Forget 1t.

The town has been visited for several days
with Johnstown flood exhibition, sort of
kaleidoscope affair. While the scheme for
thus making money is commendable one,
it is one which, we apprehend, will not fill
the Golfers of those interested with rubies.
People have become severely tired of the
Johnstown horror and want to forget it.
Any illusion to 1t is like stirring up old
"pussonalities" to Southern feud.

Ill Luck.

From present Indications we will. after all,
lose the efficient service OF Miss Helen
Barnes as principal of tine High school. We
learn that she has been offered position in
Missouri the salary .of which is greatly in
excess of that paid her here. OF course Miss
Barnes can in no way be criticized for &C.
cepting the latter offer in preference to that
made by the Napoleon Board of Education.
It is but another index of Miss Barnes
worth, as her services are in great demand.
A good teacher is not compelled to remain
in one rut; her progress to the top is speedy
and certain.

has always been known to hover around
Reeds Grove near Turkeyfoot creek. They

Jacob Bensing of Malinta was in the city
Monday on business relative to the Democ-

democrat of old Monroe and is prime
mover in the Monroe Cleveland and Steven

ways has voluntarily held up her end of the
democratic string. Other townships should
make haste and follow in the wake of Mon.

Burglar Alarm.

A good burglar alarm can be procured by
spreading newspapers around the halls or
stairways. They cannot be lifted or walked
upon without making noise enough to arouse
the household. An elderly lady has used
this device for years, whenever she was left
alone in the house over night, and she learned
it from others who had adopted the scheme
from family tradition.

that so doing is merely waste of material,
