Our neighboring little
town of Sidney has a good
school, one of the best in
this or any surrounding
county, The school at
that place has not been built
up without an effort, None
are. The teachers and
patrons do not split straws,
but work together toward
one end, that of having a
good, live school-and they
have got it. Inducements
are offered to attract new
students--and they get them.
They work early and late for
the Sidney school, and not
in vain, for it is fixture OF
which they may be proud.

"MOnday Morning."
An Essay Read by Miss Viola Arru Before ihs
sidney Hterar? Society.

Life has it's spring time
and blossoming season,
which, if lost are followed
by fruitless years.
One fifth of a normal
career is allotted by nature
to the growing and matur-
ing peroid; and the remain
ing four 6fths, to the fruit
ing and reproduction per.
iOd.
In our work here wei have
five days out of every week.
According to this, then,
Monday, the first working
day of the week, is the time
for sowing the seed, and the
remaining four days for
harvesting.
Then should we not be
very careful as to how we
spend our Mondays? Why
should we not make the
Monday morning of life
bright? Many consider
Monday the most important
day of the week Farmers,
who are interested in their
work, desire an early start
Monday morning. Our mer-
chants want their trade to be
good Monday mornings.
But. on the other hand, on
entering school Monday,
every thing seems to be life
less. Generally about the
first thing we hear after
entering our recitation room
is, well this lesson is not
so we'll prepared as it should
have been, but then this is
Blue day."
Now why is this? Why
should we not start in each
Monday morning with re.
newed determinations? Why
is it that we so often come
before our beloved teachers
with such unpleasant les
ons?
We should spend Monday
we'll; for, as the old saying
goes, well begun is half
done" Then let us from
this time hence, if we have
been idling away our time
from Friday evening til
Monday morning, spend the
time in preparing our les
sons for Monday morning,
and in so doing, we will not
only bring back the natura
smiles to our teachers faces,
but will obtain that lasting
good which will be so bene'
fetal to us in after life.
That we may make proper
advancement IN our school
lite, let us prepare our Mon
days work well; aud, thai
we may reap a glorious har'
vest, let us spend the Mon
day Of our life Alright.

Cling to maintain their con-
stitution which was adopted
in 1866. Under this constl'
tuition they elect a chief and
house of delegates every two
years. The nation is dl-
yided up into districts and
in each district the laws are
administered by judges elect
ed by the people similar to
our own. They have a
criminal and civil code. All
their treaties, constitutions
and public statutes together
make a volume about the
size of the acts of the Ar
kansas legislature for 1897.
In this regard l think the
Cherokee people could teach
the legislators of Arkansas
an important lesson, that is,
it is not the number of laws
enacted that benefit the
people, but the quality of
the laws. l am sure that it
is as much the duty of the
members of the legislature to
defeat much of the legislat-
ion proposed as any other
capacity in which it may act
for the people.
The Cherokee people have
a public school system in
which they have taught the
English language. Some
years ago they passed a law
prohibiting the Cherokee e
language being taught in
their schools, so they all
speak and write the English
language.
These little republics are
failures, so far as the ad.
ministration of justice in
this country is concerned,
They have no jurisdiction
over a citizen of the United
States, and as a result the
great number of people who
flocked to this country set
at defiance their laws and it
has followed that the Indians
themselves give but little
heed to them. With but few
exceptions the white man
has done the thinking and
business of this country, and
the Indian and his govern
ment has never been much.
The Cherokees have some
great men. These men
have stood up and with elo,
quence as thrilling as Black
Hawk, have plead with their
people to be true to their
tribal relations, but their
sun has set. TO me it is sad.

By midday prices had eased off to net loss of four to five points under further liquidation, this cotton being taken almost entirely by Liverpool representatives. After a period of extreme dullness early in the afternoon the market again became spasmodically ac- tive with the undertone feverish. owing 10 conflicting reports from Washington and another break in stocks.

 Birmingham, March 31-The market open ed from 1 to points lower this morning, both here and in London, on rumors that Spain had emphatically refused to recog- nize Americas demand regarding Cuba. This was followed by official denial that any action had been taken and that Sa- gasta's cabinet was in session considering propositions and advices from banking in- terests that affairs would be settled ami cably. The market responded with advanc- es of to 8 points; this was followed by efforts in the senate to bring up Frey,s resolution for action and patriotic declara- tions, whilst there was no absolute rela- ble news in the last hours of trading. Con- siderable stress was laid upon the fact that Spatn's sending additional ships Cubavise upon report of the presidents message last Tuesday, did not indicate submission If Ia also argued Spain will appeal to other pow CTS for more time, claiming the presidents message first intimation of the situation

He Was One of the Most Influential
Citizens of Albany.

Albany, Ga, Feb. 26.-Albany mourns

heart.
About ten days ago while looking after
his extensive saw mill interests at ENG

death. He rallied sufficiently to be
brought TO Albany and was soon regarded
as past all danger

had called to see him this morning, he
sat up suddenly in bed, gasped once or
twice and fell back dead.
No man has done more for Albany and

large family connection. The funeral will
