For or Against.

Remember that next Monday is
the day on which the stockhold-
ers of the Hardin County A. s. NJ.
Association will meet to discuss
and vote upon the question of sell
ing the old grounds and buying
new. This is a question that
should be considered from a bust
ness rather than from sentiment
al standpoint. The buildings and
fencing on the present grounds
are in a dilapidated condition and
will be unsafe for further use so
that it will be necessary to expend
considerable money before the
holding of another fair. This
could be done only by assessing
the present stock. The expendi
ture of a very great amount OIL
the old grounds would not meet
with favor as the grounds are moi
nor cannot be made attractive
neither are they suitable for
modern exhibition. Every stock
holder come out and express hi
individual wish so that it canno
be said that few of the stock
holders did or did not remove.

LITERARY NOTES.

The Christmas edition of the
Cosmopolitan Magazine is one
hundred thousand copies. The
order, as originally given to the
printers, was for $4,000 copies, but
while on the press it was thought
advisable to increase the number
to 100000.
L. contains a feature never be-
fcfo attempted by any magazine,
consisting of 1913 cartoons from
the brush of Dan Beard, the now
famous artist, who did such won
derful illustrations in Mark Twain's
book, "The Yankee at the Court
of King Arthur"
These cartoons are placed at
the bottom of each page of the
magazine, and take for their sub
ject, "Christmas during the Eigh.
teen Centuries of the Christian
Era" with variations, showing the
way in which we modern chris.
tians carry out some of the chief
texts of the Christian Gospel.
Above and at each side of the
page is a quaint border, the whole
effect being novel and extremely
pleasing and with the unusually
varied table of contents, will make
such a Christmas number az il
worthy to go into more than 100,
600 households.
The frontispiece of the Cosmo
pOlitan have of late become notet
for their beauty some of then
having as much as four printings
That for Christmas while in bu
two printings, is not behind any
thing that has preceded it in arts
tic merit.
An excellently illustrate d articl
is one on teapots, by Eliza Ru
hannah ScidmOre. Literary BOsto
is treated with numerous portraits
and an article which comes wit
the ninetieth birthday of Vo
Moltke, sketches the life of tn
great Field Marshal in an interes
ing way, and is by Gen. Jane
Grant Wilson. Elizabeth Bislan
has one of her charming articles.
The Christmas Issue contain
22S illustrations, nearly double tn
number that have ever appeare
in any Illustrated magazine.

EDUCATIONAL.

/ There have been thoughts ex-
pressed in our own upon the sub
ject of q five-years public school,
and for the most parts we are
proud to say the proposition is
meeting with favor. Our Oppor-
tunities were never better to do
something for the up-building of
our town. We can easily enhance
the value of our property; can fill
our tenantless houses with citizens
who are interested in the educa-
ton of their children and who will
make us good neighbors, if we but
take the proper steps.
When we are incorporated and
advertised our educational advan-
tages will at once be seen by 9th
ers as we'll as ourselves, when
looking for somewhere to place
their children. We are known far
beyond our borders as a peaceful,
quiet and christian people.
Our town is noted for being one
of the most healthful in the State.
There has not been a death among
the pupils of our schools for years
and compare vely little sickness.
We are situated in one of the
richest agricultural Districts of
the Tenn ssee valley. An educa-
! tional outlook is one among our
best advantages and should we
not utilize our opportunity to do
something in this line, we certain-
ly would fail to discharge our du-
ties to ourselves and the youths
of our town. Savannah can most
assuredly be something if the
proper efforts are made by the
proper ones. But if we sit supine-
ly on the seat of do-nothing, we
may expect to las we have been
doing see our Young men leave
our midst with their money and
enter the portals of Seminaries
with which we could soon rival or
even excel with but an effort.
i To speak of Railroads, Manu-.
factories and great many other
enterprises, is to speak of that
which we expect others to do for
us; but not so with the school: we
must of necessity be the founders;
''it's chiefly our own work." the
products of our own labor and
when seen we will only be the
= more attractive.
These are a few thoughts of one
who is interested in putting the
cohorts of ignorance to flight; ir
) the improvement of society and
the up-building of the many with
no detriment to any.
] look np0n the scions of oul
midst and see they need prunnins
: and to prepare for future admins
trations see but little hope unl9s!
an united effort is made for th'
perpetuity of such instruction al
: we now are receiving. The effec
of a public school can easily b'
r seen, as there are few children il
+ our District that are not attendin,
;. school, fact of which we may al
be proud. A SUBSCRIBER.

The RectOr's Famous Buit Against
 Lawyer Quackenbos.
 NEW YORK, March 26.-The famous libel suit brought by Rev. D. Charles Fl. Rylance, rector of St. Marks church, against Nicholas Quaokenbos, the distinguished lawyer and vestryman of the church, went to the jury today. The case was called yesterday and . long, hard, and what was to be . celebrated legal battle, was confidently expected.
 The jury retired st 1;:15 o'clock and after staying out about half an hour returned with a verdict awarding the plaintiff O.000 and $500 supplementary for coats. Judge Fullerton at once moved for stay of pro- csedings, but Judge Sedgewick said he could see no reason for granting such a mo- tion.
