John Yarbrough, of Spencer,
spending few weeks in this Vi
, cinity. He reports everything live
y IN his ncighborhood and wherey
er there is q smoke there is one o
more Republicans.
The days are getting shorter,
And longer grows the night;
Old Sol IL shirking duty
And turning oil the light;
The evening comes so early
That ere the clock strikes eight
Staid citizens get sleepy
And think the hour is late.
Green Sexton and L. J. Hover
male have this year been expert
menting with Irish potatoes. Greer
planted his potatoes in the moon
and Jep planted his in the ground
Green's potatoes are still in thu
moon, and Jep's potatoes are yet in
the ground.
Some people object to the hunt,
ers that come from the cities with
two seated carriages, $50 dogs and
$50 guns, but they are quite "A help
to the rural district just the same.
They generally waste all their am
munition and then buy their game
of some little farmer lad with "A
fifty-cent dog and an old Zulu gun
and by so dong bring money in the
country.
The young fellows who are CON-
Ing back from the service will be
looking around for wives, and you
can safely wager that the girl who
knows how to cook will have a big
hunch over her less fortunate sister
who can do the two-step in good
style. The boys have had poor
grub for long spell and the right
kind of home made biscuit and
broiled steak will catch. Get out
your cook books and study up.
Another young fool who smoked
from GO to 100 cigarettes day
and couldn't see that 1t hurt him
any" has meandered into the sac
charine subsequently,. His parents
noticed that he was in the habit of
saying peculiar things" and they
also noticed that his complexion
resemb,ed that Of an Early Ohio
potato, bu; still he said he felt all
right. Two weeks ago he took to his
bed nervous wreck; and at this
writing he is in a critical condition
and not expected to live. Knowing
the results why will boys continue
to 0sa the weed?
Ike "Gobble" election bill is .
pa" isan measure that does net
represent lie senii;aInt fos s4'r
play which all good, honest citiz-ns
should demand. The fact that Cow
ington is the home of Senator Goe-
bel, author of the Infamous election
bill, makes the Republican victory
in Covington more significant by a
of over two hundred votes
in city 1000 Democratic. The
victory is due mainly to the rule or
ruin methods of the gang that has
the party. Furthermore,
we will say that the Goebel law is
Il shame and disgrace to any civil
lied community.
We agree with "Flat Creek" ex-
ectly. The first need of our public
schools is qualified and experienced
teachers. The State has confided
to the teachers very important
trusts. He or she is to train the
boys and girls Tor usefulness in
life, to prepare them for the duty
Of citizenship. The teacher is cloth
ed with authority to govern the
school to the end that he may do
the work assigned him. The laws
,f the State support him in all rea-
demands made of the pupils.
Each child in school has all the
work he can well accomplish. Par
,nts should report every case of
pupils claiming to have nothing to
10 to the Superintendent. Schools
are too expensive for trifling. Ev-
,ry minute of time should be used
10 the best advantage. All are in
crested in the public school, or
should be, no matter what his re-
igious or political belief may be.
II he favors a public school at all
ne must feel a deep interest in the
Welfare of them. 1t Is only of late
years, and more common in the
West, that anyone thought of mix
ng politics and church with the
schools, and there is evidence
enough on the surface to show that
it is a great evil and if persisted in
will as certainly wreck the schools
as night follows day. The only
question in selecting teachers
should be their ability and loyalty |
to the public schools. Teachers are
selected, even in our own county,
to manage the schools because of
church affiliations, because they
need a support, because of relation
ship. and not because of their fitness
for the position.
