time and prominent citizens OF Oska-

the morning, had eaten his break
fast, and was doing some work in
his garden when be became sick at
the stomach. Going back into the
house he told Mrs. Bacon he did not
feel well and lay down on a cot in
his library. She ministered to his
wants and put bottle of hot water
to his feet. He then said he felt
easier and told her not to walk about
so much as she would tire herself
out. She went for the mail and re-
turning told him the news of the
morning. AS he seemed sleepy she
retired to another room to afford him
quiet and rest. A few minutes after
he heard him gasping for breath.
He could not speak when she reach

him and paid the last tribute of their
regards to him Thursday evening by
way of a surprise party. After this
he expressed his hearty appreciation
of their loving kindness and assured
them of his love for them. Prayer

he bade the party adieu.

charge of Wesley Chapel on next
Sunday.

Or all high-handed and impudent
proceedings that this town has heard
of in recent years, we think the action
taken by the town council Monday
night exceeds everything else. By
order of the coterie that seems deter
mined to run our town, committee
was appointed to report what porches
transgressed the so-called legal limit.
A report that selected certain persons
for persecution and ignored others
who were in exactly the same position
was presented, adopted, and notice
served upon the offenders to appear
before the council and make their de-
Tense. Then in the meantime, before
the meeting of council, resolution
was prepared declaring guilty all per-
sons who had been notified about the
porches. At the council meeting
Monday night Attorney ]. S. Dragon
Ter was stating the case of his clients,
when, upon motion Of DR.. Butler, he
was ordered to take his seat. Then
DR.. Butler presented the resolution,
which he announced had been pre-
viously prepared by "our attorney, "
and without discussion or considera-
ton the resolution was adopted de-
claring everybody guilty, even those
who had not been heard. Every
councilman voted for it, we believe,
except Mayor Harrison and Council
man Humrickhouse, who oppose the
whole business. 1t will indeed take
a confding person to accept the state
ment that such a proceeding can be
inspired by a feeling of duty, 1t
looks too much like petty spite and
malice.
Citizens of this town will be justi-
fed in going to any lengths to defend
themselves from such an outrage as
the town council seeks to subject them

OUR esteemed contemporary, the
Charles Town Advocate, last week con-
tanned its usual annual TRADE against
the teachers institute and teachers
examinations. The Advocate has
grumbled against these two features
Of our educational system for a good
many years, and We want now to urge
it to get out of the rut and move with
the procession. We think the teach
ers' institute good thing, and In
stead Of abolishing them, educators
are becoming more and more i'm
pressed with their Importance and u.s.
ing greater effort to make them more
interesting and beneficial. We want
to see them kept up and improved,
and we believe they will be of great
service in elevating our educational
affairs. We believe that the teachers
ought to have some compensation for
attending them, however.
AS to abolishing the teachers ex-
aminations, We think this would be a
step backward that would immediate
ly be reflected in less efficient class
of teachers. The examinations are
not terror to well educated persons,
but to do away with them would be
hailed with delight by scores Of incom-
petent persons who want to FIJI places
as teachers. Our present system may
have some faults, but it will not be
improved by doing away with insti-
tutes or lessening the Importance of
examinations.
