Friends and relatives to the number
OF about twenty-five assisted Mr.. and
Mrs. C. W. Tetwiler in celebrating
their fifteenth wedding anniversary,
Sunday, at their home in the west part
of the city. A bountiful dinner was
enjoyed by those present, after which
the guests spent the afternoon in
pleasant conversation and reminiscent
ces of by-gone days.-PopIdr Bluff Re-
publican.
l seem to have become implicated,
or to have implicated myself, IL the
question Of a new piano for the Aca-
denny OF Music. Very we'll! The old
rattle-trap which gives forth sounds
resembling those stricken from a tin
pan or a half-caste triangle, is always
below pitch and horribly u Of tune.
1t is a travesty upon the name of
music, and in ~decency ought to be re-
tired to innocuous desuetude. l have
always taken considerable pride in
the '.town hall" and have done what |
could toward its support. A new
piano is needed; l hope it is DO crime
to advocate the purchase OF one.
In a conversation with Governor
Dockery on this point, a representative
OF the Times understood him TO hold
to the view that it is necessary for the
Legislature to pass a bill authorizing
a transfer of Of patients from the other
asylums to the Pennington institution
and making an appropriation for that
purpose. There is no money available
now for the purpose aver If the asylum
were ready in all particulars to receive
patients. The Governor was further
understood to say that this would be
one of the first things he would look
after as soon as the Legislature meets
in January, and that he would try to
secure the passage of an emergency
measure by that body without delay.
Hence, it may be about the middle or
latter part of January before Farming.
ton Insane Asylum No. 4. will be for
ally opened for the reception Of
patients -Farmington Times.
In the public schools of Ironton are
275 folks. They are not ours, but
have simply been placed in our care
fresh from the hand of the Creator.
Ours simply to guide, to coach. to en-
courage. They are not ours; they are
Gods. Did you ever think that you
are responsible for the development of
that man in miniatureP Did you
know that you can not wipe your
hands Of himP Did you know that
when the burden falls from your
shoulder onto his, he will receive it with
the strength you have given him? Did
you know that when you walk up to
the Golden Bar you will hear: THAT
boy l gave you-where is hep What
have you done with the charge |
gaveP" Come, now my brother, and
do your whole duty by the boy and by
the body polite. Place your hand
upon the shoulder of the youth and
smilinglv ask him about his work and
what he needs from home. Visit him
in the school, and show him that you
are interested. Mr.. Daugherty looks
like a man who always keeps the latch
string hanging out.
