Mrs. Fannie Horn and daughters
from the West, were the guests of Mr.
| Luther Tabler last week.
September 9, Saturday Afternoon
and night, will be held picnic al
Mount Pleasant, better known a.
Eagle Schoollouse. Refreshments
will be sold. The public general,
are most cordially invited.
Miss Kate Las, beautiful blonde
from Hagerstown, and her friend. Miss
Josie Tabler, were calling in Martins,

Last Monday night, when the storm
ragged at its height, near Opequon

brose took its flight Heavenward.
The greatest of all Christian graces,
like rare gem, shone out of his kind.
ly eyes, and thrilled you in the firm
warm hand clasp and glorified his
whole life. Beautiful charity. His lin.
tied means were willingly shared with
many who otherwise would have suf-
fered and would have been homeless.
He thought not of himself, though
his health was bad, and he toiled on,
when the frail thread that held life i'll
the balance seemed likely to part at
any moment. He was indeed a father
to the orphans left to his care He
gave his all, when called upon in
Charity's name, and we believe he has
gone home to reap rich reward for
his labor and self-sacriiice here. He
belonged to the Dunkard church, and
his brethren chung to him and reliev-
ed, as far as human aid could, his suf-
ering and wants, and buried him in
their churchyard at Vanclevesville,
Wednesday. An unusually large
number were i'll attendance, as Mr..
Ambrose was loved and esteemed bv
every one who knew him.
Scarcely a week had passed ere news
of DIR. Ed. Williams death reached us.
For several years he had been in
feeble condition, but the favorite drive
to his little farm in the country caused
him to pass through Moler Avenue
almost every day and the little friend
ly chats with the neighbors endeared
him the more to them He was an
educated and professional man, good
doctor, kind husband and father,
who raised family of children to be
useful members of society," business
men, and successful in their chosen
fields of labor. He was our Doctor
and friend. No more the kind hand
will reach out a welcome; no more
will the dear face light up for us no
more can that voice that was ever
ready to defend our cause and to offer
influence and words of cheer in times
of trouble, be heard among the haunts
Of men. But may our loss be his
gain and may we find both friends,
when we, too, shall ." Pass over the
river and rest under the shade of the
trees"
Mrs. Stephen A. Moore, of Balti-
more, who has been visiting her son,
VIM. Moore, of this city, was called
home by the sudden illness of her
daughter Jennie.
]. w. Downs, principal of the 5th
Ward school, opened school Monday
with full room, but has grave fears
that he will not be able to teach the
remainder of the week. He has been
under medical treatment some weeks
and tried his new strength to soon.
May he soon recover.
d. NJ. Brown passed here to his
school (Ridenour's) appearing a little
tilnid. We think he was looking for
breakers, but we are sure he found

Though we might complain of lack
of professional courtesy on the part of
D. NJ, we are generous enough to
show him wherein Lot failed to come
down to the standard of a model
teacher that was fixed by his two
trustees. To know where danger
exists is to be sure of avoiding, if
cautious. Rags must not be tied
around child's mouth as a punish
ment for whispering Use the rod,
for common sense always suggest
punishment that has some relation to
the offense, and the rod has a relation
to every offense. Don't talk much,
don't have any temper, whip every
body's children but the two
trustees. You must not ornahlent
your schoolroom with pictures, mot
toes, cards, or anything of the kind,
for that would attract the child's at
tention and it would not learn its les
sons. Calasthenics are a nuisance.
Speeches, Rotations, and exhibitions
are a waste of time nothing anyhow
but tolnfoolery. Don't grumble if
children stay ont every wet day.
Don't scold if children are tardv and
come i'll all the time from till II, in
terrupting the exercises. Don't be
familiar with your scholars, familiari-
ty begets contempt. Don't teach
after four For all these "don 'ts''
Lot scorned, and behold the conse-

The picnic at Eagle shool house has
been postponed indefinitely.

To dwell with Him who gave;

To join His shining band;

Lot expects to teach in Arden the
coming term. At Fairview, No. 7, the
largest school i'll the district. The
Trustees were we'll pleased with the
work of Mr.. Grim and called him
back, waiting for him until almost too
late to secure another teacher. We
make mention of this, because we
wish it was more frequent occur
ance. Where teacher has given
general satisfaction we think it the
duty of trustees to offer the school
another term. Mr. Grim would not
accept and Lot was hired. LOT.

Why. Because it gives better returns
