our town and vicinity have employed
ourtownsman, Mr.. George Means, to
teach night school. l understand the
attendance is good and the program
is excellent. These young gentlemen
have had the advantage of public
school but they failed to appreciate
opportunities. Mr.. M. is well quail
fed to instruct and if they will apply
themselves assiduously they will be
amply rewarded for their time and

am sorry to hear the old song of
complaint against the teachers in our
public schools. | think if those
chronic complainers would reflect
and take the matter home they would
find that they and not the teachers
are held responsible for large per
cent. of the trouble of which they
complain. Many of them start their
children on the way to school; per-
haps they reach the school house,
perhaps they do not. They know

A couple of tramps broke into
Morgan's school house one night
last week and stole teacher Grahams
spectacles and tobacco. They also
burnt up all his kindlings and wood

room in very comfortable condi-
ton.
A protracted meeting commenced
in the Presbyterian church last
night. Rev. Fl. M. White D. D., Of
Winchester, will preach tonight and

Lords Supper will be administered

to take much part in the services

eighteen years. On two of the days
he was sick, and twice was absent ir

THE COuRT.

The third week of the Circuit
Court is about ending. 1t has been
full Of work and attended with many
tiresome and difficult questions, with
plenty OF labor. Close technical po-
sitions have brought Judge Faulk-
ner to the front, not only as lawyer
but as judge, and he met them all
with fair consideration, impartiality
and promptness. That is right We
have been knocking along inside
those walls for more than genera
ton and when turned down, we ap-
preciate che knowledge of straight
squareness in either judge or jury.

ODD ON SLLYER-

Senator Voorhees, was the special
champion for Mr.. Cleveland in the
repeal of the Silver Bill as he was
Chairman of the Senate Committee
on Finance. Now, he comes to the
front, introducing bill for the pur-
chase of silver, and our friends of
Winchester Times berate his posi-
ton as follows
1t is rather odd that Senator
VOORHEES,, after leading the admins
tralion fight for the repeal of the
silver purchasing clause of the Sher-
man bill should now introduce a
silver purchasing bill of his own.
The financial wisdom of the Hoosier
statesmans seems to be past finding
out"
We can only say the way of the
heather Chinee is peculiar. If we
were running a circus and wanted an
acrobat or specialist on somer-
saults we would hire VOORHEES, or
some other Democrat.

nothing more of them until they re-
turn home and enter complaint
against the teacher, then the parents
join in condemnation of the teachers
thereby doing unkindness to the
child and injustice to the teachers.
1t is q fact known to all teachers
that as rule the most complaining
parents have the most insorrigible
children. This must certainly be the
result of improper home training. /
am sorry to say that some young
persons who have arrived al the age
to be refined, dignifed young gen
tlemen and ladies are sadly given to
misconduct and are not honest
enough to place the blame where it
belongs but complain of the teacher.
Should any one say of this class that
that they were not gentlemen or Ia
dies it would give rise to intense in
dignation, yet their conduct justifes
the assertion. have always been in
sympathy with the teachers and
feel that the insolence of the child at
school and the abuse of the parent at
home Is q greater burden than the
teacher should be compelled to bear.
Parents should remember that teach
ers are not employed as threshing
machines or administrators of tor.
ture, If such were the case, the school
board should furnish each room with
cowhide, cst-o-ninetails, stocks,an
il needs be Calling gun.
The teacher is employed to in.
struct and advise, and if parents will
unite with him or her and assist in
the discharge of duties that devolve
upon the instructor instead of sitting
In shops, stores and on the street
corners abusing teachers in unmeas-
ured terms in the presence of pupils
and those unfriendly to the school
they would feel the consciousness
that they were not only doing their
duty to their children but were aid
ing in the efficiency of the teacher.

A Veteran Democrat of Parkers-
burg illustrates his evolution as a
Cleveland supporter as follows:
He says that the first time Mr..
Cleveland ran he voted for him with
pleasure.
The second time with reluctance.
The third time, under protest.
And if he were to run the fourth
time he would see him in HI before
he would vote for him.
This illustrates the decline an1
fall of Clevelandism all over the
country.-State Journal.
