GOOD breeding, the subtle harmony
and and pleasing flavor of true po-

one word over another seemingly
its twin, but with just that differ

meaning, which creates the essence
Of good breeding. Eek.

Union Farmers Dinner.
MONTGOMERY. La, July y, 1889.

MONTGOMERY, La. July z1. iooS. |
Editor Collar Chronicle:
The farmers meeting at Mont
'gomery on last Saturday was called
to order by Bro. j. NJ. Mccain.
On motion Bro. w. B. Everett, OF
Cold Water, Winn parish, was cleo
ted chairman, and Bro. Il. M. Horn
was elected secretary.
Judge NJ. F. Machen was then IN
troduced and gave us good talk
on the subject of union and con-
| cert of action. The judge is COM
paratively ignorant of the work
ings of the order, but he has felt
the sting of oppression, and knows
the necessity Of the farmers uni
ting. Although his profession de-
bars him from joining our order,
the Judge is a good union man and
of the right kind of material.
| Bro. j. M. Mccain then gave us
short talk to fill out the time till
dinner, it being expected that Bro.
Guice and other speakers would ar
rive in short while.
Il Dinner being announced ready,
the meeting adjourned until 2 pm.
and the audience made their way
, to the tables, which were 30 or 6O
wards in length. 1t looked to me
: like there was enough for two or
three hundred people, but some
= went home to dinner, and yet SOME
said they never had anything to
? eat, SO it must be that grub was
! scarce, or else some took in enough
e to lay by their crops on.
4 At 3 o'clock the meeting was
= called to order again. Every body
had come back to hear Bro. Guice
: our popular State lecturer, but he
> failed to make his appearance, ane
is Bro. P. McManus was introduced
Il and gave a short talk on the ain
: and object of union. His address
V was brief, but to the point and ful
u of meaning.
10 Bro. H. L. Brian, our parish sec
a. rotary, was the next to speak. III
I subject was commerce" Bro b.

The Alexandria and Fort Smf4h
Railroad.

The Alexandria and Fort Smi9h
Railroad.
A special telegram in the New
Orleans papers announces the fact
that Capt. A. T. Smith, chief en-
gineer, in charge of an engineering
corps, commenced the survey on
the 22d inst, at Arcadia, on the
Alexandria and Fort Smith rail-
road. The survey is to be made
south from that point to Alexan-
dria, and the road-bed for ten or
twenty miles south from Arcadia is
| to be located at once, 80 that active
work can commence on the road as
early as possible. The road is al
ready located north from Arcadia
to the Arkansas line, but the route
from that point to Alexandria re-
mains mystery as yet. 1t is said
there are two practical routes, one
. by way of Natchitoches along the
west side of Red river, the other
ON this side of Red river, and pas
sing directly through Grant.
i Of these two contemplated ways
the one through Grant parish ap-
Ipears to have the most decided adj
vantages, being more direct, over
better ground, and removed from
Immediate competition with the i.
&P. railroad. The various parish
es along the line are making liberal
bids for the road to pass through
their respective limits, the usual OF.
fer being the same as that made bJ
Grant, to exempt the railroad from
= taxation for ten years. Natchito
ches, however, makes the stronges
l. bid of all, proposing to exempt tn
, railroad from taxation for twent..
: wears il the line is run through
or that parish. Nevertheless we ar
rs disposed to believe that Grant ha
a pretty fair show to have the roa
built through her limits, our trait
being superior to that to be expect
IT. ed on the other side of the rive
r. and the route possessing many DC
cided advantages. And, should
come to a matter of liberality, "
are confident the parishes east
Red river will hold their own, an
lean afford to donate as many yea
of tares they don't get noso, an
/. cont get if the raildrood goes {
= some other quarter, as any OF IL
lC other parishes can contribute.
We invite railroad men to exar
inc the advantages of this countr
feeling assured that they have on
to be seen to be appreciated. "
n faith is based on what we believe
y be common sense, business consl
}. erations, such as are supposed
70 influence railroad companies In
eating their lines, viz: permane

A sensible judge is told about
by the Atlanta Constitution. In
the trial of a criminal case at Lex
ington, KY, a few days since, Judge
Morton ruled that the fact of his
having formed an opinion should
not disqualify a man as a juror.
He said that one of the highest
qualifications for a juror was the
fact that he had formed an opinion
from what he had read in the pa
pers, and that a man who was not
capable of forming an opinion was
not qualified to sit in the jury box.

WINDHAM'S SUPERVISOR.

The new school law comes in force
next week Monday and at this time the
county supervisors assume jurisdiction
over the schools of the county. The first
examinations will occur on the third and
fourth Tuesdays of July. These will be
held at convenient places to be designated
by the supervisors. Notice of these ex-
aminations is published in all the news
papers of the county and will be found in
the Times this week. All the fall schools
will come under the new law and we
shall soon see its practical workings.
Captain Hall of Hinsdale, who is elected
supervisor of this county, will reside in
Brattleboro.
1t is to be hoped that the people will
make the ushering in of the new law as
easy as possible and will not let the fact
of Mr.. Hall being New Hampshire
man stand in the way of the best results
to be obtained under the system. The
law is certainly worthy of trial and let
us give it our unqualified support and
make the most of it. Mr.. Hall is thor
oughly competent educator of large ex-
perience, and will bring strength to the
work. The hints of local and state jeal-
ousy that have been thrown out in some
Quarters since his election are unworthy
of Vermont and of the broad and liberal
spirit of Windham County.

THE RAINBOW CHASER'S SON.
Calvin s. Brice's Heir Expelled from Phil
lips Exeter Academy.

Stuart Nj. Brice, son of Calvin S. Brice,
chairman of the Democratic national COM
mittee, was expelled from Phillips Acad-
envy at Exeter last week for disobedi-
ence. Brice had been studying the last
six weeks under a tutor at Harvard to
enter that university. Holidays and
certain festive occasions brought him to
Exeter and as his money and good will
were both freely distributed among his
school mates he always received the
warmest welcome. so that the faculty
found his influence detrimental and for
babe his coming. Brice conformed to
this order until Saturday. when the great
ball game between the Andover and Exc
ter mines was to take place. That proved
too great temptation and he came to
Exeter in the afternoon, Joined the crowd
on the campus, and Immediately became
one of the leading spirits. Brice is fair
scholar, an athlete, and general favorite
among the students. 1t was generally
| believed that his disobedence of the Or
der would he overlooked, for although
he has been frequently reprimanded, yet
| the faculty had always dealt leniently
with him. But on Monday morning
| Brice was expelled from the academy.
His diploma was withheld, and he was not
permitted to take part in the class day
exercises, notwithstanding his name APP
peared on the programme as class histo-
rian. The young man was obliged to
telegraph his mother and sister, who
were on their way to commencement,
not to come. The senior class could not
hear his history at the regular class day
exercises, but assembled later, when it
was given and received much applause.
He was chosen as the president of the

A Counter Claim,

A Moncton doctor was accosted few
days ago by citizen who informed him
that his daughter had two teeth he wished
to have extracted. As the doctor did
not have any instruments with him, he
was asked to bring them the next time
he went on his rounds, which he did.
Going into the house, he requested the
citizen to stand by his horse while he was
extracting the teeth. When he had COM
pleted the operation, he went out and
was asked what his charge would be, and
replied fifty cents, which is half the reg
ular charge. The citizen, who, it is pre-
sumed. had never had much dental work
done, turned pale, but quickly recover
ing himself, put in counter claim Of
twenty-five cents for holding the horse,
and had it admitted.-Moncton On. b.
