What We Think of 1t.
Editor orthe Rennbitcan.

TO the Editor ofthe Republican.
In last weeks REPUBLICAN we
see the startling announcement that
the proposed new school building
at Oakland is to be erected at cost
Of $12, 200. Now there are q good
many people through the county
who are like myself, ignorant as to
the source from whence this money
is to come to erect this building.
We do not know of any rich person
dying and leaving a legacy for this
purpose, neither do we know that
the people Of Oakland mainly fur
nish the money for the erection of
this building, If they do, all right
and good. We are always glad to
give our support to a good cause,
and We know that the citizens of
Oakland are badly in need of a new
school building. But if this money
is to be expended out of the public
school fund for the building of one
house. when there are so many
school houses throughout the county
that are unfit to teach in, then we
say it is an outrage and one that
the people everywhere should fight
against. Our own school house at
Glade Valley IS scarcely a decent
pig pen and certainly unfit for
school purposes, The roof leaks
badly; and there are great many
school houses throughout the
county IN like condition. Now
as we said before, if this money
comes from some other quarter be-
sides the county school fund, then
we have nothing to say. We be-
heye it would be a good plan for
some one who knows to explain this
matter through The REPUBL1cAE.
This would give us a little light on
the subject. D. G.

A Stone Ditch.

\ ever throw the stones in loose.
1t is a waste of time, as the ditch
soon becomes cloged and the water
comes to the surface. Lay a good
throat and do the work Yourself.
This Is the only way to secure per-
manent results. Why is it we are
so apt to distrust our own Judge
meut on some unusual work and
willing to pay big wages to some
tramp who comes along looking for
a job, claiming to be an expert, but
who may have meyer seen the work
done? He has the brass to try and
nothing to lose. We have intelli-
gence and self interest enough to
make our work superior, without
experience, to his. Thus reasoned
Rural New Yorker correspon-
dent as he stood by his first ditch
II years ago. He writes:
1t works well yet and will for 80
years to come. Put the bottom
stones below the frost line so that
they will not heave. There are
three ways of placing them accord
ing to the width of the ditch and
their own size. The mode ! nrofo,,
is wide bitches is to have stones on

Kissing.

In the old time men and women who
We're mere acquaintance exchanged kisses
in public aud with "A certain amount of GER
emory, and "A visitor to whom it was de
sired to show special civility was always re-
ccived with kiss.
The mode of salutation has changed
greatly with the times. Haste and high
pressure have contributed to render the
form of greeting as brief as possible. Not
only have we given up the quaint, familiar
ways of our ancestors, but we have also
parted with much of that elaborate ETH
quette which in the last century played SO
large part in the social life.
The changed habits Of society, the greater
minging of the various grades, have brought
n simplicity into the form of intercourse
which strikes oddly upon the senses of peo-
pie accustomed to old fashioned ceremony.
Il always kiss the lady's hand when take
my leave of the hostess after a party" said
a German lady, a descendant of one Of the
Oldest families in what used to be called
Prussia. She was commenting rather Sc
verely on the habits and customs OF her
adopted country.
The offhanded manner Of girls toward
their mothers and Of all young people gen
orally toward all older people drew forth
her reprobation. Kissing is now confined
to state ceremonies and to a few old world
lovers and gallants who have retained the
ways of their great-grandfathers.-
