OBITUARY.

Death has visited the home of Brother c. F. Hemenway, and claimed as it's victim Sister Annie Hemenway, his wife. She was an in- valid three years, being afflicted with con- sumptiou; but she bore her a.llction with christian fortitude. The wife and mother Is called to brighter home above, leaving be- hind her to mourn their loss hcartbroken husband, three sweet little children and one sister. host of friends join the bereaved with tears of sympathy and love; but we do not weep as those who have no hope, for she leaves behind her the example of beautiful christian life, one of devotion, patience and faithfulness. She knew for several days that her work was done, and a few minutes before she took her departure she reached out each of her hands to her husband and sister and hade them farewell then folded them upon her breast and fell asleep in the arms of Jesus
 Yes! asleep in Jesus blessed sleep.
 From which none ever wake to weep
 A calm and undistured rcpose
 Unbrokeu by the last of foes.
 Asleep in Jcsusl 0! how sweet
 To be for such slumber meet;
 With that holy confidence to sing
 That death has lost it's venomed sting

RAILROAD TIMETABLE.
THERE has been much discussion

THERE has been much discussion and considerable ''cussin" over the condition of the country roads during the past winter. That they have been and still are, in horrible condition cannot be denied. How to remedy this is the question, and in ignorance of the laws the public blame Tom Dick and Harry" The number of people ill the county who are aware of the non-existence of a road tax are not iH the majority. But such is the fact There is no special tax for the i'm provement of the highways, except statute requiring five days ser vice each year from every able bodied man in the county under forty five years of age. It was formerly ten days, but our legislators, in their wis dom, saw fit to reduce it to five days, and under the present skimming process called working the read'--i should be done away with altogether. The modus oparandi of road working is told in d few words. An overSeer is appointed whose only remuneration is exemption from jury service. He is- sues his edict to those who owe the five days to meet him at certai D point. One brings mule; another a plow; one a shovel; another hoe. After discussion of the why's and wherefores the skimming is done and the dignity of the law sustained, but the road is in a worse condition than ever. With no tools belonging to the county suitable to such work, aud no remuneration to the overseer, and no one with sufficient engineering qualifications to direct, what can we expect? The only place in the statutes where the county courts are empowered to disburse money is Section 496 of Roads and Bridges, andcsection 5,949 under title of road tax seems to be the only resource of the people It Yeads:-
 '.Section 5,949. If in the opinion of the county courts the public highways il their respective counties cannot be placed and kept in good condition under the preceding sections of this Act and that it will be necessary to levy road tax for any year, in order bo place or keep said highways in such condition az the interests of the trayellng public necessarily require. it shall be the duty of said courts at the time of levying the county tax in each year to levy road tax on all property made taxable by the laws of the state not exceeding one mill on the dollar in any one year"
 This being the only power the county court has to better the condition of the roads the lesson of the past winter should at least prove an incentive tc exercise their power and give the county better roads, or at least better service with the road skimmers, b, purchasing tools, etc. We hope ths county judge, in his written report te the court as to the condition of public roads, will do justice to the subject.

The old way of learning was to load the memory with all it could possibly carry. The popular idea was that memorzng a fact was learning that fact, and therefore to educate child all that was necessary was to make that child memorize every subject it was required to study This Idea is now condemned. because it is found that the effect of such drudgery is to com pletely destroy the power and sharpness of the growing mind. The Sunday School Times, in discussing this subject. says "luteiligent memori2ing has its important place in the training of a child but unin- teli.ent mcmorizing has no place there. Bible texts that are understood by a child can be proGtably memorized by child {; but no bible text ought to be memorized by child uatil the child has fair under standing Of the meaning of that text And as 1t is with bible texts so it is with all statements Of abstract truth The proper mental order is. first. understanding. then memory On this point there Is now prac- teal agreement among true educators of every name all the world over, From the days uf Roger Ascham down to the present day there has been steady growth of con Nlctlon in this direction"

In certain town the excuse given by the teachers for not improving themselves, was "lt will never pay In this town. V Probably not so long as those teachers are in the schools of that town. The laborer is worthy of his hire" says Holy Writ. The only way to be appreciated is to be worthy of appreciation. Those who dc not Nalueitheir own work, as general rule, will not get much esteem from others. The inference is plain and simple. Prepara- ton for any work is the first step to suc- cess.

Emerson says: "If God gave mo my choice of the whole planet or my farm, l should certainly take my farm" Now there are thousands of persons who want he whole world, if such was possible. They are never satisfied. In short, they are yeritable old grumbers and growlers. They pine for greater power and vaster influences, and ofttimes because they can not own the world, they simply fold their arms akimbo and do nothing, and then grewl because they get on so poorly.
 Many teachers are found in this class who kill time and fill space. There are thousands of teachers who want the world if they could get it. That is to say, they want to be professors in colleges, princi- pals of schools, instead Of teachers in tha school where they are to-day. It is not wrong to want to go into broader field of work; not at all. In fact, it is commenda- ble. But the thing is to be able to do a greater and larger work Make sure of that first. The country suffers from hav- ing small men in places too big for them in congress. church and school. Let the teacher prepare himself for higher posi- tions, and the place will surely find him by and by

The defeat of the County Superintendent bill in the Senate was a great calamity to the public school system of Arkansas We are still to go on in the same old rut The old methods will go ou and waste and dis organized edort will continue. This will always be true under such inefficient man : agement as now exists. To husband our means IS as important as to have means, but the present loose methods of managing our school interests is a slur on our fair state and our superior intelligence A sutiiciency of school funds is absolutely necessary. and then there should be d sys- temattc. judicious superntendency of the funds thus created. The one without the other is unwise and not in keeping with the first principles of simple economy The legislative treatment Of this great question is not in keeping with the pur- poses for which legislators meet. Sopho- moric treatment of any great question be- longs only to boys, and this was the treat mcnt this bill received by our wise tg) senators.
