Owing to an extra amount Of work
this week, including the tax list, we
are decidedly short on news and local
matter We couldn't help it and we
will see that it doesn't occur again for
year.

! Talking about the Indian scarce
! Our citizens were certain that they
! had SWOoped down on our town last
Wednesday night. The crowd to which
we refer could have given the Indians
points and then discounted them on
diabolical noises.

Philetus Smith was arrested the
first of the week on warrant
sworn to by D. j. AlSop, charg-
ing him with an assault with in
tent to MAIN. These parties had
a controversy last week while engaged
in stacking grain and Smith struck
Alsop with a pitchfork, breaking his
arm just below the elbow and injur-
ing him otherwise. Defendant will
have an examination Saturday before
Justice Croft. 1t is a very unfOrtu-
nate circumstance to all concerned
and we refrain from saying more, for
obvious reasons, while the case is
pending.
A worthy gentlemen from the south
part of the county called at this
office and wanted to know why
the children in the district schools
were not taught to sing. He said in
his district the children never sang in
school, not even the multiplication
table. This is one branch of educa-
tion which is so simple and so wholly
is one of the best means of Installing
good taste. Every child in our pub
lie schools should be brought up a
patriot, and one of the best incentives
to patriotism that child could re-
ceive in school would be to learn to
sing the national songs. Let the
youngsters learn to sing. 1t will
make them better, purer and happier
all through life-and it makes them
healthier too, expanding their chests
and strengthening their lungs. :
