Rev. B. H. Smith is conducting
series of meetings at this place. The
lainy weather has prevented the pro-
gress to some extent, but hope there
may be success yet.
Rev. John Edwards of your city is
expected to be with us.
Health is good, as there is no sick
ness In this vicinity.
Threshing engines have been max
ing music for us for the last week or
two, but we hear this music no more
as they have finished their work here.
The yield has been generally good.
A COW belonging to Mr.. s. H.
Butts happened to get too near the
edge of a well few days ago and
slipped into 1t. AS there were some
men working near by, she was drawn
from the well without serious injur-
les. This is warning TO keep wells
closed, for fear of worse.
School at this place begun Sept. Sd,
with a good enrolment. The aver
age this far is about %.
There are a great many more who
might be going besides these, as there
are liz youths enumerated in this
Sub. Dist.
1t is well for parents to think that
this is harvest time for their children
and put forth every effort to send
them to school. Also it is we'll for
them to question themselves as to
the spirit with which they send their
children to the teacher. Is it with
the earnest wish to cooperate in the
effort to advance their education?
Are you prepared to extend pleas
ant encouragement and words Of good
cheer to those who are to instruct
your boys and girls

their task easy, by setting the exam
pie of respect for their authority and
qualifications?
Because they are paid the little SAL
airy of S26 or $50 a month is no reason
why they should be despised and ridi-
culed in their work which is of such
infinite Importance.
The Republicans here seem to be
somewhat elated and jubilant over
the great Republican success in
Maine. This shows that she means
to come forward the 9Th of Novem-
Der and vote for protection to home
industries.
We have Republican club at this
place numbering about IS, one at
Johnsontown of 80, one at Tomahawk
numbering over 70 and also one at
Jones Springs.
We as Republicans are tired wait
ing the fulfillment of the promises
made four years ago, by our Demo.
cratic friends, viz: plenty Of work,
abundance of money and good
times generally, when "tEe rascals !"
| las our Democratic friends denominat-
ed them.) were turned out Office.
We have failed to see the charge for
the better thus far, and do not expect
to see it until we, as Republicans and
Protectionists, rally in Nov. and elect
Benjamin Harrison and Levi P. Nor
ton, which means Protection to the
laborers of these United States.
Some one has rightly said that
"charity should begin at home."
| We think it right and proper to pro-
tect home industries and let other
Nations attend to theirs.
In the language of the Jones
Springs correspondent of last week,
we would say hurrah for Kitchen,
Wood, Butts and all the other Repub-
lican candidates. The ticket is a good
one, and if elected we believe the
duties of the different offices will be
discharged with all fidelity.
The Petersburg club meets Tues
day night of each week. All republi.
cans are invited to attend, and will
have welcome whenever they come.
If the Republicans be in earnest
from now until Nov. 9th, we shall be
victorious, and have Benjamin Har-
risson and Levi P. Morton at the
head of our nation, which means pro-
lection and prosperity.
