that we have very sparing thanks for
are sending us. What difference can
1T make whether one man attends their
fair or another. so long as they have re-
ceived more even than the equivalent
of the tickets value in advertising? 1t
surely is mark of nearsighted stingi-
ness that can not be eXcelled. We have
just received specimens of these tickets
from the Armada and State fair man
agements. If these people think that
all an editor has to do is to attend fairs
and such Publications they are sadly
mistaken.
Our schools have started out on
another year. Everything seems to
foretell success. Yale can rightly be
proud of its schools. 1t has one of the
best equipped buildings and most
thorough courses. Now what it needs
pie. Children should be sent regularly
to receive the best benefit from the
course. And those in the High School
should go the whole year for then
more than any other time it is neces-
sary to take the whole course. We
especially wish that the people in the
towns about would notice the thorough
ness of the course and the smallness
of the tuition. Already there are five
students who come from out of town.
a good general education can be had
here for almost nothing but the time
necessarily spent.

a number of sample copies. Our sub
scriptiOn-list has never increased so
rapidly as it is increasing at present
We are making every effort TO improve
the paper, and make it substantially
and geographically correct. To give
the public good newsy local paper is
our constant effort If you are salts
fled with the paper we would be pleased
to have you call on us and surrender
your name as a subscriber. We feel
you will be repaid. We can truthfully
say that we give more news than any
other local paper in the state. In every
issue there are $50 square inches of
local reading matter and about 400
square inches of general news. that is
solid. entirely exclusive of advertise
ments. and as you can see for yourself
it is not padded out between the lines
1t is what we claim for it "a live paper
in live town.
1t seems to be necessary that we
should record another disgrace to the
town. But ii is not because we desire
a sensations; it is that it may never
happen again. Last Saturday evening.

parts. some gentleman who is SO small
as to revolt whenever his feelings are
worked upon, spoke out SO loudly as TO
interrupt the play. 1t is needless to
mention the chagrin which the whole
audience felt. not more for the mans
boorishness, than for the disgrace which
the town sustained by it. If the towns
people have not emerged from the back
woods sufficiently to be gentlemanly it
should be kept as private as possible
and not be paraded in such places for
advertisement. However. we know
that this is not the prevailing sentiment
i'll our town, but rather that it desires
to maintain an elevated feeling and
will frOwn on all such conduct.
One of the biggest reproaches that
have ever come upon our school system
is the present contest over seat on the
Board of School Examiners. The very
fact that man who has never held bet
ter than third grade certificate, does
enter INTO an election in competition
with lady, who at present holds GER
tificate of the first grade, is of itself
disgraceful, disregarding all other quail
ifications. For person to hold seat
on tins estimable Board credibly he or
she must be able to offer examinations
of the first grade. That the gentleman
in question is not able to do this is an
acknowledged fact. SO far as can be as
certained the only qualification which
the gentleman really does possess is his
politics. 1t is needless to say that this
should not enter into the question. We
are sorry to learn that Mr. Boehmer has
good case before the law. But. how
ever that may be, we suggest to the gen.
tleman that he would act wiser to re-
main where he is. He may find. after
his mighty struggle, that he has caught
shadow. There is no reason why he
could not be ousted.
