Teachers Association.

The Teachers Association of Prowers
county met as per announcement in Ora
NADIA Saturday, March the 7th, and was
called to order by President Mayfeld.
The reading Of the minutes of the pre-
vious meeting was postponed on account
of the absence of the Secretary. Della
Dickinson was appointed Secretary. pro
tenn. The lesson in science for fourth
reader grade, with experiments, by Prof.
t. B. Bird, was grand success, and oc-
cupied fully one hours time. Prof. Bird
proved himself master of the sciences,
and the mode of instruction could be
excelled by none. The subjects Of School
Law, How to Teach Geography, and
Botany were ably discussed, but carried
over to the next meeting because the
principals were not present to lead in the
discussion. To say that the teachers
experience meeting was a success is put
ting it mildly. The beginning was al
ways through the greatest difficulty with
the loss of considerable time and sleep.
This part of the programme was consid-
cred SO profitable that it was also con-
tlnued. Tho last on the program was
music by the choir and everyone in the
house helped to sing the closing song.
On motion of Prof. Bird the meeting adj
journed to meet at Lamar Saturday,

right. We have three bitches on the
south side Of town and are in favor of the
city buying one while it can be got from
the one that will sell it to us the cheap

the Bed Rock Ditch would sell the city
a water right for S400 If one cannot be
got any cheaper from either of the other
two, we are in favor of taking it. If that
is Doodle, we are boodler. In regard
to the city election, we never had but
one candidate for Mayor, and the insin-
uation to the contrary by the gang is
simply a "wish that is father to the
thought" We are in favor of Mr.. Van
by any gang, and especially this sore
headed Democratic gang. For council
men we have no candidates. A ticket
made up from our business men, who
pay the taxes and will take caro- of
the city's interest, and protect us from
the gang Of past boodlers who are SO
anxious to get their hands again into the
city's treasury will be satisfactory to us.
Where is the straight Democratic ticket
we have heard so much about from this
protector of the peoples INTEREST,"" We
are exceedingly anxious to peruse it,
especially the head. If you have it made
up gentlemen, please do not keep us
waiting longer. Now word in regard
to Mr.. Bent, Count Bolinski." About
his right of way through town, we know
nothing, nor about the occupancy of any
highway, but this we do know, Mr.. Bent
alone and unaided, without means, orga-
nized and carried through great enter
prise which has added thousands OF dol
lars to the valuation of Lamar and Prov

stirred up the envy and malice OF the as
sistant editor of the Sparks, who having
resigned two lucrative openings in the
Northwest has returned to the protect

The farmers are marketing their large

merchants OF Holyoke were making
better prices on goods than he could
get at the town near which he lived,
and the difference in prices was suf-
llcient to justify him in coming TO
