A weather prophet has arisen in our

in opposition to Hicks.
Rev. j. F. Landsbrough has been under
the weather since his return, but has SUI
ficiently recovered to fill his appointment
at Woodbridge on Sunday last with the
assistance of Arch'd McCully who gave

address was both interesting aud in
structive.
Our school is quite a success this win

monarchy, much to the surprise OF all
here as we have more loyal Americans to
the square inch than any other country
in the Union, believe it must be the free
trade in wheat that has done it.
Harry Underhill rather gives himself

Teachers Training School.

A successful and largely attended
Summer Training School for Mar
shall county teachers opened at the
school house in this city on Monday
and will continue four weeks. The
school is conducted by Prof. E. T.
Carroll, Prof. William Angus and
Miss Gertrude Earhart, instructors
employed by the state, and our ac-
tive and efficient county superinten-
dent, D. Robertson, is also on deck
aiding and directing in the work.
Oyer seventy bright and energetic
young teachers, nearly all in the
county, are enrolled in the school.
This large attendance on the part of
the teachers shows that they are TAX
ing deep interest in their work and
are desirous of improving in their pro-
fession. These summer training
schools are designed especially for
the teachers of our country schools TO
enable them to learn improved meth
eds of teaching. Many who attend
this school do so at sacrifice in
financial way, and it would be no
more than right for school boards to
take this fact into consideration when
hiring teachers. Those teachers who
attend the training school ought to
be given the preference both as to
employment and wages.
The sessions Of the school begin at
z: 80 O'Clock in the morning. Assem-
bling at this early hour shows that
the teachers are here for work and de-
termined to put in full day.

The Republican tariff law does not
seem to have any depressing effect
on wheat prices. During the week
the market has been climbing up con
tinuaily, and to-day No. 1 is quoted
at 70 cents. The Dingley bill has
the right ring.
