GOLD HILL NOTES.

Crop Prospects Fairly Good-The School In
Operation Again-How the Band Boys
Were Treated In Chester.
Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
GOLD HILL, August 3.-Rain is still
the cry of the people. Crops are look
ing heap better than they did few
days ago, and if we get a few more
seasons, will make tolerably fair
yield.
School opened at this place three
weeks ago, under the able manage
ment of Prof. Jackson Hamilton, with
an enrolment of 70 pupils. We hope
soon to run the enrolment up to and
over 100 pupils. Preparations are be-
ing made to accommodate 200 or more
pupils. Work was commenced last
Monday on the new part to the school
house, and we hope to have it ready
for the fall term.
The Gold Hill band returned from
delightful visit to Chester last Fri
day morning. Our band considers it.
self very highly complimented in
being selected to furnish music for the
reunion at Chester, and our stay there
was indeed most pleasant. The people
of Chester had exerted themselves to
the utmost in making preparations to
make all who might attend the re.
union, enjoy it. The people in general
were very courteous and showed us
many kindnesses which we shall not
forget soon. Our band generally has
a good time. There are some fellows
in the band that are so constituted that
the result cannot be otherwise under
anything like favorable circumstances.
On this occasion things were, if posi-
BILE, more than favorable. Having
finished our farm work, dressed up in
our new uniforms, with horn in hand,
we started on our trip. The one thing
that always has much TO do with
making the band enjoy their trips, is
the place where they have to board
while away. All the fellows like
something good to eat, and some OF
them are contented with no small
amount. Chester has splendid board
ing houses; but none of them are
better than the home at which we were
entertained.
When we were not engaged in fur
nishing music, we returned to our
boarding place, where we spent the
time very pleasantly playing games OF
various kinds. Some of the fellows
enjoyed crokinole very much. At first
some of us could not understand the
count, it would go against US every
time; but by and by, we too learned
that one of the main objects of the
game was to "count," and to count
quick and fast, and to always keep
your men in the position you wanted
them. We certainly fell under many
obligations for the kind and hospitable
treatment we received at the hands OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Hafner and family while
in Chester.
AS soon as we are through playing
at one place, we generally want to
leave and get home at once. You can

tain giving orders to be ready to start
at once. Not so on this occasion. We
were so in love with the place and the
people-especially were some of the
Young fellows of the band-that they
did not leave until the next day. The
old captain brought up the rear.

THE THIN LINE BETWEEN.
Plausible Figuring as to How Bryan May
Win,

Mr.. Bryan's chances of carrying the
next election grow brighter everyday,
and the Republicans are beginning to
be aware of it. That they are con-
templating the possibility of McKin-
ley's defeat is made evident by the
fact that the gold standard men are
disposed to rush "currency reform
bill" through the next congress, plac-
ing our financial system absolutely
upon gold basis. 1t is recognized
that it will be impossible for tbs silver
men to gain control of the senate in
side of six years, but q silver
president could instruct his secretary
Of the treasury to redeem government
al obligations in silver as we'll as gold,
unless the law is so changed that no
option is permitted. The adherents of
The gold standard will take every pre-
caution to prevent this. Mr.. Bryan's
chances can be figured easily. In the
last election he received only IT'S elec-
toral votes, while Mckinley got nearly
100 more. This looks like very large
majority, but a reflection will show
that it is not insuperable. Maryland
went against Bryan in 1896, but the
vicious and cowardly course pursued
by the administration toward Schley
has, it is said, made that state firmly
Democratic. Kentucky went for Nc.
Kiuley by scanty plurality, but it
will roll up big majority for Bryan
in 1900. 1t is true there is Demo-
cratic factional fight on in that state,
but all the factions are for Bryan, and
the conflict is an advantage to him on
the theory that the more cat fights the
more cats. Oregon gave Mckinley
plurality of 2,1l7 in 1896; it may be
won over to Bryan in 1900. In Cali
fornia McKinley's plurality was 2,797,
but that small figure ought to be capa-
BILE of being wiped out. 1t is possible,
moreover, that Bryan may carry Indi-
ana and West Virginia. The latter
state is naturally Democratic, while in
the former the trusts which have been
aided 80 materially by the present
administration have thrown thousands
of men out of employment. Most of
these men were induced to vote for
the little tin god of protection four
years ago because they were told that
Mckinley would have dominion over
wind and tide, and be would see that
they had higher wages. The Indiana
drummers alone who have lost out
since Mckinley came in could easily
render McKinley's defeat in the state
absolute. To be elected Mr.. Bryan
must get 49 more electoral votes than
he received in 1896, and if he carries
the six states above mentioned he will
have several electoral votes to spare.
McKinley's pluralities in these states
were about 10000, hence the winning
over of 1000 votes therein will elect
Bryan in 1900 provided he holds his
own in all the states that very small
margin lies between the Nebraskan
and success, and when we consider the
widespread disgust with the Mckinley,
administration in all its branches it is
highly probable that the Republican
party will have to select some other
standard bearer than Mckinley or 60
down in defeat before the Democratic
David Memphis Appeal.
