To Parents and Pupils.

The ensuing month will be devoted mainly
to reviewing, for the purpose of fixing more
permanently and accurately in the minds of
pupils, facts over which we have passed. 1t
is hoped that parents will not too rigidly as
sert the privilege of keeping their children
at home," for at the close of this month there
will he an examination upon which a re-
grading of the school will be based. No
pupil can reasonably expect Except In case
of sickness) to be excused from this exam
nation; nor will any pupil, who carelessly
absents himself during this month, aud who
is absent at the close, be readmitted 70 his
class without first undergoing a similar test
of prog ess. Besides, those who attend most
regularly and respond most promptly 10 the
work assigned then will all the better enjoy
the coming holidays. Pupils, appeal to
you directly, let us see if we can not make
this months work a decided improvement
over that of any previous month. All who
are not absent or tardy during December
shall wear, as badge of honor, a blue rib
bon inscribed "Ironton Public School-not
absent or tardy-December, 1885,"

1t is known as scientific fact that action
and reaction are equal, and in opposite di-
rection; hence times have. been unusually
dull-fnancially and otherwise-since the

ton of time till re action will reach its OPP
posite.

Hardy did not care to discriminate between
them. Yet, as thoogian he is fully up

analogy between them they are left in con

james Holt, young miner at Pilot Knob.
came down to Ironton to attend church, last
Sunday four weeks ago. Returning home
after services, at the depot he jumped aboard
the pusher which was just then pulling out
Tor Pilot Knob. Holt lived in that part of
the Knob known as New England, and the
railroad passes directly through it. When
the engine got that far, he jumped off, fell,
and struck his head upon IA stone, infiicting
painful wound. Notwithstanding ply
sician's care, death resulted from the acct

and intense suffering, last Monday at 2
