A SUCCESSFUL INSTITUTE.

The teachers institute held here came
to Il close on Friday. The institute was
Il success in every sense of the word.
The ll2 teachers in attendance mani
tested II laudable interest in the work.
The influence of the county training
school for teachers was observable in
the character of the work done and in
the professional spirit that was in evi
dence ut the gathering of pedagogues
This influence is by no means confined
to those who have taken the course.
Just ~ II successful teachers institute
affords inspiration to those in attend
ance, so the training school exerts II
molding influence upon the teachers in
the rural schools of the county-even
upon those who have not graduated
from the institutions for they realize
that they must bestir themselves in
order to keep abreast of the times in
educational matters and thus be able to
compete with those that have availed
themselves of the advantages Of pro-
tessional school. According to Prof.
Sage there is n movement on foot TO
hold an examination in connection with
every teachers institute in the future.
In closing the work of the institute
Prof. Sage took occasion to compliment
the teachers of this county and to ex
press his appreciation for the co-opera-
ton on the part of the teachers present.
He said in part;
Great progress has been made in
educational affairs of Manitowoc conn
ty during the past year and the interest,
enthusiasm and large attendance of
teachers at the institute this year il in
great contrast with the institute which
was conducted six years ago.

THE VALDERS HORSE CASE.

The notes given by Valders and St.
Naziapz farmers i'll payment of the
horse they purchased from the West
! field Importing company of Indiana
over a year ago have been forwarded to
local attorneys for collection and notice
has been served on the makers that
$1,000 of the $4,000 representing the face
value of the notes is now due.
While the court in the trial at the re-.
cent term rendered judgement in
favor of the Nalders farmers and re-
leased them from obligation to the
Westfield Importing company. the
signers of the notes are nevertheless
legally bound to make payment to the
innocent holder of the paper, the Citi-
zens National Bank of Attica Ind. The
bank purchased the notes from A. p.
Nave the man from whom the West.
field company originally bought the
horse
The notes were given for three differ.
ent periods. $1,000 is due now, a second
thousand dollars will be due in three
months and the balance in six months
The seizure of the horse by Sheriff
Peliett on an execution to satisfy the
Judgment of the court will afford pro-
lection to the signers of the negotiable
paper The horse has been advertised
for sale sept. 10th. If the sale of the
animal should not bring the 1884
necessary to satisfy the Judgment in
full the farmers would have a claim
against the Westfeld company for the
balance.

The Local Grain Market.

While Manitowoc has occasionally
been charged with offering lower prices
for grain than those paid elsewhere in
the county, the claim has invariably
been based on misinformation. Farmers
are well aware of the fact that the grain
market in this city compares favorahly
with that of any other place in this
county.
The report that the grain market at
st. Nazianz is better than that of Man
itowoc is not well founded and is refuted
by the fact that grain buying is an i'm
portant factor in the business life of the
city
