Just a Little Lonely

Oh. how the fields stretch before me
And the waves foam up on the
shore;
The birds and blossoms around me-
Can it be! | am home once more?
At home again; sure, it is true. -,
And every thing peaceful around,
The faces | meet are smiling;
And no mountains near to frCwn,
Every thing level or rolling;
And broad stretch OF blue,
right in sight.
| wonder, il | am dreaming,
Or, after all. am | right?
How grand that God made us con-

And know when they'r think

Salary of Teachers

The salary which will be paid
public school teachers in Highland
will be something near the figure
paid by surrounding counties and
will no doubt be the means OF
keeping all our teachers at home.
Better wages demands better SER
vice. and that will come of its own
accord, for just as soon as there Is
money Oh in the profession OF
teaching to justify it, more OF the
young people will make choice OF
it for their life work, and will take
advantage of normals and other
means of preparation to fit them
for the high calling, and those VINO
are already teaching will expend
more time and money in more
thoroughly equiping themselves.
The price paid teachers hereto
fore in Highland county was SC
small, the wonder is that any one
turned to it as a livelihood and
that they fitted themselves for the
work as well as they did.
Now, the incentive will be great
err. and the standard of Highland
teachers and Highland schools may
be expected to rise proportionately

House Cleaning

The sweetest woman in the world
BECOMES terror when
The season comes which tries the
soul of all home loving men;
When soap and wet and slop and
steam and dire confusion reign.
And to the god of cleanliness she
dedicates her brain
IT'S then man feels that marriage
may a direful failure b.,
And in his secret soul perhaps he
wishes he were free.
All your old coats and easy shoes,
and hats that fit your head,
The magazine you've just looked
through. and circulars unread,
She sells for Junk" and when you
ask, with mild and penslve air,
Where they have gone, she looks at
you-and echo answers "where"
Andthough you should get mad and
swear,it wouldn't changeher plan
She won't have such old rubbish
round! Just like shiftlessman!'
And then she pins her gown up
front; determined in her men.
Which says that though the Heav.
ems do fall she shall 60 Oh and
clean!
Cold rooms. cold dinners, chilly bed
cold sofas, ice cold chairs!
A smell of varnish every where
tacks on the slippery stairs!
Wet rugs waylay YOU at each turn,
cold winds run riot through
The empty halls-she's airing off
Der nose CONCEALED and blue!
She skins her knuckles, tears her
nails, her head and body ache,
But she is happy for she knowns her
house would take the cake!'
No nook or corner has escaped, stern
order settles DER
That domici)e from attic down to
clean-swept cellar floor!
And though the woman's almost
dead. her forehead is serene,
Because she knows. let come what
may, that house Of hers in clean
Exchange.

The PendletOn Primary

The democratic primary Tor
county officers of Pendleton coun-
ty was held last week, and as faml'
ly fights always prove 10 be of the
yerv worst sort, this was no eXcep-
ton to the rule.
The chief interest centered III the
race for states attorney, the pres
ent incumbent, H NJ Calhoun be-
ing opposed by VIM Mccoy. Call
houn was successful, his majority
over Mccoy being $50.
At the regular election this fall
Mr. Calhoun will be opposed by
NJ S Hodges, young republican
attorney who has been located at
Franklin for couple of years. lie
is native of Mineral county and
promising lawyer.
The contest for office of sheriff
the best paying one i'll the county
was between Okey Many and ia
cob Mitchell, the former winning
by 200.
In Franklin district } L Harold
was elected commissioner over Roy
Campbell and Others, by a small
majority.
The total vote of the primary in
the whole county was ll30.
Whiskey was used freely and the
sentiment for and against it and
other accompanying corrupt meth
DDS, was the leading issue in the
tight, the result showing, so far as
we have been aole to ascertain
that Pendleton county is not quite
ready for clean elections.

In School

There are many children in
school, who need glasses but not
wearing them. There is no time IN Ire
when the eyes ought to receive such
careful attention as through school years.
The muscles are not fully develop
ed gradual changes are taxing
place in the eye-ball, and the work is
close and combining. If there Is ten
dency to defective vision, it can be check
cd better at this time than any other
Wearing glasses constantly in after lie
may be avoided. II the child seems to
have difficulty in seeing the characters
upon the blackboard, or if he holds his
book too close or too far away, there Is
a defect. If seems to be an effort Tor
him to study; if he has headache great
deal; if he is drowsy CT listless; If his
ewes are infiamed or irritated, he needs
glasses. The sooner the eyes have at.
tention the better it will be for him all
tGrough life. See me about it.
