Charley Branch who at different times
has been type setter in the GOLD LEAF
Office, has taken a similar position on
the Durham Dailg Globe. He is a good
printer and will "set his length with the
rest OF them. There is nothing CROOKED"

straight"
Many of the schools about here are
now opened for business, and the youths
OF the vicinity are consequently supposed
to be indulging in their sorrowful feelings
as is usual at such times. But, boys and
girls, you should love to go to school.
Study hard while you have the opportu-
nifty, for you will realize the value of an
education one of these days.

Now approacheth the time of the coun-
ty fair, when the politician and lawyer
declaimeth to the agriculturist about
that which he knoweth not, but which a
foolish custom demandeth he should
crate. Why do not farmers have scien-
tifc, practical farmers speak to them at
their great gatherings instead of politi-
clans and lawyers p Waterloo Observer.

ceiving and opening the largest and
