Ed. Register-Since "Wandering Minis
treI" has failed to come again L shall at
tempt to give few items from this point.
Times, socially and otherwise, are about
normal. The parties who own he thresh.
ing machine formerly owned by Messrs.
Bell Il V0lne are now in this vicinity doing
some tirst-claSS work, 1t IS said that the
yield of wheat both in quality and quantity
is much better than anticipated; and since
meadows were good, and corn will yield not
less than - per cent. of an ordinary crop,
farmers have resumed their former smile,
congenlal to their beng.
The time for the Primary draweth near;
aud ere this reaches you the fate of many a
candidate will have been aScertained, and
those who may be defeated will be on their
road to Taum Sank or some other seaport.
The Sacramento meeting at Goodand on
tie fourth Sabbath was grand success,
large concourse of people being present.
Among those from a distance who were
present l note the following: Mr.. Thos.
Bel! and Mrs. Rayfeld, Black, Mo-; F. M.
Anderson, GoOdwater; G.. w. Lashley and
daughter, Belleview; Mr.. and Mrs. G. W..
Bell, Black, Mo. Many other localities were
represented.
Not long ago gentleman from Belleview
was out here working in the interest of the
Farmers Labor Union. He failed to organ
ze here, but am informed will return in
the near future for that purpose. The farm
ers, can if they will, accomplish great good
by such an organization. In the Democrat
ic State Convention, Tennessee, the Farmers
Alliance man got the nomination for Goyer-
nor.
School opened in Goodand Dist. on It'll
ult., and up to date has an enrollement OF
about forty. The attendance is good, and
the pupils are interested. There has been
some little comment because the teacher
refused to teach higher mathematics with
out extra pay, when no definite grade was
named in the contract. For the benefit OF
those who may think that the teacher was
all wrong and no right, quote the follow
ing from the "new" law: "No board should
introduce into any primary school br anches
other than those herein manifestation
1923. The teacher who teaches
these branches successfully in a country
school has more than enough to do, without
having other work crowded upon him; for
should the board introduce algebra, ETC., for
the purpose of accommodating the children
of certain influential citizens, other patrons
have right to demand that Latin or survey
ing shall be taught. II a teacher
enters into q contrac. and no fixed course of
study is prescribed by the board, the board
has no power thereafter to force subjects in
to said course not included in section S023."
The teacher in question taught algebra and
higher arithmetic in Camp Ground school
to on-resident pupils, but those studying
them paid 200 per month tuition.
Not long ago Mr.. Frank Minor, an eXem-
plary young man of Edge Hill, suddenly be-
came insane. He was examined by the
County Board of Health and then sent to the
asylum.
Mrs. John NJ. Lathin has been quite sick
for several days, but is now convalescing.

Delilah Rayteld.
Mr. d. r. Adams made trip to Granite
vile on the LIST inst.
A trip was made to Foote not long ago,
and business was tiourishing.
