To My Patrons and Citizens:

August 12.-I have heard a or eat
many expressions made about the coal
business since our great benefactor has
sprung up, claiming he will sell from
1000 to 5000 ton of coal. at about so
cents per ton below any regular dealer.
1t was foolish to pay any attention to
his talk. The old saying is ga barking
dog never bites;" but, unfortunately
my neighbor, Mr.. McGolrick got angry
and cut the price. I think my reason
for getting angry is greater than his, as
| have to meet the opposition of a
former partner, who is taking orders
for another dealer, under the pretense
that be is now partner of said dealer.
| came to the conclusion if our ocular
dealers would cut and slash, would
not remain in the rear, therefore, I
will until further notice, sell the same
coal we have been handling at cut
price of rs so per ton, cash, extra charge
of % cents per ton for carrying, for i'm
mediate delivery. Our new beginner
claims we have been robbing the pub
lie. If he will figure the cost of coal I
think he will come to the conclusion
that he is robbing himself I claim sell
ing coal at $3.50 is loss of 20 cents per
ton to any dealer that handles good
coal and cleans 1t. Thelreason why say
immediate delivery is, people have
been holding back with their orders,
and if they keep doing so for few
weeks longer, cars will be used fol-
! handling of grain and then it will be i'm.
possible to get coal fast enough to sup.
ply the demand. THEo. HUBER.

was not expected even by the most ar

His Plymouth Rock Address.
T dare not attempt to make an unmed.

Let ne say, however, that I have long
wanted to stand where I stand to-day,
and drink deep the inspiration of this
great spot. I recall the immortal mes.
sage sent by Samuel johnson from the
Hebrides: "Little to be envied is that
man whose patriotism does not gain force
on the field of Marathon end whose piety
does not grow warmer amid the ruins
ofdona." Let me say to you what may
sound strange coming from Georgian,
and yet it is Internationally true. I
have son who is the pride and the hope
of my life. God knows want him to be
a good man and good citizen. There
is no spot in all this broad land-nor in
all this world, where had rather have
him come to learn the lessons of right
citizenship, of individual liberty, of
heroism and fortitude and justice, than
the spot on which his father stands to- day
reverent and uncovered"

At New Prospect we found our quon.
dam school boy friend, MI. w. =. Miller,
teaching the young idea how to shoot"
BE had only about twenty pupils the
day we called, out of a possible eighty or
more, but this is the case everywhere We
have been, and is accounted for by the
fact that the people have been greatly
pressed to take care of their abundant
crops this year. We saw here more Of
the "blue-backs" than any place ne
have been to. It is one of the strange
things that people will go and buy, not
simply this book, but any other, before
they send their children to school and
hear from the teacher what is wanted.
Are the patrons aware Of the fact that
the law expressly prohibits the School
Commissioner from signing the school
claims where books are used that are
prohibited by Law? 1t is not question
as to whether the law is right or wrong,
but simply what it is eur duty to do
under the law. Then don't buy books
until you know of the teacher what to
buy.

Sound from a Rainbow.

One of the most wonderful discoveries
in science that have been made within
the last year or two is the fact that a beam
of light produces sound. A beam of sun
light is thrown through lens on glass
vessel that contains lamp black, colored
silk or worsted, or other substances. A
disk having slits or openings cut in it is
made to revolve swiftly in this beam of
light, SO as to cut it up, thus making al
ternate flashes of light and shadow. On
putting the ear to the glass vessel strange
soundslare heard SC long as the flashing
beam is falling on the vessel.
Recently more wonderful discovery
has been made. The beam of sunlight
is made to pass through prism, SO as to
produce what is called the solar spectrum,
or rainbow. The disk is turned and the
colored light Of the rainbow is made to
break through it. Now, place the ear to
the vessel containing the silk, wool or
other material. As the colored lights of
the spectrum fall upon it sounds will be
given by different parts OF the spectrum,
and there will be silence in other parts.
For instance, if the vessel contains red
worated and the green light flashes upon
t,:.loud sounds will be given. Only fee.
BILE will be heard when the red and blue
parts of the rainbow fall upon the vessel ,
and other colors make no sound at all.
Green silk gives sound best in:red light.
Every kind Of material gives more or lesa
sound in different colors, and utters no
sound in Others. The discovery is 8
strange one, and it is thought more won
derful things will come from it.-Chris.

All the schools in the County are in
full blast now, and will be for the next
three or four months, and there is great
responsibility resting upon both teachers
and parents in order to secure the best
results. The heavier responsibility, per-
haps, rests upon the teachers by reason
of the great opportunities that are daily
present with them for accomplishing
much good. These children of the
County will be with US in the school
room day after day for months. They
will receive impressions and instructions
from us that will be as lasting as eternity
itself, and let us see. to it that We come
up to the full measure of our oppcrtuni-
ties, for the greatness e our opportuni.
ties is the measure of ourFesponsibility.
This work of teaching immostal minds is
serious business; then let US devote our.
selves to it seriously, putting away from
ourselves all thoughts and plans for ftolic
and frivolity, not that there is no time or
place for such things, but that this is not
the time, nor the school room the place
for these things. Let us make our school
room the burden of our thoughts by day,
and of our dreams by night. Let us
carry it continually in our minds and
near our hearts, always on the alert for
something to promote the best interests
of our children, and to make our schools
centres of influence, and fountains Of
blessing in and to the communities
where they are located. And parents,
too, share with their teachers large
measure of responsibility in this matter.
They should see to it that they give to
their teachers cordial and undivided
support and corporation. Let your
children see that you are interested in
and about the school, and manifest that
interest by a prompt and regular attend.
