School Notes.
hool begins next Monday.

School begins next Monday
Every pupil should begin the first day
There are five hundred eighty-five
whites of school age in this district.
Don't buy school books until you are
sure that you know just what are need
ed.
Help the teachers by taking an inter-
est in the pupils and giving much ems
couragement at home.
Don't expect perfection in teacher
and don't criticise his faults in the hear
ing of his pupils.
The hearty cooperation of EVERY CIT
ZEN and PARENT is earnestly solicited in
the effort of the teachers to make our
school the very best possible under ex-
isting circumstances.
An examination will be held at the
school building on Friday, Sept. 8, at 8
a. m, to give any who wish an opportu-
nifty to pass in subjects they wish to fin
ish, or to try for higher grade. This
will enable them to begin new studies
when the classes are organized,
1t is very important that pupils enter
school at the beginning of the session.
A few days delay often puts students
behind their classes in the most impor-
tant part Of any study and discourages
them during the entire session. Send
ing to school should be u matter OF bus.
mess and requires sacrifices to secure
the best results.

county year or SO ago and is said e
have raised school order from $50 &c
$50. Among the other sins laid at his
door Is that OF having frieIRs endorse
notes for him, afterwards skipping out
leaving the victims TO pay the amounts
when the paper matured. Two or more
victims Of this kind live in this county
one of whom is County Clerk Howard
who was instrumental in having him
arrested. When found in Texas John
stone was in the midst Of Christian re-
vivl near Marshall, assisting in the
singing and baptizing, pretending to be
very devout. His arrest under the cir
cumstanees created sensation and gave
the meeting back set.

went their way. The democratic clubs
of Bayliss and Clark townships, two
hundred strong, came in early in the
morning on horseback, with banners
flying, headed by the German band Of
Bayliss, which diseoursed excellent mu-
sic at intervals throughout the day.
Members of other township clubs were
also present and most thoroughly enjoy
ed the days proceedings. 1t is quite UNI
necessary to give lengthy account of
the speaking, since the election is over,
suffice it to say the democratic orators
overmatehed their opponents and hay
ing the facts and argument on their side
came off more than conquerors. A fitting
close to the eventful day was the sere-
made at the depot at six o'clock rendered
by the German band to Hon. w. l.. Ter
ry, who gracefully acknowledged the
honor and spoke briefly but happily of
the bravely fought aud manfully won
campaign which that day ended. The
German band is an organization of ac-
complished musicians which do credit to
the German population of our county.
1t is composed of the following members:
II. Steuber, leader, III. Sudmeir, ii. King
seik, VIM. Tucker, Hy Tucker, Fred
Tucker, Chas. Tucker, Fred Neimier,
Fred Brinkman, II. Wissman, E. Steuber.
All of them are quiet and dignified gem
tlemen and loyal democrats. At the
close of the speaking three cheers were
given for the band and three for the Bay
Hiss and Clark township clubs in which
everybody joined with a zest that came
near raising the roof off the courthouse.

The subject Of this sketch was born on the
Both day Of April, 1867, and was consequently in
his 26th year.
Death is sad thing under any and all cir
cumstances, but the gloom Of the grave seems
denser when the young are cut down in the
dawn of Young manhood. Will had worked
hard to prepare himself for his profession, and
just as he had mastered the arts Of his calling,

than two years, and there was one thing re-
markabe-he always knew his lessons and
treated his teacher with the greatest considera-
ton. And when he attended his brother john
mics funeral he told me that the passages OF
scripture he had committed to memory while
he was member Of the Sabbath school were
fresh in his mind, and at my request repeated
the 18th psalm. Win was seriously affected by
the death Of his brother, and from that date his
conviction became stronger until he was enabled

present when he joined the church win rcmem-

that was within him. and though he was totter-

the 10th day OF February, 1890, in the city OF ut.
Smith, and to them was born a little baby boy,

ed that the death of Win would kill his dear
wife. May God bless her and her sweet little
babe, and may she teach him to love the Savior
and meet his father in the better land.

To the Editor of The Gazette:

To the Editor of The Gazette:
Hon. j. M. Harkey, Senator from
Pope county, and candidate for pres
ident of the next Senate is in the
city. Senator Harkey's age and ex-
perience will qualify him for the po-
sition to which he aspires, and his
long and tireless service in the ranks
of the party merits him the distinc-
ton of the presiding officer over the
body of which he is one of the old
est members.
Being one of the old school of
thorough gentlemen, with heart as
big as all outside, together with his
vast experience and parliamentary
training of thirty years from the
lowest to the highest order OF ma
sonry, he is well qualified for the
position and will fill it with grace
and dignity, should his fellow Sena-
tors honor him with the position.

The writer Is again passing through
yonr beautiful city after an absence Of
ten or twelve years, and notes with great
qualification the wonderful improve
ment Of Russellville. One great brick
building after another marks the spot

What You have done in your city 9TH
ers have done in most of the cities and
towns Of our country east, west, north
and south, as the writer has seen in
travels from Maryland to Mexico and
from the shores of the Gulf to the Black
Hills and the ranges Of the Rockies IN
the last year.
The opening Of Oklahoma will have a
good effect npon our State, and il will
be followed by the opening of the Cher
okee Strip, some 100000 acres lying
between Oklahoma and Kansas, at the
next meeting of Congress, beyond any
reasonable doubt.
Your Little Rock and Fort Smith
travel in the south, will feel the effect of
the settlement of these lands which are
now fully occupied rs far as opened, and
our people will have barrier OF barba-
rism removed from our western frontier.
Your Fort Smith line is now the great
short line by way of Wagner to all
points in Kansas and the northwest, and
to Kansas City, as well as to Memphis
and the East via Bald Knob, and is in
excellent order and appears to be doing
prosperous business.
The writer was in Texas two weeks
ago, and at that time decree was enter
ed up in the United States court at Dali

Railroad Commission from putting into
effect the schedule of freight rates they
had prepared, or any other schedule, on
the ground that the law is unconstitu-

we're penalties to the roads, and the rea-
