At Midway Miss May Neal was found
surrounded by an interesting group Of
boys and girls. She has fine discipline,
and her method of teaching spelling is
very fine. We expected good work from
Miss May, and we were not disappointed.
She is full of energy, aud enters into her
work with enthusiasm.
Miss Lille Bigby, the teacher at Wei
come, has school that is doing most ex.
cellent work. There is a mutual love
and sympathy between teacher and pu-
pills that greatly aids their work. The
children love Miss Lille, and it is very
evident that she loves her pupils. This
is a condition of affiirs that we are always
glad to ind in the school room. She is
careful and watchful, and is doing N ost
excellent work.
At Centre Miss Addie Duckworth is
the teacher She taught there last year,
and gave such satisfaction as to induce
them to secure her services this year.
She is exceedingly conscientious and
faithful in her work. She was trained
in the Williamson Female College by
DR.. Lander, which means that her train.

The Belton High School, under the
control of Rev. ]. T. Smith, is doing good

able to give a reason for what they do
We make no hesitation about saying thai
Belton has school worthy of that I've

ably assists Mr.. Smith. She shows the
qualities OF q teacher, calculated to be
numbered among our best. The pupils
are bright, cheerful and happy-three
qualities that greatly facilitate work in

BAD BOYS.

I should think 1t is very discouraging
to parents to have bad boys. 1t is also
very troublesome for teachers to have pu'
pills that will not obey the rules Of school.
Boys that behave badly when they are
coming into manhood are generally rude
when they become young men. 1t
would be best for their parents to teach
them to obey when they are quite small.
I should think they would like their
parents much better if they would teach
them to obey while they are small. l
feel sorry for boys that have not any sis
ter to tell them how tu behave when they
20 out into society. But some boys do
not care fer their sisters or for society
either. They had rather lounge around
town on Sunday and play games, such as
cards, with some mean, reckless boys,
than to 90 to Church and listen TO the
good sermons that the preachers gener-
ally have. Now, advise all boys that
do such as this to stop it and go to
preaching and Sunday school, and see If
they can't do better work there.

refused an offer of q million dollars for
his interest in one of the prominent
mines few days ago, and others have
climbed high so suddenly that they are
as yet dizzy from the sudden altitude to
which they have risen.
The cry in Creede as we'll as all over
this country is Free Silver and the day
is near at hand when the voice of the
miner of Colorado must be heard and
minded as we'll as that of the manufac-
turer of the East Every town in this
country has "Silver Club" and these in
stitutions are not being formed for pless'
ure or pastime. To-day Colorado has but
a small population as compared with
many olhe. States, bnt it has resources for
millions, and they are jourueying this
way every day that passes. The feeling
that has so fastened itself in the hearts
of the people of this country will soon
make itself felt far beyond the borders of
this State and those adjoining and with
similar interests. The breath of the pass
ing breeze which gently gathers force as
it moves through the Union can scarcely
be heard as it moves through the pines OF
North Carolina, but it is louder when it
strikes the border of Tennessee, and when
in its fury it reaches its fell strength far
away to the Westward, nothing can stay
it in its course, and every obstacle must
bow before the storm. Where men are
free to vote in the laws that are to their
interest, it does not take century to
learn them that the moon is not compos.
ed of green cheese nor that water will
not run up hill unassisted, and it will not
take long for the people of the United
States to learn that their interests are al.
ways associated with the people of any
class whatsoever who are combined
against the tyranny of Wall Street. No
man, be he Democratic or Republican,
in the coming contest can secure the sup
port of the people Of this section of the
country if he is an enemy to the honest
treatment of the white metal product Of
the Rocky Mountains.

Old Nursery Farorites.

There was Tom, the Son of the Piper,
Jack Sprat, and Merry King Cole,
And tho Three Wise Men Of Gotham,
Who went to sea in a bowl,
The woman who rode on broomstick,
And swept the Cobwebbed sky,
And the boy who sat in corner,
Eating his Christmas pie,
There we're some of the old favorites,
but they have been superseded by the
"Pansy" and "Chatterbox" stories, "Lit.
tie Lord Fauntleroy," and "Five Little
Peppers" The old fashioned pills have
been superseded, and wisely, too, by
Pierce's Purgative Pellets, mild, harm
less and effective cathartic. They are
pleacant to take-so gentle in their action
that the most delicate child can take
them, yet 80 effective that they will cure
the most obstinate case of constipation,
stomach, liver and bowel troubles. They
should be in every nursery. As a gentle
laxative, only one for dose.

The test OF good farmer is TO make

of q teacher is to make good progress
with dull pupil. Any teacher csn do

carry forward dull pupil, slow and not
inclined to work. Here lies the test of a

King Williams war, 16S9-s7. Cause !:
War having broken out between Eng
land and France, the colonies in America
took up the quarrel. Second, Queene
Anne's War, 1923. Cause: Eug-
land having declared war against France
and Spain, hostilities again broke out be"
tween thuir colonies. Third, King
Georges war, 1744-48. Gauss: War
again broke out between England and
France. Che quarrel soon broke out in

TEE DEPENDENCE OF MAN.

We have all often heard the express
sion, spoken by q person who has not
given the subject much thought, u am
an independent man."
Some persons are in manner indie
pendent of another, but we all, taken as
8 whole, are mutually as we'll az 10 other
ways dependent. Man is dependent
upon plants in several ways. Plants
furnish to man the oxygen which he
cannot live without. They are sustained
by carbonic acid gas, which is cast off by
man, and they give out oxygen, which
man brestbes
Man is also dependent upon plants for
the food that be eats. The diet of man
is composcd principally of vegetable
matter, such as wheat. corn, cabbage po'
tatoes and garden products. Man also
eats anitna. flesh, but were it not for veg.
etable matter would We have any ami
mails? No, for animals, like men, de-
peod upon plant life.
Man, especially the farmer, is depen-
dent upon our domestic animals: the
horse to work his farms, the COW to give
him milk and butter.
There is also mutual dependence OF
men upon each other. The farmer is
dependent upon the merchant, and like
wise the merchant is dependent upon the
farmer. If there is small crop made not
only the farmer. but also the merchant,
suffers. Likewise if there is rise in the
price of merchandise, not only the mer'
chant, but also the farmer, suffers.
In like manner the merchant and the
manufacturer are dependent upon each
other. If there we're no merchants to
sell goods tc, there would be no manu-
facturers, and if there we're no manpfac-
turers to make goods, there would be no
merchants.
Man, animals and plants are all alike
dependent upon God, the creator OF all,
and it is by bis power that we are all
allowed to live, and it will be BY his
power when waall cease to live.

The Dead Sea now covers the spot
where men in ancient days became too
wicked to live. The topography of the
country here would have to be consider
ably changed before there could be a
large body Of water, but certain it is that
Sodom and Gomorrow could not have
been worse than Creede is to-day, and the
fact that it is still untouched by the hand
of the Great Judge is evidence that men
have more lenient judgment meted out to
them now than in the days of Lot and
his unfortunate spouse.
Yet one of the infalible evidences of
prosperity in the mining camps of the
West is the multiplicity of vices and the
disregard of all that is good aud moral.
It takes time for morality to get to the
new and hastily settled camp, and the
mineral is all gone and the people dis
persed generally before anything moral
gets there in any force.
What future development may result
in cannot be told at this stage of the
towns history. 1t is almost universally
predicted that the town will become the
third or perhaps second producing camp
in the State when the SHOW has melted
and the work of development here thor.
oughly prosecuted. Some are sauguine
enough to predict that the mines at
Creede will produce more silver than
those of Leadville, but this is not likely
however that may be, the town has so far
hsd remarkable history, and its few de
veloped mines have made many men rich
who have heretofore known but the hard
side of life. One man who ak month.
