ond attack of la grippe this year." says

To The Teachers of Lincoln County Pub
lie schools.

You, by this time, fully realize that
this has been, so far, one of the most
trying winters on our country schools
that we have had in years. The
weather has been extremely bad and
the prices of farm products have been
so low that your patrons are apt, in
their dependency, to lose an interest
in school matters. You are especially
requested to strive to overcome this
lethargy and to put forth every effort
to maintain a good attendance through
out the entire term.
All of the schools will be visited, the
report cards and registers inspected
and the schools examined by grades.
In no case will time taught by an UNI
licensed substitute be allowed, and any
teacher or board of trustees signing
such report lay themselves liable to
the law.
The closing exercises of our winter
schools will be held at Grange Hall on
March 10th and 18th. The program
will be given in next weeks issue of
the county papers.
Very respectfully,
EDGAR GREEN,
Superintendent.

A Primary.

The demand for primary for nom
nations for State offices seems to be
general. Such being the case the ex-
ecutive committee can scarcely afford
not to recognize the demands of the
people. The ballot. box is the only
fair, square and satisfactory way to
settle the peoples choice for a public
servant. We do not believe in conven-
lions, nor do the majority of the voters.
The chances for scheming, trickery
and swapping horses" are too great,
and too much INDUCED in to the dis
gust of the people. Give us majority
primary and then the nominations will
come direct from the voters, which is
right, and fair to all.-Fdyette Chronicle.

pneumonia, it was observed that the
attack was never followed by that dis
ease when Chamberlain's Cough Rem

Kidney Troubles.

The kidneys cleanse the blood and on their ac-
tivity depends the health of the body. If the
liver becomes so torpid that it interfereS with
the work of the kidneys the body suffers and
dropSy results. The most valuable feature in
the curative effect of Prickly Ash Bitters is its
stimulating influence in the kidneys. 1t heals
and strengthens those organs so that they re-
sumo their blood cleansing and urine gathering

Back on the Farm," Opera House.
January 26th.

In the rural comedy, Back on the
Farm" Brookhaven's theatre goers
will have a play which will afford two
hours of steady fun and enjoyment.
The play is founded somewhat on the
plan of the "Old Homestead" as it de
picts the life on the farm with all its
simplicity and LONELINESS. It intro
duces the ways of the bunco man and
how an old farmer who thinks he is so
smart and shrewd that he cannot be
swindled by the sharpers, can be very
easily taken in and robbed. There is a
love romance wound in the plot and
the whole makes an interesting play.
During the performance number of
clever specialties are introduced. A
fine company, evenly balanced, with
scenic effects appropriate to the play
and special orchestra, makes the per
Torrance a complete one in every de-
tail. Seats on sale at Heuck's. Re
served 70 cents.
