After all, the children and the country
generally are to be congratulated on the
advance in civilization and education
during the last century, notwithstanding
it might have been better. Just at this
time the interest in education .seems.to
be intensified. Since the late war our
people have sought and calculated edu--
cation too much as pecuniary invest
ment; and very often We hear the parent
and pupil consulting as to whether ssit
,0iN pay" to spend more in education.
And in settling this question the pay is
considered the amount Of money the pu-
pill will be able to make in consequence
of the Investment, as it is termed. In
such cases the mind is not trained and de-
veloped for the pleasure it will afford,
but in order to make money BY the
investment. Such people seem to con-
slider money the source Of all pleasure,
and regard every accomplishment valua.
BILE or not, according to its monetary
value, or money producing power.
What fearful misconception of the true
value Of the development of the mind
and body The monetary or money
producing power Of knowledge Of all
kinds is the least valuable of all its re-
suits. Nowadays people seem to believe
money is power, and consequently to
disbelieye the assertion, of Lord Bacon
that
knowledge is power.''
Addison said knowledge is, indeed,
that which, next 70 virtue, truly and
essentially raises one man above an.
other" We are delighted that people
are coming to see the truth of this.
Right here in Anderson County we have
illustrations of the fact that money alone
cannot give pleasure. Every day,
almost, ne may see on our streets living,
moving examples OF men who have not
even enough education to enjoy their
money. We have young men who have
money, but not sufficient development of
the mind to be able rightly to enjoy their
money. They constantly meet; other
young men of very little monetary means
who, in all the walks of life, are their
superiors, and they so feel it. Above all
things do not make the mistake of failing
to educate your boys and girls, because
you cannot foresee full return in actual
cash of the principal With compound in
terest.

the fact remains that it would be

no Malta and no Italy. Italy is a

IT is claimed in some quarters
that Gov. Francis tries to control
the Asylum Board at Fulton The
Nevada Democrat is kicking be-
cause he don't try to control the
board and says:
Gov. Francis has appointed Hon.
T.. l.. Marchand a member of the
Board of managers OF Fulton
Asylum. Mr.. Marehand is as good
q man as there is in the State, but
he was a warm supporter of More
house for Governor and succeeded
in carrying his county against
Francis. The Governor seems de-
termined to have the asylums of
the State managed by men who
were smart enough not to support
him for Governor, and if he is sat-
isfied with rewarding such good
taste, why need others kick?"
Gov. Francis is. we presume,
trying to do his duty and has ap.
pointed on the various boards rep
resentative men of the State with
out any reference as to who they
supported for Governor.

is a chance to campaign your
horses the entire season on fast
tracks in close proximity. with
good accommodations and the as
surance of liberal treatment. The
circuit has needed the call for low
er entrance fees and all it costs to
enter in the stakes is Eve per cent;
in the purses the entrance fee is the
same with an additional Eve per
cent to winners. There ia room
for all at these meetings, the trot-
ters, PAGERS and runners each hav-
ing chance at the money. Han
nibal, Louisiana, Mexico, Moberly,
sedalia, Higginsville, and Bruns-
wick are the towns comprising this
circuit. B. R. White, Of Moberly,

is secretary of the circuit, will be
glad to give full particulars. The
advantage of entering horses
throughout an entire cilcult at al

make the most of it they certainly
are not alive to their own interests.
