So full, in fact, it will hardly contain them !;
even their heads and their heels stick out of
the family culver in more than one sense. If
you judge marriage as a success or failure
by the olive branches mine surely is n COM
plete success. If you judge from a financial
standpoint, it is failure. If contentment,
happiness and peace have anything to do with
success or failure, l surely have made it an en-
tire success. If any OF the boys have no life
partners yet, allow me to say they have missed

centennial year let this be the
most memorial decoration that has

with the flowers Of May in honor
OF their hard struggle and death for
the liberty and freedom Of our be-
loved country. Probably wehave
no soldier laid to rest in our bur-

twenty-six years ago.

you always have a champion in
your home paper, and those who
stands up for.yon should certainly

s EDITORS BASNER:-Please allow
me through the columns of your
valuable paper, the privilege of
announcing to the people land
especially the teachers) of this
county, that our Institute will be
held at Logan G. H., commencing
on the 18th day of July 1889; and
conducted by Prof. J. w. Wiigal.
| want to solicit and urge every
teacher in the county to be pres
ent, and show to the public that
they are in earnest in their work.
By doing so, they will gain the
confidence of the people, and
thereby encourage, and probably
induce the Boards Of Education
tie pay better wages; which is one
Of the great requisites to the adj
yancement of education. There
are great many teachers who
will come up after Institutes and
examinations are all over, with
out any excuse of attendance,
and sneakingly ask for a certifi-
cate when they know it is plain
violation of law to give them one.
Such teachers are always behind,
for it is in the Institutes that we
catch new ideasand methods. of
instructions, which is so neces-
sary to success.
Besides the teachers, there are
a great many others who could
attend and help us ON with. our
great work May we hope to see
our little town crowded at that
time, for every teacher in the
county is expected to be there.
We have an able instructor and
cannot afford to miss his lectures.
So let us prepare ourselves and
come. with the expectationof do
ing something, and making our
Institute asnccess if we do this,
we will feel proud of the time
spent and so away with brighter
intellects, stronger and better
prepared every way TO enter our
great field Of labor for the conn
ing year.
