We had a very pleasant call week or SO
ago by DR.. s. 2. Hite of your city, in the
interest of his most valuable remedies. A
| true type of the Virginia gentleman can
be found in him. Possessed of that genial
! disposition and gentlemanly bearing that
win so many admirers. Hope be will visit
! our town oftener in the future.
Bark hauling is going on at rapid rate by
| Messrs. Austin & Ellison, Hall & Sweeney
and others. The Messrs. Deford & Co.
have not commenced hauling yet, but WILL
by September 1st. Their peeling this year
is estimated at from 1900 to 1900 cords.
Lyndhurst is the point from which it is
being shipped. Most of it goes to the
Luray tannery.
Politics at this place are very quiet at
present. Hope some good speakers will
give US good address or so.
We are needing rain very badly again.
The corner loafers mentioned by e. C..
l., not only have the sun to contend with
but he also has that fearful gnat to subdue
and he can be seen early in the morning
and late in the evening keeping time to
the music of that monster by slapplng
right and left at them, and moreover we
mean to fog "E. c, I.' if he does not ap-
pear oftener. He has been toating bark
heretofore and now he means to make a
change by putting a wagon on the road.
We wish him the greatest success NAV
he ever live long and happy. If | had the
brains he has, | would not toat bark or
haul it either, rs he can talk politics so
tluenty, and with his ready wit and good
sound judgment, be would make an excel
lent campaign speaker.
This is my first attempt at anything of
this kind, and | hope Messrs. Editors
that you and the reading public will look
over all grammatical errors. Fearing I
might tire you, vanish.

PAYING THE DOODLE PIDDLIRs

In the news columns will be found a
statement Of the account, compiled from
register of county orders, of the doodle"
investigation.
1t Is none too high, though II runs up to
5000 and over.
Some or the items are unique.
Mr.. Moloney says he will recommend that
his associates be paid al the rate 1925 a
day. These attorneys will be pleased to
note that he recommends the CSC In add
ton to the Sc 90. 1t shows he has care
fully figured out what they are worth to
him to nicely.
No one expects, as matter Of fact, that
the attorneys themselves also have figured 1t
out 80 carefully, however. Indeed, no one
with good sense ought TO expect man of
MIR. Brewers capacity, experience and
prestige as lawyer to put In his time for
La Sale county AT IS 25 day when he has
plenty of office work that pays him three
or four times that amount of money.
Mr. Casper Fischer's little claim Is also
interesting Summoned as a witness for
the people in criminal case, he was enti.
tied to no fees; but MIR. Fischer suggests
that he will be eternally blessed If he will
work for La Sale county for nothing.
The county attorney therefore put In a
bill for Mr.. F's valuable services, labeled
advice" which was paid. Mr.. Fischer's
advice does not come high certainly, only
$40 and odd cents for several days of II,
including travelling expenses. No body
ought to kick at that--it IL hardly expert
ditch digger's wages, and cheap as most
articles of advice" usually are. But there
are mean men who look at the acceptance
OF the money as sort of grab" and will
make remarks about 1t, especially when 1t
is remembered that Caspar has been won {
at times past to make It briefly redt hot for
the poodlers when the board was on dress
parade.
The item for the financial report may be
questioned by some, but as that Job was

At the Central Illinois Teachers Asso-

Piusfeld treating of the proper scope and
function of the high school, maintained
that high school courses should be prepare.
tory to college education. This preparation
should be made the central idea, the high
school diploma being evidence of the
fitness of Its pOssessor to enter the State
University. At present only one in ten
who completed high school courses goes
farther. Now, if not one pupil in ten goes
farther than the high school, why make
him spend all those years in work leading
up to higher things which from the neces-
stiles of the case he can never enjoy or take
advantage of? Why not teach him in those
years something that will be an assistance
to him in earning the living he must begin
to earn the minute he goes out of the high
school? 1t is not practicable to teach him
trade, but several years of schooling
should enable pupil to define the differ
ence between handsaw and bootjack.

Geo w. w. Blake has just returned from
Springfield, where he presented the petit
ton of Susan Bakalor, convict In the state
penitentiary at Joliet for one year, for
bigamy. 1t seems from all accounts that
she Is innocent of the crime of bigamy,
though appearances were against her. Mr..
Blake's position is heartily endorsed by
Judge Blanchard and by States Attorney
Moloney; and, as the woman is clearly
more sinned against than sinner In this
matter, i: is hoped that the Governor will
look at it favorably and grant her q pardon.

Elsewhere will De found the announce

Elsewhere will be found the announce
ment of Mr.. Moses Osman as candidate
for the assessorship. 1t is good sign to
see men like Mr.. Osman coming forward
for the town offices, which pay so little
as a rule that few business men care to be
bothered with them. Mr.. Osman happens
to have the time TO devote to the work.
He is first-class, successful business man Z;
has had rather more than common expert
ence In the work of estimating values In
many different lines of business; Is thor
oughly honest and conscientious; has no
axes to grind; and is altogether one of the
very best men for the position that the
people of Ottawa could possibly select to
give them fair and just assessment.
