! fear dear friends, ! have occu-
pied too much Of your time already;
! trust you will forgive mi. ! can
but rcitera . my sentiments that the
grading Of our pupils is essential to
success in teaching.
/ will only add, That the inculca-
ting Of good principles in the minds
Of the pupils is one of our most
serious duties. You probably re-
member what Shakespeare says:
''There is a tide in the affairs of
man, which taken at the food leads
to fortune; Omitted, all the voyage Of
their life is bound in shadows and
miscries. Let us then dear friends,
by our example as well as our
teaching, convey to the minds Of
the scholars, the truth, that we
should make everything subscrvient
to the will Of our Heavenly Father
and that as we are told in Proverbs:
"The hand Of the diligent shall bear
rule, but a slothful shall be under
tribute" and again We are told: "the
path Of the just is as the smiling
light that shineth more and more
unto the perfect day.. l thank you
for your kind attention to my weak
Nand imperfect attempt to elucidate
this question.

Letier from I.arrixay.

The following letter was received
last week from Orlin Il. Lariway, who
with his wife, Hattie Lariway were
recently bound over by a magistrate
at ElDorado, Kansas, for the MUIR
der Of Oscar +. Kruson. 1t would
seem by Lariway's letter that he
has employed a shrewd attorney
who dictated this letter for the pur-
pose Of turning the tide ofsympathy
in favor Of the defendants. W.
have heard from reliable sources
that evidence is accommodating against
the Lariway's down there in Kan
sas, and that enough is now secured
to convict them Of the terrible crime
they are charged with. We publish
the letter for the purpose Of show
ing the character Of the defense the
Lariway's are rssorting to-
MI. MALLAHAN.-Dear sir: if you
think the few facts below are worth
publishing you are at liberty to do
SO.
We arrived at ElDorado Jan. 18th
and our examination was set for the
first Of February; we were called over
to the Justices Office and our trial
postponed until the 10Th Of Febru-
airy over objections by counsel for
defendants. The justice by so do
ing losing jurisdiction of the case, but
neverthelcs s he again postponed
our trial until the Oath OF February
he claiming that it lay within him.
self whether he lost jurisdiction or
not. So any one a see that we
did not know when to subpoena
witnesses for we did not know when
we would have a trial. The justice
said when he bound lis over that it
was not on evidence shown but
simply because we did not put any
witnesses on the stand they even
failed to prove a corpus deficit and
did not try to connect me with the
deed at all. Public sentiment is
rather for than against us and we
feel sure Of acquittal when court sets.
Yours Respectfully,
O. 4. LARRAwAY.

and Implements

If you want Hardware of any kind come into our place of business
where you can buy the best goods for the least money. Here is the
place you can get a frs-class Stove, with good trimming. that will
please you for the next ten years to come. Then we are headquarters for
Pocket and Table Cutlery, and by the way if you buy any Silver Pla-
ted Knives, Forks and Spoons you can rest assured that you haven not
been imposed upon. They are genuine Roger goods and so cheap
too. Then you will notice lots of other standard goods, like shovels
and spades, Diston saws of all kinds, axes and the best AK handles in
the country. Glidden wire, Pitkins paint, wood pumps, wagon stock,
window glass, guns, and all kinds of ammunition, and you might
notice a little pile of shot no bigger than you are, that weighs a ton
and a half. It might not be out of the way to mention our tin shop,
where everything in sheet iron, copper and tinware is made to order
from the best of material by the best workman in the west.
We most forgot to mention our Whips, a nice lot too, and if you
buy one you will not go home and whip your wife; not much. You
will feel too good after buying hardware so good and cheap You
will be more apt to say ga penny saved is two gained" If you should
buy more than you can carry, you can buy a buggy, wagon or pair OF
hobs to haul them home in. This is no fattery-all honest truth.
Come in and see for yourselves and you will find that half has not
been told about the "Old Reliable" hardware of

sman Feet Of southern women.

A lady of medium hight may have finely
shaped foot such as common ruInor gives 10
Mrs Cleveland, but in the south No. 81
slipper is not usually designated as dainty
Probably 20 is as large as the term VIII
stand. People who frequent southern ball
rooms and summer resorts comment upon
the fact that extremely small feet, feet IN
cased in slippers running from to - ars
largely in the majority. Not many years
since this subject was discussed In ball
room in Macon and experts were able to dis
cover out of eighteen pairs present and
twinkling in the mazes of the dance bur
three numbers larger than 213, and IN the
assembly were damsels who would have
tipped the beam at 1S5.
This preponderance of small feet in the
south among ladies of high social standing
has been accounted for on many theories, the
most natural one, We think, being the ex-
PLANTATION that these ladies do not use their
feet with the freedom and constancy that
NAV be observed in other sections. They are
not walkers, in the first place. 1t is rare
thing to find in southern cities ladies OF the
class described who average two miles walk
ing per day the year round Climate and
roadways, as well as custom, are against
pedestrian exercise; the feet are small be-
cause they are not frlly developed by use.
OF course, we speak in a general sense, be-
cause. there are families in which small feet
are clearly an Inheritance and continue small
despite exercise continuous and severe.-Ma-
con Gal Telegraph.
