who has employed to assist him an ex-
pert jeweler and engraver, Mr.. Flaig,
of Danville. Together they have sold
a quantity of the beautiful stock OF
goods which MIR. Palmer, with his in
Irritable taste, had SO carefully pur-
chased. The most costly and beauti-
full cut glass, silver, china, bronze, etc.
besides the quantities of diamonds
clocks, watches, earrings, spoons, forks,
knives, ladies, belts, pins, etc /, and
TO be found in few houses south of Gin
cinnati. All these are being sacrificed
now and those who need any article in
the jewelers. line should call at once.
Mr.. FLAG is an expert engraver and
does all kinds of lettering and mono
gram work cheap.
Incidentally, it may be said that all
those who know themselves to be in.
debted to the late f. Ii. p. Palmer
should settle at once with Mr.. Gibson
as the Court has placed these accounts
in his hands for collection, aud if neg
lected it will be Mr.. Gibson's unpleas
ant duty to proceed by law to forcibly
collect them.

What win Madison do This Year,

One day of the teachers institute is
set aside as trustees day. The trustees
of the public schools of Madison have
never responded largely to this call
This could be made more helpful day
to the public schools than all the rest
of the institute, If trustees and teachers
would meet and discuss school ques-
ton and learn to know each other bet
ter. Such meeting could be made
the foundation of a trustees association
to met every quarter, and who can
estimate the good results that might
follow?
There are over 200 school trustees in
the county and out of these an organ
iZation could be formed that would be
a great moral strength to the county.
There are some questions about the
welfare of the schools that ought to be
discussed, and quarterly conferences
would be of service. How can we OBJ
tain a larger school term for the county
school? Ali admit that five months
term is not enough and yet the teachers
are the only ones who are agitating
the question and it seems to some that
it is selfish matter with them. An.
other question, How can we always
obtain good teacher? The only way
10 learn who are competent and who
are not, is to meet and compare notes.
Drop the poor ones, hold to the good
and in few years the standard Of the
schools could be raised % per cent.
Let every trustee in the county be
present on trustees day and show by
their presence that they are really in
terested in school work.
