A CHANCE FOR BENTON COUNTY

We mean by this that the people
Of this county have an exceIlentop-
portunity to educate their children
athome. Why should we send our
children off to some other county
to be educated, when we can get the
same instruction and much cheaper
at the Benton Seminary, which is
situated at our county site. That
people should patronize their own
county, all other things being equal,
is a fact all will admit without ar
gument. Then we should all GER
tainly investigate the Benton Sem
mary before going to other schools
in other counties. Good board can
be had at S7 and So per month in
private families; tuition, Sl.25 to
$3.50. Students can enter at any
time. Special care will be taken
with all students coming into our
rank. Great pains will be taken
in developing young teachers and
preparing them fortheirwork. All
departments will be taught, having
seven instructors. A catalogue can
be had on application. For fur
ther information call on or address

The people of Mckenzie are very
much wearied about their cattle dy-
ing. There is a disease among them
I that is killing a great many milch
COWS. Abouttwenty head have died
during the last two weeks, and they
have been, so far, unable to find a
cure. 1t is pronounced by some to
be anthrax, or splenic fever, a dis
ease in which the spleen becomes
greatly enlargedand filled with bac-
terra, and is almost certain death.
These cattle die within twenty-four
hours from the time they are taken.
Anthrax is an infectious disease,
and can be transmitted to man by

Some Silver Sagacity.

The following words of wisdom
are from the Nashville American:
'sThe poor man who has any silver bull
lion could have it coined just as easily as
the rich man."
This is supposed in case Of free coinage.
"As easily" That sounds well, for the
poor man, but as a matter of fact the
poor man has not q great deal Of SILVER
bullion lying round loose to take to the
mint-not as much on an average, as
would make one silver spoon like Ben
Butler confiscated. As it happens, the
owners of tho silver mines have q good
deal, and free coinage would very soon
change them from poor to rich men, and
therefore undeserving of POpulistic pity.
The sage of the American continues:
What then should be the result If the
United States would 60 it alone in the
interest OF free silverP Does it not stand
to reason that there would be no silver
for sale at less than the price which the
United States was willing to pay? Every
body who had silver all over the world
would naturally say: "The American
government stands ready to pay 81 for
412 grains of silver. / will not take less
AOA uAlnOs consequently oAsOA WOuAO1
be for sale at the price of 81 for the
amount of silver now contained in one Of
our silver dollars.
Verify it does. But as the peo-
pie who have silver are not poor
not much-it is equally plain that
they would refuse to sell silver to
any one for less than they could get
by presenting it to the minis of the
United States for free coinage, and
as no other nation would be in the
market for silver at that price, the
United States would get it all. And
/ this delightful state of affairs-for
the silver would continuejus
so long as the United States could
sustain her credit in making a fifty
cent coin worth a dollar. The task
of providing this immense royalty
to the sellers of silver would fall
upon the taxpayers, who are fol
the most part poor men. How
grievous that burden would be, Car
never be known till tried.-True
Democrat.
