WE can never hope for the bles-
sings of uniformly good roads
throughout the country until the
care of them is delegated to skilled
and competent hands, instead of be-
ing left, as now, TO the mercy OF
ShIftlessBesS and indifference. 1t Is
an encouraging sign that there seems
to be general awakening of public
sentiment to the Importance Of re-
form in this matter.

The sllvery flakes of the beautiful
white frost appeared last Tuesday
and Wednesday nights.

Should yon be desirous of learn

which is said will soon materiallze,
call ON Jesse I. Swain, jr., for such
information.
"Where on earth did so many peo
pie come from?" was the absorbing
question of the multitude in attend
anee at the View last Wednesday
night. Many could not get within a
hundred feet of the building.
Many thanks. The teacher de-
sires us to tender his greatful thanks
to all of his pupils, patrons and
friends, for their kind favors and
hearty support in making his enter
tainment a grand success in every
particular. Also to Misses Ella and
Bette McCampbell for the use OF
their fine organ, and other personal
assistance to Miss Bootsey Grin
stead, of Keytesvllle, for her most
excellent vocal and instrumental mu
sic and other valuable aid. May
their lives always bask IN the bril-

; Master Bill Willett of the COURIER
force distributed supply of pleasing
smiles among the Prairie View girls,

last Wednesday night.
A pointer for Charley West, of

fish from his own pond, as our fair
bellies at the View are all spoken for.
A word to the wise is sufficient.
Joe Martin planted forty acres of
corn in fine shape this week and will
soon be through with this part of his
work.
1t is our pleasure to chronical one
of the most enjoyable events of the
season. 1t is brief synopsis of the
closing exercises of the Prairie
View school, which occurred on tue
9th inst. The labors and pleasant
ries of the day were as follows:
General class recItations declaim-
ing literary productions little
speaches, and vocal musec.
At noon the little la1ies aud miss

ing a richly prepared feast of good
things on the grassy lawn near the

occasion.

Gov. STONE, of Mississippi, is out
in strong letter in answer to the
Weber county alliance, requesting
his views upon the subject, in op-
position to the sub-treasury plan.
The governor truth;ully says: "The
proper function OF government, as
| understand it, Is to protect all In
the full enjoyment of their rights,
by administering equal and exact
justice to all and imposing as few
burdens as possible, equally distri-
buted, and then leaving every indi-
vidual to his own efforts for success
and happiness. Government has no
wealth to bestow and when it UNDER
takes to dispense favors it always
has favorites and gives to them at
the expense of those not favored"
One has but to puncture the sub
treasury bubble to disclose its hol-
lowness.

LOCAL option has recently been
declared imperative in Audraln
county because the county clerk had
failed to certify to the vote cast.
The court of appeals at Kansas City
has decided in similar case, where
this failure occurred, that the county
court may yet certify and the law
take effect. A writ of mandamus to
compel the clerk to perform his duty
has been applied for.

OUR vALEDICToRY.
1t becomes our painful duty, in
consequence of circumstances over
which we have no control, to bid q
final adieu to the dear old COURIER
and its staff, as q correspondent from
Prairie View, which position we have
held with much pleasure to ourself
but possibly much annoyance to the
readers.
Like all others who endeavor to
live in the discharge of duty VIC have
been oftentimes buffeted and fire.
quently criticised in our capacity as
q public servant. But there is a tIde
and cham of events that shape the
destiny of all men. Therefore we
must conform our lives to the powers
that be, however incongruouS they
may be in their relation to our pur-
poses and desires.
With feeling of greatful remem-
brance to the COURIER editors and
Its mighty host OF readers, as well as
tG those OF our associated cOntempo-
rarles, we bow in humble submission
to the existing circumstances. Did
We not know that the services of
another could be secured 10 assume
the task in this vicinity, who is Cur
superior, our resignation would IN
deed be more painful.
Notwithstanding our main object
has been to write for the public good,
and admitting that We have SO imper-
fectly discharged our duty, yet it is
with feeling Of regret that moves
every tender impulse. of our nature
that We contemplate a severance Of
friendly ties that have so long linked
cur affection with those whom we
have for time been so intimately
associated.
Yes, our room is for rent. We
pluck our hat from the rack, where
it so long hung suspended, in the
home of our tried and confding
friends, A. W. McCampbell and his
family, who by their many deeds of
unmerlted kindness TO the writer
will cause our future reflections 70
be green apd lasting in our memory.
