Drew County Improvement and In-
 vestment Company.

The MoNTICELLONIAN having long since become one of the fix lures of Drew county and one of the things that expects to stay here through diversity as well as pros perity and sink or swim with it's people, it claims the prerogative of making suggestions which 1t deems nccdful and worthy, at any time.
 The time is now propitious for d grand scale of general improvement and healthful development for the county. The continued and con tlnuing low prices of cotton have convinced the people that not on ly cannot a living be made by growing it, but that absolute want and desolation must follow if the cotton-raising system is kept up.
 Then II is apparent that some thing must be done, and that too right speedily, to avert the calani- ty. The question is, what shall 1t be? or what can it be? Ask one hundred men and you would receive many different answers. Some would suggest cotton mill, some an oil-mill, some a roller flour-mill and some factories of one sort and another, any and all of which would, perhaps, be good <; but the trouble is now, and has been, there is no concert of action no formulated plans-and we rock along in the same old ruts and accomplish nothing.
 Now, what we desire to suggest is this z Let there be joint-stock company formed by the citizens of the county, to be for the sole pur- pose of improving and developing the county's general interest. Let 1t be chartered and officered, and books open for subscription stock. When sufficient stock has been sub scribed to put in operation some useful and paying enterprise, let q meeting of the stockholders be called and then let majority of the stock represented, decide what was best to invest the money in. The wisdom of the combined stock holders would be more likely to strike the keynote of what would prove advantageous, than would that of single individual. By such an organization, fully equipp- ed for business, and not for bun combe, one enterprise after anoth- CT would soon be put on foot, and outside capital seeing the progress We were making would be more than willing to come in and join with us and help to build and share the profits.
 In this day and time nearly all great factories and railroads are owned and controlled by compa- nies and not by individuals; and why not such things be done here as well as elsewhere. With proper effort and proper display of energy 100000 could be raised in Drew county, alone, inside of two weeks, to invest in mills, ice factories, wagon-factories, &c., and if that sum was raised here that much more could readily be gotten from the outside to augment that sum for the same purpose. Such institutions as we have suggested would pay good interest on the money invested, besides they would immensely benefit the town and country in many ways. If We had mills and factories in Monti-

THERE was an Indian uprising Ill Western Minnesota last week and several of tine U. $. soldiers were killed, as well as a goodlv number of the red skins. It seems that an Indian is about the hardest thing to tame that the American people have to contend with.

THE REGISTRATION.
Both Democrats and Republicans
Claim That They are Ahead in
This COulnfv

The registration in this city Satur
day last was larger by at least ZOO nlu't
than was exected by the political leaders
OF the Democratic and Republican par
ties.
Ths number OF men that registered
were 5, l47, making grand total in this
city for The five days oI l2,946.
In the entire city on Saturday 4.50 O1
men registering were white and the re.
manning $40 colored.
county Chairman Patrick Neary,
when seen yesterday, was more than un'
usually communicative, and it is very
seldom that the Silent Man" will say
anything in reference to the political
situation.
He claimed that the Democrats had
registered $500 men and that this more
than overcame the majority that the Re-
publicans had by the four proceeding
days uf registration. He also stated that
the county and State, according to the
registration, was Democratic.
A number Of prominent Republican
leaders were interviewed last night, and
they assert that their party still MAIN
tanned the lead it had held by the prior
registrations and had, besides, gained an
additional majority in the county of
over 500 votes.
A conservative view, however, is made
by the independent voter that the Re
publicans lave a majority OF abb ut 1000
in the county.
The Department Of Elections an
nounces, for the information of registra-
tion officers, that the registration officers
OF eacl: election district are required to
appear by this evening before a notary
public and qualify and certify to the cor
rectness of their registration books.

SCHOOLS To CLOSE.
Pupils to be Given . Chance to
Attend the Peace
Jubilee.

The question as to how many days the
schools should be closed this week to al
low the school children TO attend the
Peace Jubilee in Philadelphia, was dis
cussed at last nights meeting of the
Board Of Education.
One member Of the Board alone had
been besieged by thirty-four children
for excuses for Thursday.
A. Il. McCausland, Of the Eleventh
Ward, moved that the schools be closed
Thursday, and D. H. Coyle, Of the Third
Ward, added Wednesday. The Board,
however, decided the schools should
close only on the first named day. A
few members voted no.
1t was stated that where parents took
their children with them 10 Philadelphia
ON the other days Of the Jubilee, the
children would be required to give writ.
ten excuses to tie principal, which would
be sufficient.
William Turner, of the Fourth ward,
reported that he had visited New York,
and seen the architect, who is preparing
the plans. There WAS slight delay
caused by the fact that the bricks did
not correspond.
He also stated that Professor A. E.
Rhoades, OF the High School, had rem.
dered some assistance on the plans after
the closing Of the schools, but had not
set any price for the work. He thought
$50 should be given him. The matter
will come up at The next meeting.
The teachers committee reported that
they rented house No. 6l0 Adams street
for new primary school and that they
appointed Emma A. Strickland teacher
Of the school at $3.50 per year. and Kate
Harkins as monitor teacher in the lowest
position in Schoo. No. /.
Concerning Martha V. Vests applica-
tion for ad vanced salary they think she
ought have had all advance Of salary at
the last reaLpointment and because it
was overlooked then, they recommended
that her salary now be at the rate Of
$500 per year, beginning November l.,
1898.
The new building committee was
ordered to place new shades in No. g
school, and the heat, fuel and ventilation
committee new radiator in one room in
No. IA school.
On motion OF Daniel Ross, Of the First
ward, the u. A. K. were given permis-
sion to hold meeting in the assembly
room Of the High School on Novem-
ber II.
The report Of the Wilmington Insti.
tute Free Library for September showed
accesslons Of 4U6 and Withdrawals Of 30.
The matter Of opening q kindergarten
school in SchuoI No. was referred to
the proper Committee.
The Committee oi School No. lG was
given permission to place electric lights
in the drawing and manual training de-
pultnents Of tjiaU school.
The sum OF $50, still due W. II. Foulk
