Prof. John w. Sandusky. a teacher and
a citizen for many years in Lafayette
county, commences school on Monday,
September 3, in the Robert Metcalf and
David Groves ~neighbOrhood.
Some Kansas City company, mounted
on bicycles, visiting friends in Odessa,
Higginsville, Blackburn, Slater, Malta
Bend, Miami and Lexington, rolled into
Higginsville, recently, stayed an evening
with Mrs. Vivion, and n night at the
Vivion hotel. They are Mr.. Williams and
wife and the Misses Wood. Mrs. Will
liams was once a pupil OF the writer Of
these notes, and one of the very best and
most intelligent young ladies' he ever saw
in all his teaching. They moved along
with perfect case, and at their leisure,
while making calls along their way.
While here they visited the Confederate
Home, and were joyfully received. The
old soldiers made their pleasure known
by ringing bells, and various other
manifestations.
Miss Lulu VivIon, OF Higginsville,
commences her school at Hughesville,
Pettis county, Monday, September 3. She
has had superior school advantages, pre-
paratory for her work as q teacher. She
was once a student for one term at the
Methodist College, in Lexington, and
subsequently for three terms in Lafayette
College, at one time under the manage
she attended for two terms the Warrens-
burg Normal School, and, later, spent two
years in Bethany College. Beside the
above preparation, she has taught, with
much success, three terms in succession
in the same place in Lafayette county.
Elder Charles IL. Plattenbarg preached,
Sunday and Sunday night, to very large
audiences In the Higginsville Christian
church. His speaking is wonderful,
almost phenomenal. His mind, almost
without effort, seizes the important parts
of his subject, which he presents, with
many appropriate illustrations, to his
auditors. His S~partan-like convictions
cause him to speak with convincing
force, interest and zeal. His easy, rapid
and broad classifications enable him to
speak without being do and tiresome
to his auditors. He il n young man OF
fine culture, Biblical attainments and
fine natural ability. IL he lives, he will,
as a minister, 500 take his place in the
very front rank of ministers. He was
perfectly easy while speaking, and his
discourses had a vigorous continuity
running through them. His illustration
were many, easy and varied. All gave
him their undivided attention. He IL
emphstically a man; will his trends ever
cease calling him the hoy preacher?'

Mr.. McKinley's tariff reduced the
revenues Of the country, caused gold
depletion in the treasury, and a panic.
The democratic tariff bill, by reducing
duties, will increase the receipts at the
custom houses, thereby building up the
treasury balance and restoring con-
fdence. This will insure prosperity to
the country.

DECIDE WELL.

During the next two weeks nearly
every institution Of learning in the
nation will open its doors, that all who
come may drink deep at the fountain
of knowledge.
The INTELLIGENCER has no fears
concerning the attendance at the Lex
ington schools this year. Their extern
sive regulations, their well deserved
good names, and their past grand
work, insure fol- our schools liberal
patronage in the future as in the past.
The future of many young men and
ONE will be decided within the next
ten days. Every man owes it to his
children to educate them, and in choos-
ing a school one should exercise careful
judgment and judicious investigation.
During the college days a young man
or a young woman largely moulds the
future character. The lives of all
educated people to a large degree mir
O the character of the school at which
they were educated.
Man is largely the creature of his
environments. He will reflect in ma
turer years, the surroundings of his
boyhood home, no less than those of
the college under whose instructors be
was taught to master the satires, Of
Horace, the difficult lessons in Calculus
or the complex propositions of physics.
Parents, then, cannot be too careful
in the selection Of plas es at which to
educate their children. The broad
future has much of promise for edu-
Gated young men and women.
The nations greatest men in the
future, as they have been in the past
fifty years, will largely be college
graduates. Statistics will show that
the large majority of our public SER
wants, or those who have attained high
rank in the professions of law, medi-
cine or the ministry, are those who have
upon ONE commencement day been
sent out into the world, bearing a GER
tificate countersigned by college author
tiles.
Man must be educated. His mental
powers must be carefully trained from
boyhoOd. He must learn from those
who know, from those who are
thoroughly conversant with their work,
and whose fitness to teach has been
tested by experience.
Fathers, mothers, educate that boy
or girl of yours. The times have been
hard, money is scarce, but possibly this
is aturning point in your child's history.
Possibly for a few years you will have
to deprive yourselves of some of the
comforts and pleasures of life, but bet
ter this than have your child grow up
in ignorance. Educate him or her 1t
Dcst you coh' Leu thot ooh uouSh'

learning as your circumstances will
possibly permit, but be careful under

Every building is not a college o il
every man an educator.

children; then, as in a God gwen mis-
sion, select u school wherein the motto
is edo right"

Periodically, Joseph b. McCullagh
feels it incumbent upon himself to rise
and declare that he is not a democrat.
The democratic party feels an equal
interest in establishing Mr.. McCullagh's
un~questionable status as a republican.
The only reason that McCullagh is
suspected of once having been a DEM
ocrat is because of his present abuse of
that party, renegades always being
more jealous and INSCRIPTIONS than
anybody else.

means cheaper sugar the republicans
give away their case. 1t removing the
tariff from sugar reduces the price,
why is it that reducing the tariff on
woolens does not also reduce their cost

reduced, preparatory to taking them
off altogether.

Now, who are ssthose who know best

the manufacturers, the beneficiaries of

doctrine of the republican party that
these beneficiaries should set the tariff
bounties which they are to enjoy. as
they did in the framing Of the McKin-
