Montgomery city is growing,
there is no question about 1t. A

a house for rent desirable or other

en- or more houses tbSrI they have

Three car loads OF household
goods arrived here Monday be-
longing to new comcrs into Mont
gomery county. While many
farms have changed hands in
Montgomery county in the past
six months, we believe tho tide
OF emigration into this county has
not yet reached what II will bc In
the near future. Land all over
Illinois and many counties In
northern Missouri sells for double
the price of land here, while there
Is not near the difference In
the value Of the land. Farm
crs who own high priced land
In other sections are finding out
they can come to Montgomery
county and get many more acres
Of good land for the same money.
So 1t will not be long until the
land in Montgomery county will
be worth a third more.

School Closes at Meadow Lark.

A most interesting program was
rendered ut the closing exercises
OF Meadow Lark School Feb. 20,
1908. A bountiful dinner was
served by the ladies Of the district
which was enjoyed by all. Quite
n crowd was present, several from
adjoining districts. We hardly
know how TO express our apprccia-
tion OF some Of the pieces that
were spoken by the pupils 1t
certainly bespeaks volums for our
teacher, Mr.. Edward Harrcll,
whose power to instruct and train
youthful minds stands without
doubt. The two patriotic orations
delivered by Frank Roth and Obbie
Aylor respectively, were simply
grand for boys Of their age and
opportunities. The patrons were
so well pleased with the work done
here that the board earnestly re-
quested Mr.. Harrcll to teach the
school again next winter. Now
in conclusion we would say, let
us stand together for our school,
first, last and all the time. Let US
encourage both teacher and pupils
in every way we can, for we know
by history and experience that
education tends toward elevation.

THETRAN6CRIPT was not alone
last week in calling attention to
the vicious legislation attempted
by the General Assembly to put
upon the taxpayers the expence
of maintaining private property
and of renewing mill dams,
which the carelessness of owners
have permitted to elbow out. .
Practicallyevery reputablenews-
paper of the State has condemn
ed the proposition and joined
with us in asking the Governor
to veto the measure. With all
this publicity only one voice has
been raisad in its support, and
that a very weak and doddering
one. A letter was printed in the
EUery Evening signed Taxpayer,
and dated New Castle County Ia
very definite address, which bore
all the earmarks and should have
been signed, "mill owner whose
dam is waiting to be rebuilt. In
this effusion the writer pleads
the poverty of the mill owner as
about the only reason why the
public should rebuild his dam.
Poversy is a good excuse for not
indulging in Injuries and for de-
priving ones self of many things.
But many men, unfortunately
are poor. A great majority of
these grimly, bravely and heart
lily meet the situation as it is,
and work the harder to support
themselves and family. How
much nobler and better is this
spirit as shown by thousands of
men and women in this state than
that of the man who owns (either
free of lien or possibly subject
to a mortgage)a valuable piece of
property and when by his negli-
gence or carelessness it has been
damaged, goes crying to the Leg
islature and in the hurry of the
last few hours secures an order
on the taxpayer, ninety per cent,
of whom are poorer than himself,
that they shall repair the dam
age.
A mill dam properly construct
ed and maintained cannot be
washed away. If the dam be |
built wide enough and h ig b |
enough, if the gates are large
enough, and most important, if |
the owner is watchful against
5he inroads of muskrat and other |
animals, and is careful to repair
minor damages promptly and
will, and in time of storm attends
% the proper care of the surplus
water, there will be no damaged
lams. To say that the public
shall pay for the owners lack of
attention or imprudent building
# his property is monstrous.
There is no other industry that
SKIS this public aid, and this one
will, we hope, be disappointedin in
is expectations by the wise use
f the gubernational ak.

House to allow divorces in cases
where the husband or wife has aban-
doned the other before the first Of

years. It is to be hoped that no

his paper, the Pittsboro Record, Sen
ator London, of Chatham, says
There are two Senators who have

strange that such men should be

The Omnibus public building bill,
reported inthe House of Congress
Saturday, contains some items af-
fccting the Old North State. The
appropriation for the Elizabeth City
