Now, am going to tell you about the lit
tie folks in Miss Markham's room. This Is
the prettiest room in the school. The reasons
for this are apparent. First. 1t is the best
graded room IN the school; the pupils being
nearly of the same age and advancement.
Second. They have one of the best primary
teachers in Southeast Missouri to teach
them. / believe may be allowed to say
this without mourning contradiction.
must say this for the sake of truth, and in
justice to the teacher. Miss Markham is do
ing grand work in grand way. The reci-
tations, songs and class work in this depart
ment are astonishing. One could hardly ex-
pect such good work from such little peo-
pie as witnessed on this occasion.
Taken all in all, Mr.. Editor, think you
have good school, and if it is not what you
should desire to see, don't blame your teach
ers; for they are doing all they can to render
you good service, and need all the encour-
agement that you can bestow. Give the
teachers your hearty, earnest support; give
them the material and the means to shape
it; give them these, then those sacred prin-
ciples our foretathers planted upon Ameri-
can soil, and babe us cherish with our lives,
fortunes and our sacred honor, will be safe
ly presel we'd, our glorious country prosper,
and the people be contented and happy.

10 the Patrons Of the IrontoR Public School:
Our school will close on the 18th of April.
we have, therefore, but month after this
week. Let no one become careless with
reference to sending to school the last few
weeks, as is so common in many places.
Between this and the close we will review
the most difficult and important lessons
passed over during the year. This is nee
essary to make permanent what the pupils
bave studied during the past seven months.
Let US, therefore, be true to the interest of
our children by an effort to keep them in
school every day till the close, and if neces-
sary make some sacrifices TO this end.
Another request, which will do you, your
children and ourselves much good, we pray
you 10 grant. 1t Is that you visit the school
between this and the close. Come and see
US at work, observe the deportment of our
pupils and their interest as maaaffested in
their recitations and study. Come, for the
interest of your children is worth looking
after. Come, that you may know from OBJ
servation the status of our school; other
wise you must depend for your knowledge
of this important matter upon what you
may hear from "Tom, Dick and Harry"
Very Respectfully,

correspondent, "R. P. T., J" in regard to the
IrontOn public school. I was very much in
terested in what he had to say, as always
am when it comes TO matters of school. |
am always glad TO see old people take an in
terest in the welfare of the young, especially
when that interest is taken from an educa-
tional standpoint. If am not mistaken,
''R. p. To is one of Ironton's oldest and
most respected citizens, and one whose adj
vice and influence are worth something.
When such men turn their attention to pub
lie improvement the community prospers.
Although old, he is not an told fogy;" and
while he perhaps never enjoyed the adyan-
tages of free-schools in his boyhood days,
he, nevertheless, can appreciate something
better for the youth of the present day. We
have need of all the "R. P. T.'s" that we can
get. Every community would be better off
with liberal share of such men. How nice
| it would be for all the old people to take
such an interest in the education of the
young. Were they TO visit the schools more
| Ii would be the means of toning up the
schools very much. 1t would stimulate
both teachers and scholars to do better
work, and the result would be of almost in
calculable benefit. Let the good wife be ex-
pecting company, and see how she will hus-
tie things around and get them in presenta-
BILE shape. The same tonic is excellent for
Il school. Try it.
Acting on this principle more, and grum-
bling less, would do more to raise the STAN
dard of the common schools than anything
else. Teachers are like the rest of mankind;
they like to be encouraged. A little Judi
cious encouragement pleasantly administer
ed goes farther toward helping a teacher
conquer difficulty than most any other alter
ative. Try it and see.
One or two fault-finders in a community
are complete cure for a teacher and his
school. 1t often happens that one little
tongue, vigorously used, can do more to
spoil the peace of IA community than any
thing else in it: and when used against a
school the results are equally as disastrous.
Friendly criticism is not SANDER, and when
used in the right spirit does no one harm
and may do much good. No fair minded
person can deny this.
There are great many things which hap
pen in school that ought never to become the
common talk of the neighborhood. If the |
teacher is to be held responsible for the |
school, educationally and judicially, he |
should have the power to make and enforce |
all needful regulations pertaining to its |
and he should be allowed to |
do so without becoming the subject of COM
mon gossip throughout the community.
Such a custom, persisted in, will ruin the
reputation of any teacher, however able, and
Ihwart the aims of the most Jealous worker
in any cause. If the teacher has to whip,et
him do it without fear or favor. But if the
school can be managed without it, it is much
better and much pleasanter. Let parents
AXE more interest in the schools, assist as
much as possible in school work, encourage
both teacher and pupils as much as possible,
md see if the work is not more satisfactory.

Ten.
The deceased was born January 10, 1856,

to Mr.. L. Jefferson Hampton, who, with six
children, survives her. She fingered upon q
bed OF sickness about 4 month, but the i'm
mediate cause of her death was said to be
plcuro- pneumonia.
Though not 4 professed Christian during
her life, she was in other respects, eXempla-
nv, and in her last moments, while sorOwing
friends were bending o'er her, she softly ut
tered the words 'I've found my Savior"
Surely, 1.-THE Lord is merciiul and gracious,
slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy"
May the bereayed ones not seek comfort
ut the grave, but from him who said 81 am
the resurrection and the life; he that believ-
eth in me though he were dead yet shall he
live"
"There is no union here of hearts
That finds not here an end:
Were this frail world our final rest,
Living or dying, none were best"
sThere is !. world above
Where parting is unknown;
A long eternity of love
Formed for the good alone;
And faith behods the dying here
Translated to that glorious sphere"

Iowa in 1865 to Miss Mary 4. Leonard, who

years, he engaged in the newspaper business,
being printer. In 1873, he with his family,
now consisting of wife and two children,
came to Ironton, where the latter resided
until quite recently. Mr.. r., for several
years after coming here, followed the pro-
fession of photographer, visiting various
sections in the pursuit of his calling. Last
summer he became connected with the
Crystal City Mirror, and was stricken down
while working on that paper. He leaves a
wife and two bright children-a son and
daughter-tJ moul n his decease. They have
the sympathy of the whole community, who
with them depore the loss of a good man
who was kind friend, a faithful husband,
and loving father.
The remains of the deceased were buried
in the Masonic cemetery here, and the last
sad offices were attended to by a delegation
Of the Il. of L., of which he was Appointment
member. His family desire to make ac-
