The Fourth of July exercises were
conducted exclusively by members of
the first class of cadets. Cadet Vain
right presided, and Cadet Humphreys,
son Of Mrs. st. John Gaffney, recited
the Declaration of Independence. The
Grafton by Cadet Robert N. Campbell,
Of Tennessee, was mastery one, in
which the young man demonstrated his
ability as an orator. In comprehen-
sive manner he defined the meaning of
the declaration and eloquently eulogiz-
ed its trainers. He compared the mil
itary post of 1870 years ago to its pres
ent condition, and declared that it was
the greatest institution of military
training in the world. His Grafton was
one of the best ever delivered at West
Point upon a similar occasion. The
U. $. M. A. band discoursed excellent
music, and as a finale the corps of ca
diets joined in singing The Star Spang-
led Banner. AT 70 o'clock a salute Of
45 guns was fired, and in the evening
there was very pretty display of fire,

FIRE AT BUILTLESS.

Last Wednesday night between one
and two o'clock the combination barn
on Builtless estate was discovered on
fire and the flames had gotten under
such Roadway that the building could
not be saved. The thoroughbred live
stock was taken out and the carriage
and mounted harness saved, but sever
al tons of hay, all the grain and farm
ing implements were consumed. The
cause of the fire is unknown but it was
first seen in the hay. Builtless escap.
ed with only a blistered side, not Sc
much on account of the good work done
by the loving neighbors as because the
Lord takes care of his own-we went
out to save the barn and left the Lord {
own, wife and babes, in the house.
The loss was more than 5000. The $40C
insurance was adjusted the afternoon
of the fire and Adjuster Harry Irwin
was very much distressed because he
could not pay more than the face o.
the policy.

these are things any man can have il
he chooses. Even one of those quail

Whit We Need Most in the School.

The schools should be run so as to
get the most good for the greatest
number of pupils, 70 do this we must
consider what is most needed. The
old joke of the three RS, Reading Rit-
ing and Rithmetic, is no Joke in re-
gard to these things being fundamen-
tai. in ones education. This school
needs more thorough work in these
branches and more spelling too. Then
book keeping would be of benefit to
many. OF course the so called higher
branches add to the general culture OF
the pupil and there is no aim too high
for anyone who wishes to become a
thorough student But many who at
tend a graded school drop off about the
seventh or eighth grades and that is
also to be considered in making out
the course of study. There are many
now taking latin, history, etc, who
would be much benefited by more Of
the foundation work. There are pu'
pills who are good spoilers, as it would
seem almost by intuition, and in other
things it is much the same, but in
graded school for all classes the stand
ard must be such as to help those who
have to work hard for all they learn
Elocution and rhetoric can scarcely fai

both of our home papers from the pa
rents in regard to this matter. Give

isolation of this supposed land would
fully account for the long undiscovered
