Is a cause of glad rejoicing, and tho
good news is quickly sem by wire all
over the land, when this or that estab-
lishment finds Its business sufi cient
to warrant working as many hours
and with as many hands as in pros.
porous years. How far recovery has
advanced, taking all kinds of business
together, may perhaps be inferred by
the pay meuts through clearing houses
which in August. with unusually
large deferred settlements from pre-
vious months because of the great de.
lay last spring, and with extraordinary
speculation in progress here and at
the West, were nevertheless 9 per
cent smaller that in 1892.
Another fact Of which people will
judge from their personal knowledge
is that the wages Of labor and the
profits Of business arc not what they
we're in days Of prosperity. That

ers have received some advance in
wages since the time Of greatest de-
preston is most cheering, and yet
everybody known that within his per.
sonal acquaintance most wage-earners
ere still receiving less than they used
to receive. The great strike in woo.-
en- and carpet mills which have failed,
the strikes Of iron miners and Of cloth.
ing workers, and the threatened strike
Of cotton workers, with many others
Of less importance, all bear witness to
the same fact, that labor is not yet re.
ceiving much leas than in 1892, before
the country chose to have a "change.
If the twenty million w%age.earners
cannot earn as much money as they
used to earn, neither can they spend
as much, and thus some shrinkage in
the volume Of business is unavoidably
felt wen by those whose conditions
are most fortunate. Nor will mer-
chants or manufacturers hesitate to
admit that their profits in almost every
branch of business have been cut
These are the facts which will gov

great number. Then we're promised
better times If they would give the
party a trial and SEQ the
practical results. They have tried it
a year, and it may be seriously doubt
ed whether one man in a hundred, in
any part Of the country, imagines
that he has been benefited by it ia the
least. But there are millions who
know that they have been injured

To Educational workers.

Since educational meetings held in
the rural districts during the last two
years have been productive of good
results, there will be some meetings
Of similar character held this wear.
The purpose is to enlightcn patrons,
pupils, and officers in regard to recent
changes in school work, new methods
of teachers, and TO create an l.. creased
interest in all that pertains to ad-
vancement in the education Of all the
boys and girls of u county. These
meetings will be held as early in the
car as possible, in order TO call
special attention to the use eff the
state course of study for country
schools.
AT least n teachers meeting this
year will be held at each town in the
country. All teachers who can posi-
bly, attend are expected to be present
at these meetings. Programs will be
sent to teachers at the proper time.
As the following days draw near,
teachers should have their pupils oh.
served them by preparing literary
exercises appropriate for the occasion:
Library dav, Got. 21st), T~hanksgiv.
ing day, Christmas, Arbor day. and
Decoration day. Birthdays Of promi-
nent Americans should be made
special occasions for teaching loyalty
to the las-birthdays Of Lincoln,
Washington, Garfield, Longfcllow
Whittier, Page, etc.
That teachers, patrons, and officers
cooperate with one another to keep
the educational work Of our county
progressing is the wish of

The Sabbath School at the Institute is
in a flourishing condition. The health
of this community is good at present.
Last Sabbath evening two gay, young
fellows called at l.. j. Colts to see the
girls. Little Remine thought they had
come to play with him and boldly
walked in and asked them to 90 out
and play with his little wagon, and
they said no, thank you, we came to
see Misses Minnie and Essie. E. Tapp
