year it has more than doubled Its
wealth, and the boom is just beginning.
The knowing ones anticipate the boom and
are investing largely in real estate. A rep
resentative of the Santa Fe quietly looked
our city over and was surprised at our
costly buildings Travelling men declare
that the prospects for Anthony are as good
as any city in the state.
Agreat interest is manifested in the tenn
perance movement. Eight hundred per-
sons have signed the pledge. Interesting
n.eetin IS are held weekly. Mrs. Saxon,
of New Orleans, will lecture here in few
days. Major Penn win also be here.

NEEDED LAWS.

J. II. Miller president Campbell University. In the
Holtor Recorder.
1. The law relative to school age of
children should be changed from five to
seven years of age. The advantages are
numerous and manifest. The present
practice is injurious to the physical health
and the mental and moral habits of
children. Not only is there no gain,
but from my experience and observation
there is positive loss of time, in addition to
the other evils l have known children to
enter school at eight years of age and in
less than two years be in advance of others
who, having entered at five and six, had
been in school two and three years before.
Again, at that early age they can have been
taught no power of moral per-
ception or restraint Rousseau said
over one hundred years ago
that no child could enter school under II
years of age; that be needed that time to
| develop his body and strength of mind
without conscious effort.
| g Our school elections should be held
in April This plan would give ample
time for the directors TO select good teach
ers. and give teachers time to find good
schools. Contracts could be made early
and the teacher would feel fras to spend
the summer without the fear Of act having
a school, 1t would give more permanence
to the profession. 1t would decrease IN
derbidding.
3. The law relative to orr annual school
meeting should be changed so that the
| board should say whether q male or female
teacher should be employed. also, the
board should be permitted 20 hire teachers
FLOR two or three years, instead of for bu
one as now. This would give increased
permanency to the profession and would
make unnecessary the annual ''electioneer
ing and the fear and trembling.
l. The present district system should bt
repealed for the county system.
s. We should have a law prohibiting thu
sale of tobacco to boys under eighteen
This is an evil which has assumed danger

of Mr.. and Mrs. HI. L. Adams, of Bristol,
to celebrate with them the fifth anniver-
sary of their marriage. The weather
was all that could be desired. The dark
clouds that covered the morning sky
and threatened an evening rain were
driven away by favoring winds. The
evening air was cool and pleasant, and
the clear sky was thickly studded with its
stars. The evening was spent in pleasant
conversation, enlivened by some excel
lent music and singing, to which Mr..
Frank Gethen contributed much with his
violin. About ten o'clock most excellent
refreshments were served, and there
seemed to be no division of sentiment
On this question: every one engaged in
putting the refreshments down. The
presents need long string of adjectives
to describe them they were fancy and
fine novel and nice useful, helpful
and gladdening. and varied from tooth
pick to horse-a clothes-horse. The
guests present from abroad were Mrs. A
Benedict and daughter and S. III. Ken

G. Darby, of Wilmot Mr.. and Mrs. Geo
Kennedy, of Milburn Mr.. and Mrs. J

For the relief and cure of the infiam-
nation and congestion called "a cold in
the head" there is more potency in EEy's
Cream Balm than in anything else it is
possible to prescribe. This preparation
has for years past been making brilliant
success as a remedy for cold in the head,
catarrh and hay fever. Used in the
initial stages of these complaints Cream
Bal,e prevents any serious development
of the symptoms, while almost num-
berless cases are on record of radical
cures of chronic catarrh and hay fever
after all other modes of treatment have
proved of no avail.
