County Teachers, Association.

The quarterly meeting of the teachers
of Red Willow county was held in Nc
Cook, last Saturday, November 2sth, and
proved to be an interesting one, in spite
of the bleak east wind and the contrari-
ness of train service, which doubtless pre-
vented the attendance of many of the
teachers living at a distance. The SEES
sion opened in the morning with very
few in attendance. Music was furnished
by the west ward choir. A paper on
Primary Methods by Mrs. M. ]. Cordial
and the discussion of methods Primary
and Synthetic occupied the remainder of
the forenoon.
The few teachers from out of town were
taken to Commercial hotel for dinner.
At 2 O'Clock County Superintendent
Bayston called the meeting together. The
high school choir furnished music for the
afternoon session. Miss Stroud as secre-
tary read the minutes of last meeting,
which were approved. Miss Hartman
then read a paper on Personal Influence.
Prof. Smiths paper, "The Child's Ego,"
treated of the child's relation to others,
and was practical and interesting. This
was followed by a paper on Perseverance
by Mr.. Pinkerton. Prof. Valentine gave
the teachers one of his practical, sensible
talks, and Rev. Mcbride, by invitation,
responded in his usual hearty style, Civ
ing some of his early experiences as a
teacher, encouraging teachers in their
efforts, by magnifying to them the i'm
portance of the position they occupy as
trainers of the young. Superintendent
Bayston then pointed out to the teachers
of the country districts the Importance of
closer attention to the minor details of
school work, such as light, ventilation.
seating arrangement, etc. We are sorry
to record so small a number in attendance
from the country districts. 1t seems to
us that an interchange of ideas, and the
inevitable friction Of minds at such times,
must be productive of good to those who
partake.
A committee was appointed on pro-
gramme for the meeting to be held i'll
Indianola in February, after which the
meeting adjourned.
The teachers from abroad were taken
to the Commercial house for supper.
Prof. Valentine and his lantern force,
with the assistance Of the school orches-
ira, furnished an evening entertainment
two hours in length, which was enjoyed
by many of the town-people, as we'll as
by the teachers.

Thanksgiving Day Services.


Union services by the Episcopal, Meth
odist and Baptist people were conducted
in the Lutheran church, in the morning.
The attendance was not so large as it
ought to have been, perforce of the cold
weather and of the characteristic indiffer-
ence of the many. Nevertheless the ser
vices were highly enjoyable, inspiring
and %elevating to an uncommon degree.
The sermon was delivered by the Rev.
Frank Durant of the Episcopal church,
and 1.-THE Nation, The Church and The
Home were the basis of his eloquent,
earnest address, which was replete with
patriotic and lofty sentiment, breathing
the fire and conviction of a thoughtful
and earnest young man. 1t was thor
oughly excellent from many points of
view, and it delighted all.
Creditab1e music was furnished by the
Baptist choir, assisted by Miss Tu1leys.
The customary collection was taken up
for the poor, and Mesdames Noren, Cal
len, Whitaker and Miss Burgess were
chosen to make a proper distribution of
the funds to the needy of the city.

ton for treasurer" What I said was,
that Messrs. Hocknell, Campbell, Frank
lin and Kelley solicited me to accept the
nomination. Now, Pete, when I told you
this, did you not say to me, they were
only deceiving you, and did not intend
to do as they said. Had you or George
Hill been nominated, it was their pur-
pose to defeat you" You certainly did.
1 then told you that I believed these men
would have stayed by me had I been the
nominee. AS to my having doubted MIR.
Starts loyalty to the ticket, your state
ment is false. I said that l could not see
why a man was a traitor in not voting
for Bert, and another could sight Roper
and still be a good republican. You dis
torted my statement. had no reason to
doubt Mr.. Starts loyalty to The. ticket,
and never intimated such a thing.
Whether he voted the straight ticket, or
not, is for him to say; in either event l
do not think he is a renegade or traitor.
No. Pete, I am not suing for peace at the
altar of Granny" Barnes l simply sta
ted what I thought was common n as
we'll as good politics. You seem to think
differently. So wade in! You will not
need to get any water from the Holland
ditch to keep the graves of the east end
republicans green. They will be kept
sufficiently green for you, without any
unnecessary anxiety on your part, even
if you have campaigned it with such
grand republicans a. Senator John Sher-
man of Ohio, Il mean nc disrespect to
Senator Sherman, in mentioning his
name in connection with paramount
Pete.) My greatest crime, in the estim-
alton of Granny" Barnes, seems to be,
that 1 paid THE TRIBUNE a deserved
compliment. Granny" for your espec-
ial benefit, I will say that THE TRIBUNE
needs no defense at my hands; tits amp
ly able to take care of itself. Its tights
are manly and open, betraying its
friends, or casting dirty personal filings
at its enemies.
Very truly yours,

Postmaster Troth informs us that the
government has decided to return to the
old original sized postal card, just as soon
as the contract for the manufacture of
the new styles expires, and the present
supply is exhausted; believing that one
size will be sufficient, while it is more
economical to the department. Every
postmaster and postal clerk will rejoice
in this decision as it will greatly facili-
tate rapid handling of mail. The three
sizes make stacking and asserting mail
very awkward.

"For two hours we listened to his new
philosophy. Besides wisdom, oratory
and sentiment, he delighted us two hours
with innocent amusement. He caused us
to lose all thought of time and revel in
