SCHOOL NOTICE.

DEAR ARGUS IL hope I'll not
be trespassing to ask you to in
sert the following
The School Board met at Gran
thams, according to instructions
from the Board of Education, and
as there were good many applir
cants for positions to teach, espec.
tally among the colored race, we
would like to say to them through
your columns, that the Board
employed no teacher for the col
ored schools. Their districts are
30 miserably laid out, we think il
decidedly best for the children to
change the lines and have their
houses located differently.
There is very little money in q
maj 7rity of the old districts for
both white and cu!ored.
We extend an invitation to the
patrons Of all tAc Sctlools (both
white and colore,.l to attend oul
meetings, and re will gladly listen
to any suggestions they see fit to
make in the interest of their re-
spective schools. Our next meet
inc will be the first Saturday in
August next at 3 O'Clock p m.

The Farms and the Marketing of the Crops

The Farms and the Marketing of the Crops
Are the Mainstay of Cur Prosperity.
The Republicans who own
newspapers, or who have access
to columns they do not own. are
engaged i'll Juggling in prosperity,
whether or no. They propose to
have ali recognize it and to rec
joice over it, no matter what
their respective perspective fac~
ulties may incline them 10 do.
They would make a more
plausible showing perhaps if
they go at the job IN hand ia the
accustomed way, instead of tail
first. They say capital is regain
lng confidence. that factories are
starting up. that new enterprises
are every day occurrences This
is a start, mind you,
Prosperity does not start il
that way in this country of farms
and railroads. The crops and the
MAJ ketipg Of them is what we
must build On. Not SO in little
countries, like Belgium or Eng
land, where shops or mills or
both are the basis, and crops and
railroads play second fddle.
Or farmers and railroads are
lot, however in the dumps. They
sold last year cotton and wheat
at pretty good prices. They are
now harvesting a great wheat
crop, and there are shortages in
other wheat~growing countries.
Cattle are in demand at advanced
figures. and more corn means
more cattle. Cotton has not thus
far encountered severe disasters.
II the farmers and transportas
tio1 interests are enabled by the
crops to buy an increased amount
of goods then the basis is laid for
increased activity in the factories
aud for increased confidence in
the breast of the wary capitalist.
Oar esteemed Republican friends
would have US believe that the
course Of trade is the reverse OF
this. They really ask US to be,
l;eve that confidence among capi
talists and mill owners turns the
farmers into active buyers anc
the middlemen into spendthrifts
and that we are therefore 'or
the eve"-so their favorite
phrase runs-of great things.

of all sufferers with blood diseases is
identical. First the doctors are con-
suited, and their prescription of potash
and mercury is taken faithfully, but
without result. Months pass, and the
1nercuria1 dose is continued, until
finally his condition being no better,

discouraged and decides to change
treatment.
but until the right one is found the
results are the same. S. S. S. is the

1t is the only one that contains no
