PRIMARY ELECTION.

At a meeting of the Iron County Demo.
cratic Executive Committee, at Ironton
on Monday, April 2Stn, $780,
On motion, it was ordered that a Primary
Election be held on Saturday, August I'd
1890, to nominate candidates for the various
county offices, and the following rules were
adopted 20 govern the same:
The judges and clerks of election will be
sworn to not violate the secrecy of the ballot
and the former to take charge Of the ballots
and poll-books and cause them to be safely
delivered at the county seat to the Chairman
of the Executive Committee.
Judges will not permit illegal voting, and
in cases of doubt they will cause the voter
to be sworn.
No voter will be permitted to cast his ball
lot at any other than his home precinct.
Judges will see this rule strictly enforced.
Only Democrats and those who will in
good faith pledge themselves to support the
Democratic ticket SO nominated, will be
permitted to vote at this election-the judges
of election to determine their eligibility in
this respect.
Candidates for county offices will be charg-
ed a fee Of $500, and for township offices,
$250-the fee to be paid before the candi-
dates name can be put on the ticket. Pro-
vIjed, that an additional assessment will be
made if found necessary.
The usual fees will be paid judges, clerks
and messengers.

Our Granite Quarries.

We reprint that portion of Bulletin No.
of the Geological! Survey of Missouri, refer
ring to the granite deposits and fuarcies o;
Iron county. The paper is the production
Of G. +. Ladd, Esq, who is engaged in
making thorough examination of the min
eral resources of this section:
In township 81 north, range 3 east, on the
southern half of the line dividing sections 10
anu II, are two quarries which have been
operated since 1882 by the "syenite Granite"
company. These quarres are probably the
largest in the State. they are admirably
located on hill slopes, which location per-

! mits of their being drained by syphons.
The rock is red granite, exposed in extern
sive outcrops, generally with thin cover,
| lily quarrIed, having good "bedding" plane,
and vertical joint planes, in sufficient guam
titles to assist the quarryman greatly in get
ting out stones, and yet not so abundant as
to prevent the obtaining of very large blocks.
The color of this stone is red or dark pink,
mottled with gray and black, the red shades
being due to feldspar, the others to a more
or less smoky quartz. The rock takes
high, lustrous and handsome polish; but on
account of excessive hardness, it is very diff
ficult to dress.
The plant consists of switch about three
miles long, which connects the quarries with
the Iron Mountain & Southern railway, a
locomotive and two stationary engines, two
steam travellers, yertico and lathe pol
Usher, several derrlcks. steam drills, an office,
store, extensive sheds, work shops, etc.
The product since 1882 is about 23O,O0o
cubic feet of dimension stone, about 5,0e0,-
0On paving blocks, and large amount of
"rip-rap," which has been used for ballast
by the Iron Mountain Il Southern railway,
and also extensively in the manufacture of
granitoid pavement and sidewalk flags.
Among the largest pieces OF dimension
stone which have been quarried here are:
The Allen monument in Pittsield, Mass,
which is A. feet high and IA feet square at
the base, and weighs about A. tons; the col
umns in the front Of the Studebaker build
ing, in Chicago, which are ten in number
and are each Is feet high and Al feet in di- |
ameter, and weigh about Is IONS; and the |
window sills in Chicago building, on Ad- |
ans street, between Fifth avenue and |
Franklin street, which axe each feet square |
by II feet inches long.

ter class of teachers applying for our schools
and they should be willing to allow them q
remuneration commensurate with their
worth and labor.
OUTLINE OF WORK.
The work will consist Of thorough re-
view in the essentials of all subjects requir-
ed for Second Grade Certificate. The course
will be SO arranged that each class will re-
celye five lessons a week, and the subject
matter so DIVIDED that the entire subject
viii be covered during the term. Students
Will be required to make special preparation
for each recitation, particular attention be-
ing given to approved class methods. Stu
dents may bring any books they may have
on the branches required, and we will so ar
range the work that any modern text book
can be used
Those young teachers who, not having
had the advantage Of systematic instruction,
find their progress slow, painful and unsat-
isfactory, so as not seldom to discourage
their most persistent efforts-to persons of
this class, experience has shown these sum-
mer "Normals" to be so eminently service
able that, in the interest Of the profession,
and with a view to promote familiarity with
the fundamental principles of education,
hardly less than in respect of his private
emolument, the conductor of this Institute
would fain see his young brethren try for
themselves the value OF four weeks so spent.
The fee for the entire term will be due
and payable at the beginning of the course.
Board may be had at moderate rates say S3
per week, for meals, rooms and furniture.
would recommend that those desiring to
engage board, make their arrangements in
advance and thereby save the loss of day
or two after the opening. Parties desiring
to do SO may cali upon me and L will direct
them in the matter, or, if preferred, make
your own arrangements.
