A Solid KnOck. down Blow.
The whale blows water while at play;
Trees blow in every cline:
The sweetest flowers blow in May,
But wind blows all the time.
There's lots of blowing in this world
Sufferers from catarrh blow their noses, and
quacks blow about their "cures.' DR.. Sagc's
Catarrll Remedy is the only intallable one
Its proprietors back up this claim by offering
$500 for every case they fail to cure perma
nently. This is an unanswcrable blow at
humbuggery, coming from men of sterling
reputation and ample capital. Nasal Catarrh
cannot resist the potency of this Remedy
1t stops discharges. leaving the senses acute
the head clear. and the breath normal. OF
all druggists. so cents.
THANKLEss TAsKs.-Every ono probably
finds IN the course of years experience
that he has wrought earnestly and unselfish-
ly III the interest OF another, only to be re.
paid by the coolest neglect OF opportunity to
reciprocate. 1t would seem that cold heart
cd selfishncss and harsh demanding, OF
favors due to be returned, secure one more
firmly in the favorable estimation of the
average mau, than liberal and generous
course. Contract is probably after all the
safest method and surely he that goes after
that which he has righttllly earned gets it,
while lie who relies upon mans sense of du-
ty, gets left. THIS homily is not wholly
without point and is not the result of coglta-
ting in the abstract !; we may have had it in
us to treat the subject as well without a case
in point, but we doubt it. Not that we have
by any means exhausted the subject, or ren-
dered it ever Il show Of justice, but if we
have been able to occasion the thoughtless
to think, this type is worth its weight in
iridium
New SCHOOL BUILDING.-The Boards OF
County and School Commissioners may as
well take into their calculations, at once,
the erecting of High School building in
this place next summer. The room now &C.
cupied serves the purpose for schoo! not
eX" eedlng thirty; for that number there is
scarcely sufficient space.
Principal Martin informs us that he knows
at present of applications to he made for
this year that will put the number at nearly
forty of course they cannot be accommoda.
ted. Another year will doubtless find lis
with at the very least, fifty applicants and
unless they are accommodated, our High
School will be a source of complaint and
real trouble to Principal and Trustees.
Of course the County may not be expected
to erect building, only in case 1t is proven
beyond question that there is positive need
for 1t and that there may be lett no room for
doubt, Principal Martin ard our trustees
should carefully inform themselves concern
ing the number certain to apply at the open
ing of the next sch Elastic year and with such
information, at the opening of next summer,
60 before tue Board and ask for the building
AS we have said, the County officials may
as well take 1t into their calculations at once
for we are certain that there will not be less
than fifty applicants next year; if it were not
generally known that we do not have the
room, We believe there would be easily forty
at the opening Of the next term.
WHAT THE EDITOR GETs.-When child
is born INTO the world the physician IS pre-
sent and gets about $40 for officiating Mt
the important event. The editor heralds the
advent of the stranger and gets cursing for
making a mistake as To the sex and date OF
arrival.
After awhile the child lecomes man. the
minister is called to perform the marriage
ceremony and walks off with $40 bill in his
pocket for his trouble. The editor is again,
called upon to chronicle the event by draw
ing on his Imagination to make the bride and
groom the best and most respectable poop lie
in the county. His only pay is to he asked
for few extra copies of his paper to send to
some absent friends.
In time the ouee baby, once happy groom
but now man well advanced IN years, is
brought down by death. Again the physl-
clan is called in and makes his bill, the un.
dertaker is present and officiates at the funer
al, and in time wants 500 for performing
the last sad rites, while the editor ls expect
ed to complete the drama by holding up the
deceased as model gentleman, and one who
at present is flying up the golden stairs. The
probabilities are at the same time that the
baby, the groom, and the dead man hayt
been SO Internally stingy that he had stinted
his wife and chilfIvan q nd had unynr can't ih
