support that it should, there is no
good reason why it should not rank
with the foremost schools in the
state in short time. The very
best people of the county are back
of the enterprise, and are striving
with a worthy ambition to furnish
facilities for every boy and girl in
our county to receive good high
school education, It is a we'll
known fact that those counties fur.
nishing the best educational facili-
ties are the most attractive and
sought after by the best class of i'm
migrants and homeseekers. So it
behooves us to act il coucert and
harmony in any matter whereby we
may advance the material and edit
cational interests Of Our young and
undeveloped county, and render it
attractive to the class Of residents
we wish to welcome among us.
Mr.. l.. K. Brooks opened a pri-
vate school here last week with
good attendance. Mr.. Brooks is
first-class educator who has alieady
taught several terms Of public and
private school here with credit to
himself and pupils, and will no
doubt soon turn out another class

Last Saturday Louie, son ofCapt.
Jas. Robertson, had one of the fin
gers of his right hand cut off and
two others injured while assisting
his father in splitting wood. DR..
Diven, of Newport, was summoned
and dressed the wound, and Louie
is doing we'll at present, and we
hope to soon see him again coming
regularly across to the school, of
which he is a irregular attendant and
studious and bright pupil.
1t happened last Thursday morn.
1t is boy and its Pa said it weigh
ed about IS pounds. 10 Kendall
says he now has two of the heaviest
boys on the Bay, and that he in
tends making locomotive engineers
of both of them.
The ladies, God bless 'em, fur
nished the lumber and the men the
work, and removed the cracked
plaster from the public school build
ing, ceiling it smooth inside and
overhead. They also changed the
shape of the ceiling from V to an
arch, which has made the acoustic
properties of the house frst-class.
The room was full of confusing
echoes as it was formerly construct
ed.
The two Misses White, of Poole
slough, have secured room at Mr..

I am not much of a politician but
the nomination of a second mug
wump democratic ticket in New
York, just at this time when all the
democratic votes are needed for the
regular ticket, reminds me that in
the animal kingdom there is but
one beast that has longer ears and
louder and more discordant voice
than some men. And "wotye not?"
a braying democrat can make Just
as big fool of himself, when he
tries hard, as long-eared republi-
can could if he wished to. And
that is what is the matter with New
York.
The Hon VIM. Mckinley seems
to be canvassing the country for
the next presidential nomination.
Chas. Dickens, in his American
Notes said: "I came over to TIE
United States in a very exciting
time; it was only two years to a
presidential election, and everybody
was talking politics" Will Nc
Kinley be in it two years hence1 I
trow not.
