We understand there are still a few
ladies in Marble Hill and vicinity who
did not take advantage OF our recent
offer to send an elegant silver plated
sugar shell absolutely free Of charge to
any married lady who would simply ask
for it, SO we will renew the offer for a
short time only. We sell these shells
regularly at forty cents each. Retail
jewellers ask fifty to seventy FIVE cents
for such goods. They are exquisitely
beautiful creations in high-grade silver
plate. To further advertise our ware we
will send one, postpaid, to every married
lady who has not received one. This
announcement should be cut out and re-
turned to us with your request. (This
is importantly. Also please enclose a
stamp or two to help pay cost of mailing.

Of the raw material of which fiction is

to them, however, with new vigor, and
even fuller power; and the serial which

thorough originality, and absorbing
interest The scene Of tho story is
Pontiac (whither valmond camo), and
the period the middle fiftios. The lcad-

Pontiac, for whom sho darea all and

dred country schools in different
parts of the state during the last
two months, and wish to call your
attention to some favorable as we'll
as some unfavorable conditions that
exist.
Comfortable, comparatively new
and neat school houses are found in
many districts. There are few
dilapidat4d, uncomfortable houses
in wealthy districts. With a little
care and forethought many school
rooms can be much more comforta-
bly, and conveniently arranged.
Windows may be hing on cords so
as to be opened from top for ventila-
ton. little or as much as occasion
demands. Window shades would
enable teacher to regulate the light
and at the same time give the room
a home-like appearance. The stove
should be placed near the entrance
and encircled by sheet-lron jacket
so as to heat the room more by cir
culation than by radiation. Seats
should be arranged with the differ
ont sizes in rows to themselves and
set near enough to each other SO
that little children will not be com
PEELED to sit on edge Of seat and
lean forward to reach the desk,
Nearly every school visited was
poorly heated and hao seats badly
arranged. Some districts have clean
floors, bright walls, good black
boaros, pictures and other means of
ornamentatlon on the walls. all
these add much to the interests and
cost comparatively nothing except
forethoughtand energy. The worst
conditions except a slovenly teacher
are dirty, dingy, dusty and, IN some
instances, filthy floors and desks.
Many school boards are wisely
purchasing s 0 m supplementary
work and IN cooperation with the
teacher are making good selections.
Other districts, notably in Monroe,
Charlton and Clinton counties,
directors have been Influenced by
lmpostors to purchase lot ofbooks
that are not worth anything TO the
school. 1t is reported that men
representing what they call "The
Missouri Library Associate a.
claiming the Endorsement Of the
State School Department are selling
about fifty books for $42.50. These
books may be purchased for less
than one third that amount, besides
they serve no good purposes In The
school. The same may be said ci
4 charts. AT least half Of the schools
have spent in recent years from SIC
to $50 for almost useless charts
Men who have gone about the
country selling these things'do moi
