near another point in Sharp
county were iron has been
found in ineZhaustible guam
titles, and where a furnace
has been successfully oper-
atcd before the late war,
closed down for want of
transportation for the pro
duct. In building his road
TO Evening Shade he would
pass near Smiths Cross
Roads, in Sharp county,
where lead ore, 90 per cent
fine, can be seen in two
shafts, less than twenty-five
feet deep, in apparently
inexhaustibIe Quantities. 1t
would then enter d belt of
exceIIant pine timber from
ole to four miles wide and
fifteen miles long. He
would pass near Cave City,
a region rich in phosphate
and very near if not
in the manganese region.
He could then build on to
Hardy or Mammoth Spring,
and connect with the Kansas
City, Fort Scott and Mem

mean something for his road

More about the Good
Road.

In private letter, Mr..
TheO. Maxfeld informs us
that Batesville has some
thing over $500 in sight to
be expended upon the road
from that city to Evening
Shade. This fact should
encourage every one along
the line to take hold of this
matter and help secure this
important enterprise. The
citizens of Batesville fully
realize the Importance of
this road to them, and are
willing to put their money
into it. II is also hoped
and expected that the Iron
Mountain railroad will make
a liberal donation for the
same purpose. Now if all
our efforts can be united
into one harmonious whole,
this road can be so improved
this summer as to save the
farmers thousands of dol
lars in marketing their crops
this fall. We hope this
important matter will not
be lost sight of. The RE-
CORD is ready to do all it
can, but we realize that the
time has come VIXEN some
thing more than talk must
be done.

you can a man by the clothes

at Batesville, and he will

Our Public school Teach
ers.

No individual in the state
save the parents occupies a
more responsible position
than our public school teach
ers. The state has no
more important servants.
Henry Ward Beecher said:
I'VE must educate or we
must perish" That is, if
we failed to educate the
citizens, our cherished Re
public will be swept
from its proud position in
to a vortex of ruin. To
meet this demand and to
avert this pending danger
our own state expends an
nually more than a million
and half dollars. Whether
or not this vast sum shall
bring full return to the
state rests with the 5000
teachers in the state. The
state realizes that the
school boy of to day will be
the citizen and voter of to-
morrow, and if he is given
this important power he
should be able to exercise
it to the best interest of
the state. Whether or not
he will do this, rests in the
efficiency of our public
schools.
There is a vast amount Of
machinery connected with
this system, all of which is
ABSOLUTELY necessary, but the
GROWING work Of the whole
system is the duties of the
teacher. Hence how we'll
informed they should be.
The fire of patriotism
should never cease burning
in the teachers soul. They
are the great bulvark of
our ration. The teacher in
the district school has un-
der his power plastic minds
and hearts capable of
swayiGg the scepter Of the
nation, B Il t whether
knowledge to their eyes
be ample page unfold,
whether the love of country
shall supplant the love of
wealth, rests Largely with the
teachers, A look at our
own beloved land, the cry
OF the common people for
labor to earn a morsel Of
bread tell us that "Tyran.
ny has fixed her empire" in
the heart Of the nation and

paralysis. This dread disease has batfIed
