Close of Spring Valley School.

Mr.. f. c. Remsburg closed a very
successful term of school at Spring
Valley last Wednesday. Invitations
had been extended to the NilwOOd and
Maple Grove schools. The former ar
rived at about IL o'clock; the latter
about 2 O'Clock in The afternoon.
At u o'clock the ladies who had
gathered with heavily laden baskets.
boxes, tubs, etc, demanded a table.
Accordingly tables were produced
and that Mr.. Remsberg had the hearty
good will of his pupils and the apprO-
baton of his patrons was fifty demon
strated by the bountiful dinner that
was soon spread.
The dinner being ended, the teach
er showed his generosity by treating
the crowd to oranges. The tables
were soon removed and soon the bell
rang. announcing that it was time to
begin the exercises of the afternoon.
While an immense dinner is always
appreciated, it has no part in crafty
ing the mental appetites. In view of
this Mr.. Remsberg had prepared a
splendid program consisting Of music,
recitations, etc. 1t was well adapted
to the occasion, and admirably rem
dered. After listening to brief re-
marks by the teachers of the visiting
schools, Messrs J. A. Mcknight and
II. w. Nelson, and the patrons de-
sire TO procure the services of Mr..
Remsberg for next year, the pupils, as
a token of good will and due appre-
citation of his services, presented Mr..
Remsberg with number of beautiful
guilt blocks, the work of their own
hands. 1t is needless to say he was
bewildered for a moment, but soon he
recovered himself and kindly thanked
the pupils for their gratuity. The
school then sang the closing song.
"Good Bye" and Mr.. Remsberg bid
his pupils an affectionate farewell.
Thus closed a very successful term of
school. A VISITOR.

We find that because of the back
ward season our stock of cut flowers
for decoration at the Hall will be un-

owners of house plants in bloom to as
sist us by loaning to us their plants.
Please send word to me through some
of the school children as to the num-
bers and varieties of plants in bloom
that you are willing to loan. Our col

Tuesday and will return them on

THE CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.

When everybody knows beforehand
precisely what convention is going
to do, there is poor show to work up
much excitement over it. The con-
vention which met at Lawrence to
nominate a congressman April %,
was that kind of convention. The
people had given it their orders and
everybody knew it had nothing to do
but to carry them out. And so neither
the people at large nor the delegates
in the convention were the least wOr-
ried or worked up.
The convention met in the Opera
House at IL o'clock a. M. and was or
ganized by the election of Thos. w.
Heatley, of WyandOtte-One of the
best red-headed fellows in the Dis
trict-as temporary chairman, and w.
ID. MOckerman, of Franklin, temper
ary secretary. The usual committees
were appointed and the convention
adjourned for dinner. After dinner
the temporary organization was made
permanent. The committee on resO-
buttons reported a platform which re-
cited the fidelity with which the
pledges made by the Republican
party had been kept, approved the
legislation of the Fifty-first Congress,
particularly the Mckinley bill and
the Silver bill, endorsed the admins
tration of President Harrison and
pledged loyal and effective support to
the nominee of this convention. The
resolutions were adopted unanimously
and with applause. L. b. Pearsall,
of Bourbon, then placed Hon. +. H.
Funston in nomination, Joel Moody,
of Linn, nominated Col. r. w. Blue,
and Mr.. Grant, of Anderson, nOmina-
ted Col. w. A. Johnson. The roll be-
ing called Funston received SO votes,
Blue 10 and JOhnson9. The announce
ment of the vote was received with
loud and long continued applause.
This concluded the business of the
convention, but the delegates remain
ed to listed to Gen. J. G.. Caldwell, of
Topeka, who delivered an able, elO-
quent and enthusiastic address. At
the conclusion of this address, Col.
Blue was called out and made very
happy and good humored speech. OF
course he made some statements that
we hardly thought were justified by
the facts. For example he declared
that the pOstmasters were responsible
for the early convention, when as a
matter of fact at the meeting of the
committee which called the cOnven-
tion there were only two postmasters
and one of them was for Blue and
against Funston. But the speech was
bright and witty, and in the main
fair and good tempered. One thing
certain, it lett no room for doubt that
Dick Blue is a stright Republican,
whether he rides a horse or marches
in the ranks.
At the close of Blues speech the
convention adjourned.

than general interest to our community for the
reason that the person in question has held two
very successful protracted meetings here, the
last one being held about three years ago:
The Oldest woman in the country who is a
preacher. 1t is thought, is Rev. Lydia Sexton,
Of Seattle, now 81 years of age. She has been
in service about half century. For eight or
ten years she was an exhorter before receiving
a regular license to preach in ISL. Ohio, Ind
lana aud Illinois were her field prior to 1870,
when with her husband she removed to Kansas.
Seattle was adopted as her home three years
ago. She has since then conducted many re-
vival and other meetings but failing eye-sight
threatens to terminate her activity ere long
She hopes to live TO be a full hundred years old.

DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION.

A democratic state convention is hereby called
to be held in tho city of Great Falls, Mont. on
Monday, 81 pit. IL, 1892. at four o'clock y. M. for
the purpose of nominating candidates for sta Q
officers a candidate for the national house Of
representatives. and thTea presidential electors
and for tho transaction of such other business
rs may properly come before the convention,
In accordance with y resolution adopted by
tho state democratic committee. the delegates
and Alternates to the state convention held at
Rozeman. June 8. 1892, arc the delegates and
alternates to the convention to be held in Crest
Falls, sept. II. 1882.
The state central committee has adopted the
following Jules for tho government of the s.ate
convention:
/. Delegates and alternate delegates shall 10
democratic residents Of the county they repre-
sent.
2, In the absence Of a delegate his alternate
shall cast his vote.
8. In the absence OF . delegate and his alter
nate a majority Of tie delegation of that county
shall b. entitled to cast the vote OF the absentee.
4. In case any county shall be without repre-
sentation, either by delegates or their alternates,
such county shall not be entitled to vote.
by order Of the state democratic central COM
mittee. Il. L. COLLINS, Chairman.
u W COOLEY. Secretary.
The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1892-09-05
To-DAy's CONVENTION.

The democrats propose to carry Lewis
and Clarke county this fall; carry it for
Cleveland and Stevenson and for every
candidate on the state and county
tickets. They have given good evidence
of this determination in the councils
held during the past week and they
propose to fight the battle to q finish
and with all their strength.
It ia therefore a matter Of very great
importance to select the right men for
places on the county ticket. This work
will be done to-day at the auditorium,
and must be done we'll. 1t is the duty
Of not only every delegate, but every
democrat, to be present at this gather
ing. Let it be a county convention to
be remembered for its harmony, good
will and large attendance.
The way to win is to nominate the
best men, regardless Of personalities or
petty %jealousies, if such may exist.
Nominate men whose names near
strength in the community, names that
will draw the confidence and honest
support Of voters.
Party lines in municipal and county
elections are not drawn tight enough TO
make good citizens vote for a candidate
simply because his name appears On the
party ticket. The intelligent tax
payer in Lewis and Clarke county votes
as he transacts his business. He wants
none but the best men to guard the in
terests with which his home and family
and pocketbook are connected.
The republicans have made some very
weak nominations. The democrats will
not find it difficult to nominate better
men who can be elected.
This is the way to win, and for this
purpose calm judgment and good sense
alone should control the action Of to-
days convention.
