BEAN E ITEMS.

Correspondence of the Ledger,
BEAN CREEK, March Everything
seems to be in a fiourishing condition
on Bean Creek.
There is considerable moving going
on among the people, and we hope
they viii get settled in good shape
without inconvenience and sickness
We are all fiattering ourselves that
we are going to have a good crop this
year because we have had such a Sc
we're winter and the signs of the times
show it, and we need it bad enough
and have waited long enough for it.
One thing that surprises me is why
the directors and patrons visit the
school so little. Why is this? Is it
because they are not in sympathy with
the teacher? Is it because they are
not interested in the noble u of
education or is it c~arelessness and neg
lect of duty? Which of these causes
is it? The School Laws of the State of
Missouri plainly say "it is the duty of
the Board of School Directors 20 visit
their district school and inquire into
what the teachers are doing, and see
what they need and supply those needs
as far a possible" / "a say that only
one of my school directors has visited
my school this term, and one of the
others came to the window one day
and often passes along the road and
stops at the fence to talk with me, but
he won't come inside and see what /
am doing, despite my entreaties. The
other director has never come near
the school house when school was go
ing on since | have been here. / here
with take the liberty to extend a hear
ty invitation to the directors and pa
irons and everybody in the district to
spend their leisure time with me in the
school room. | will be glad to see you
at any time. One more thing that sur
prises me is this: why do some of the
patrons keep their children at home
for every trivial excuse? If they are
sick and the weather is bad, | don't
blame you for keeping them, but for
any other reason ! do say you are los
ing a golden opportunity. The chill
dren soon imagine they are getting too
old to go to school. What a ridicu-
ious idea. What a mistake you are
making, parents. When your daugh-
ter reaches her teens and your boy has
a little hair on his upper lip then is the
time to compel them to go to school.
Mothers and fathers, those children
will thank you in after years. "The
mother and teacher are responsible
for the man." Mothers, it is your
duty to teach your children to pray in
their tender years and conseerate them
to God and then it is the teachers
duty to carry out the principles of
that Cody mother and father. s'Teach
a child in the way he should go, and
he will never depart therefrom."

M'LoNEY, THE DRY GOODS MAN.
Preparing for an Immense Trade Dur
ing 1S95-Is Now Receiving His
Spring Goods and Carrying
Larger Lines Than Ever.

MeLoney, the dry goods man, re
ports that his business for 1894 was
much larger than that of any other
year since he has been in Mexico, and
that his sales during January and Feb
ruary, 1895, were much larger than
during that time in 1894, and he pre-
diets that we are going to have the
largest trade ever experienced, espec-
tally if we have a good crop of corn,
which is very probable. MIR. McLoney
is already receiving his spring goods
and will carry more and fuller lines
than ever before. He is paying par
ticular attention to mems furnishing
goods and has the latest STYLES in neck
wear, hats and everything else that a
gentleman should wear. His stock of
shoes is much too large and he is going
to reduce it by selling cheap for cash
for the next few weeks.
He is receiving his spring lines of
hosiery, corsets, underwear and white
goods, and is having an unprecedent-
ed sale of the same. McLoney believes
in quick sales and small profits and he
prides himself on turning over his
stock of goods oftener than any other
business man i'll the county. He says
it pays much better to make a small
profit on a large amount of goods sold
than a large sum on a small amount of
goods handled. By selling at a close
profit he increases his business and
gets new customers who stay with
him. Cali and examine McLoney's
stock of goods whether you want to
purchase or not. He likes to show his
goods and is sure to suit you.
