Death Of a Worthy Lady.
DISTRICT No. 9.

DISTRICT No. 9.
Mrs. Julia Anne burst, wife of
Commissioner Michael burst. died
at their home, one mile east of JOB n
sous, on the 9th of January, 1890,
AT the age of 81 years. She had been
distressingly i'll for mere than year
-bed-ridden much of the time-but
all her ills were borne with great
patience. Relentless death had no
terrOrs for her. Long suffering al.
most prepared her to bid him well
come. Her remains were inferred
on the Goth of January, at the John
son church. She was the second
daughter of Jacob Yeast. of one
of the oldest families in the county,
and granddaughter, through her
mother, of the late Samuel Brown.
She was married to her surviving
husband in 1912. Leaves s living
children. four of each sex. all now
in the west, except one son and one
daughter at or near home. George
M. the oldest son is an editor and
prominent man in Missouri. All
these children are remarkable for
their brightness. intelligence, ex-
cellent behavior and well.doing. A
happy and well-trained family, but
widely scattered i'm situations. A
life long Methodist in religion. Julia
ia sweet namp) was a faithful, up
right and home.staying wife. and a
prudent. true and watchful mother,
hence the large family of unering
children. The worthy and respected
husband and father survives in his
sorrows at Psslmist age. alone in the
world, with the exception of his
single daughter. Maggie. who for
many wesrisome months has shown
almost sacrificing devotion to her
parents, now one here and one hence,

On last Friday Briarbend Seminary
gave to its patrons and friends an
other of its excellent literary and
musical entertainments, which was
the closing up of the first term. The
young people. or rather pupils, did
admirably in all their exercises, re-
fiecting great credit upon the instruc-
tors. No wonder one of the visitors
said I wish 1 was girl again so that
l might attend just such school as
this. We feel highly favored in
having the opportunities and adyan-
tages it affords to us. Everything
and everybody is kept in perfect or
der, even the floor is kept bright and
clean, yet Christian love is the con-
straining and ruling power. The
second term began on Monday of this
week. with pleasant and encourag-
ing prospects,.
A heavy snow fell here on last
Saturday which was nearly a foot
deep. On Sunday the rain began to
fall, and by Monday evening the
snow was nearly all turned into
water, which has put the streams out
of their banks.

week. La grippe has given nearly

The weather is warm and bright
to-day. just like spring, and the men

recent communication in a Garrett

the following query-Yiz: us gram

That grammar Is not considered a
necessary qualification for a teacher
is conclnSively SHOWN in many Of
the numerous reports which from
time to time are boldly exhibited in
the papers. These displays of van.

fact that their appearance in the col
umns of reputable paper gives them
apparent endorsement. and thus fur
nish erroneous models of syntax for
the rising generation. "The spring
cannot rise higher than its source"
and if the teachers are incomplete
what hope is there fer the advance
ment and proper education of the
pupils?
On account of the high taxes with
which our people are hurdened l am
fully aware that the compensation
allowed to teachers will not secure a
superior class and we must he con-
tent, for the present. with those of
mediocre attainments. But every
teacher should he proficient in the
grade in which he is commits, toned
to teach, and should not assume TO
do that which is beyond his capac-
ity to do right. Teachers, as we'll AS
pupils. can learn as they 60. hut in

Tho hours talk on ballot reform
last night BY Thomas r. Graham in
the rooms Of the Young Meme Demo.
cratic Club, was timely and interesting.
The audience also was entirely sym
pathetic, though divergent perhaps on
minor deiails. The speaker was .
young man, not much past his ma.
Iority, but has evidently given the
bubject much thought and attention.
The prevailing opinion that Mr.. Gra-
ham was q member OF the Legislature
u one time within few years Was
sfroneous. That honor belonged to
bic iather. . typical farmer Of Kenton
Hundred, who sympathizes with his
BON In bis opinions and efforts, and
Vas present last night to hear him
lecture.
Mr.. Graham was more earnest than
duent, but succeeded in a very pleasant
manner In giving more information in
regard to the different ballot systems
that have been in vogue in different
parts of the world than the major part
Of the audience had ever heard before.
VI oil the systems Mr.. Graham had
selected the Australian for his adyo
cacy % coming the neareet to meeting
The real wants OF ballot reform. The
pystem Itself varies In different places,
70 suit circumstances and various con-
ditions Of life. The great principle,
however, he holds intact, and that is
perfect secrecy In voting and perfect
protection In the voter voting
bis own sentiments. These are the
cardinal principles of the Australian
ballot system. All else are minor de.
tsils How best 10 subserve these
principles has become the great aues-
lion with ballot reiormers.
Mf. Graham, though no doubt an
enthusiastic young Democrat, could
not he known az such in his remarks.
lie very wisely abstained from casting
my reflections upon those who could
not see their way clear to vote for the
bill he prepared and had offered in the
Legislature, and which was defeated,
u Is said, by Republican votes. lie
was disposed TO take charitable view
OF the matter, as the issue was new
nne and not liable to be properly uu-
derstood in day, month or year,
but he was sure that ballot reform was
growing, that 1t was sure to come, and
he regretted that Delaware could not
now take her place as the first State 10
adopt ballot reform, 40 she had in rati-
flying the Constitution OF the United
Htates. The vote of thanks to MIR.
Graham at the close Of the meeting
was very properly bestowed, and the
Young Mems Democratic Club are en-.
titled to credit for anording such an
opportunity OF hearing something about
This improved system of voting.
