Teachers Institute.

The three hundred and more young
men and women who are Butler coun
tvs school teachers for the coming term
adjourned their Institute last Friday
afternoon, and in a short time the gents
with their black suits poetic locks and
learned countenances and the ladies with
their pocketbooks in hand, shirt waists
and smiling faces We're with rs no
more. The closing address, one of ex-
ceptional power, was made by Dr.
Hauck. Before adjourning the com
mittees on finance and resolutions re
ported. The resolutions expressed the
thanks and gratitude of the teachers to
the instructors who addressed them
during the week. If good advice and
sound principles will make good teach
ers. Butler county will certainly have
them this winter, for the instructors
drew of the knowledge they had gained
by experience and presented it to the
teachers in choice language and it only
remains with them TO utilize it.
The lecture by Geo. W. Balm last
Thursday evening was replete with
wisdom. patriotism and beautiful elo-
quence The subject was The New No-
man and the Old Man and lecturer
showed that the best of both were
formed and must always exist on the
firm old Bible principles Whoever has
not heard Mr.. Balm should do so at the
first oppor tunity.
