THE ARGUS is in receipt of cat

THE ARGUS is in receipt of cat 'Alogue or prospectus of the Shef- field (Ala.) High School. It IS one of the finest pieces of adver- tising that could have been pro- dnccd for the sshool. It shows that the Directors are all vide awake, progressive business men and are willing to spend q little money to advertise their school. If other Boards would follow the example of- the Sheffield board, and spend some thought, talent and cash in pushing their home schools, there would be no excuse for sending children away o"col- leges', to learn what should be taught at the home school. The elegant printing of the catalogue was executed by the Reaper, Shef- field, which publishes one of the peatest papers Tn the South.

THE artificial lake" hog wal low and slash on Ash street be- tween Main and New Orleans Av- enue, continues to be an eye sore and general nuisance. Since the recent rains it is considerably worse than before. The drain pipes repeatedly dug up and as often replaced by "enterprisilig" city officials and official ditch dig gers, cannot draw the water uphill. When the ARGUS suggested that | few loads of earth thrown i'll the low place would force the water of and thus make it unnecessary to again dig up and reset the drain pipe, the city dads having the work in charge hooted at the idea, and gave it out that they "knew their business.

THE season has again arrived when the parents of Arkansas are having to spend hundreds of thou sands of dollars for school books. In many places new teachers are being installed and in very near every instance there is change of text books, thus causing parents to pay outrageous prices for an entire new set of books. It IS high time this was stopped and uniform set of text books adopted by the entire state. We sincerely trust that some honest law maker will introduce such measure in the next legislature and then push it with such vigor as to keep the school book trust from buying it's defeat.

An Incident of Raj ilroadfng and Bush
 whacking in 1882.
 All day the train had been waiting at Shady Riil for orders. Once in awhile the engineer would ask the brakeman to cut him of, and he would race up and down the track in order to 'pump her" for there were no .injectors on the locomotive in 1862. All day the conductor sat in the caboose, where an operator was working, expecting or ders to back away, -or the Johnnies were getting the better of the Tanks. Once, when the engineer went down the track into the pine forest, he saw band of bushwhackers riding leisurely through the wood in the direction of Shady Rill. These were not men of the north nor yet of the south. They were marauders, murderers, masquerading as soldiers, and equally dangerous to each army. The engineer told the con- ductor what he had seen, and, taking couple of muskets and one of the brakemen, the captain put himself into the wood tank and set out 10 hunt the bandits. It was an odd way to go to work, but the conductor considered it better than remaining at the run to be plundered, if not murdered by the band The bushmen must have heard

subordinntins Desrrr.

Desire is the basis and cause of all our wrong doingthe desire to have what we should leave alone. It is sim ply the story of Adam and Eve and the serpent ever again. But should we blot out our desire? Not by any means; for upon desire pivots the growth of civili- zation. With the first human hunger society began it's march forward out of barbarism. What we should do is to subordinate our desires to the spiritual sides of our nature.-Rev. T. 6chnu- flrber.

We wish to call attention to the fact that nearly 90 per cent of the total number of teachers held lower than first grade certificate, and that the average salary pald to teachers of the first grade is over eleven dollars per month more than is paid to the second grade and over fifteen dollars more than to those of the third grade. Taking these points into consideration it is plainly seen that there Is room and reward for those at the top. Let the teach CTS of the lower grades study and strive to advance to the very high est mark, so that Monroe county may show by her next report that she is alive and progressive in educational matters.

While Sherman was tout in the air" between Atlanta and the sea, rations sometimes got little short; but the men were good-natured about it. One day an officer found soldier eating 9 persimmon that he had picked up, and cried out 10 him:

 The Valley of Death is on the island Java. It IS the most re- markable natural example of an atmosphere loaded with carbonic acid gas in existence, It has never been fully explored, because of the danger of remaining more than few moments in its poison ous atmosphere. Approached through an opening between the hill it is seen to be an oval shaped valley, about half a mile across. It is about thirty five feet deep, the bottom is hard and sandy, without vegetation, and strewn with large stones. The surface is covered with the bones of animals, birds, and hnman be- ings. Explorers seldom venture beyond the borders, though the deadly air does not immediately effect human deings. This is be- cause the carbonic gas being heavier than the atmosphere set ties to the bottom of the valley. Dogs or fowls thrown into it die in few minutes. It IS thought that the openings are near the base of the rock hills surrounding it.

There is a man in Marietta who has

continuously for fourteen years. In that
tame he has paid 1854. The journal is

JOHN BARLEYCORN IN FLORIDA.

Jennings: In the wet and dry cleo
ton of this county (Hamilton), Jennings
went dry, IS to IS. The whole county has
gone dry, and there will be no more whis-
ky or liquors sold after the present license
expire.
At the last meeting of the Dade County
Commissioners there were five petitions
presented by individuals asking the privi-
lege to sell wine beer and liquors, all OF
which were granted. This brought a rev.
enue of $3.50 to the state and 81 $50 to the
county. All of these saloons are located
outside the limits of the city of Miami.
Deputy United States Marshal James
Clark of the Western district, but who
calls Ocala home, arrived at that place
Wednesday night, and Thursday morning
arrested Adam Clyatt, a well-known col
ored man, and left with him for Tallahas-
see, where he will have a hearing. Clyatt
is charged with selling liquor without a
license, at Williston, in Levy county, last
year.
Bellville: At Tuesdays election, to de-
eide whether whisky shall be sold In this
county, this district voted dry" by
small majority. Very little interest was
shown by either side al this place, every
man going to the polls and casting his
ballot without electioneering to change
his opinion. At a similar election here
a few years ago this district voted dry"
and all seemed satisfied with the existing
conditions, and did not really desire a new
election as no one wants whisky sold in
Bellvilie.
The County Commissioners of Dade
were in regular session at Miami Thurs
day, but declined to act upon the whisky
petitions, for the reason that part of
the affidavit prescribed by the statute of
1897, which requires each petitioner to
make oath that none of the names to the
petition have been signed to it after the
revision of the registration list by the
board at their meeting in June last did
not accompany the petition, but as the
required affidavit may be forthcoming
(and that appears TO be the only defecD
permits will no doubt be granted.
