IT soems TO Us that we are in far
way of carry ing ont "thc peace AMI
unity" plan OF mass meeting. The
Couny Executive Committee, at its
meeting on last Saturday endorsed the
plan, and we see 10 r,a.on Why it
should not succeed. Wha ever other
counties may DO, let US have ''peace
and unity" in Fairfield. We believe
that our people sincerely wait it, and
they will have it If the politicians Will
Just let them. With five candidates
from each faction it is reasonable to
suppose that four good men will lie
selected TO represent this County IN
the Convention Let every man, who
favors the scheme. say so, LAY so loud
enough to be heard, and act upon his
faith and belief and the scheme will
surely succeed. Let the people take
charge, and the politicians wi have to
follow.

The "Countlng Eggs" was a very
amusing incident; the old negro seller
represented was asking questions
about ages Of The family and would
pause little as he inquired about the
:amily Then he would take up the
number representing some ones age,
36 for instance, when his number of
eggs was perhaps only 81. The piece
wound up with quarrel with the
cook for stealing eggs, for the house
wife had 81 en- them counted and knew
the old man was honest.
The entire affair was success from
beginning to end. Mr.. Fletcher
lIinnant shove that he had ira ned

patrons are very much pleased With
his labor
Mr.. J. e. McCants ha been prev:-
ously requested to speak on tie subjec'
of education. On account of the late
hour he was compelled t. make his
address very short.
He first spoke of his appreciation of
the opportunity of speaking on such
an occasion for il was in q country
school that he received his early train
ingi
Next he spoke of education-iis true
nature and worth. He remarked that
our school days are the watersheds Of
our characters. After this he took up
the subject of thinking and explained
what it is to think. He said that
thinking is measuring and that in order
to think correctly we must have some
known standard by which to measure
our thought. He then spoke of the
case that is necessary IN order that our
thinking be correct.
His whole argument was directed to
The children but it proved to be inte-
resting and instructive, not only to the
children but to all present interested
in the subject of education. 4
After Mr.. McCants concluded his
rcua, Ks, Mr.. Hinnant made a farewell
address to the pupils and patrons and
in few well chosen remarks thanked
them for their attention and hospitality
10 him as teacher.
The exercises then clio. ed and our
party divided, some spending the
night while ,thers returned home.

ORIGIN OF THE WORD CANADA
Two Der,yatlons Are Given from which
You May Chose.


There are many dcriyations given TO
the word Canada, but the one given by
Sir John Brown Is the most curious and
plausible. "Whon the Portuguese,
under Gaspnr Cortereal, In 1900, first
nsccndc thc rrrat river st. Laurence,
they belle .od y was the strait ofwhich
they were in search, and through
which a passage might be discovered
into the Indian sea. hut ON arriving
at the point whence they could clearly
ascertain II was not n strait, but river,
they, with all emphasis Of disappointed
hopes, exclaimed repeatedly, 'Canadol
cIlere nothing), words which were
remembered aud repeated by tho
natives ON seeing the Europeans arrive
Ia i5i3, who naturally coniectured
that the word they heard employed so
often must denote the name OF the
country" The now generally accepted
derivation, however, which Is sup.
ported by the analogy Of other names,
is either that given by Charlevoix, from
tbs Iroquois Kaunata, n collection OF
huts, or from two Indian words, Kan
or Can, a mouth, and Ada, country,
signifying the mouth Of the country,
and presumably originally applied To
the River st. Lawrence.

Among the EsquimauN a novel use
has been found for woman's jaw. Says
Mrs. Pcary IN her new book, "My

OF as much Of the fat as can be got of
by scraping with a knife; then they
are stretched tight as possible and
allowed 10 become perfectly dry. After
this they are taken by the women and
