Your committee thinks that the S100, for
attending prisoner before the court, two
times, would be proper for the commission
ers to allow, but we find that the same had
already been allowed, under the head of
boarding prisoners in county Jail, on Page
and is included in the allowance OF Si032. S5
shown there. ''lS ~--
On Page No SO. under the head OF Sheep
Claims, we find an item of $3.50 allowed
Adam Schaal, for sheep killed by dogs,
witnesses, and had not first been passed up
on by the Township Trustees as required by
law.
On Page No. so, we find that w. p. DeHaven
was paid the sum OF $3.50 for serving sub
poenas in the case OF the State VS. James
Dean, indicted for burglary and larceny,
which was unauthorized, as the State failed
to convict Dean, and that claim is covered
by Section No. 1881, above set out.
Aside from the matters pointed out, we
find that the Commissioners have been very
careful in their consideration OF and allow
auce OF the various bills coming before
them, and that they have in most instances,
followed the strict letter of the law.
We wish to tender our kindest regards to
the county officials for their kindness shown
us during the examination, and for the
prompt manner in which they furnished in
formation when called on by the committee.

cover Niagara Falls" is Mr..
Joseph LIE Brandt's latest melo-
dramatic success. The play is in
four acts and is melodrama of
exceptional merit.
The fact that human being
can go over the Falls and still ex-
ist was proven by Miss annie
Edison Taylor, who performed this
remarkable feat on Oct. "a, 1901.
Her trip was made in a barrel
which was specially designed.
This barrel has been purchased by

The crowd stayed away Sunday,
probably not having recovered
from their disgust at the game a
week before; and, as might have
been expected, one of the most in
teresting games of the season came
off. Jacksonville had very fair
lineup, and was hopeful; Logan
had just their own regular team,
and that fact seemed to give them
vim and ability that no amount of
hired talent could confer.
Livingston, 10 the box for Log
an, pitched an excellent game,
having twelve strike-outs. The
support he got was almost uni
formly good. Dill, especially, in
center, played sensational ball,
and it might even be said that he
saved the game for Logan, as sew
eral of the balls he got were ap-
parently hits. His great catch
was in the third inning; Town
send sent twister to right center,
about forty feet back of the base
line, hit by hundred to-one
shot; Dill, who goes after the ball
under all circumstances, was the
only man who seemed to have any
chance of reaching it, but nobody
dreamed of his getting it. His
momentum carried him clear to
the foul line, when he stopped he
had the ball in his mitt, having
got it by a seemingly impossible
effort, and in one hand, at that.
1t was .unquestionably the most
phenomenal catch ever made on
these grounds. If Dill can keep
himself in the form in which he
played during this game, he is a

"over Niagara Falls"

OF Rowland and Clifford's big
production, "Over Niagara Falls,
the Atlanta Constitution" has to
say: "Over Niagara Falls" will
establish record which means a
great deal, for the Bijou has never
had better melodrama than the
scenic production that is pleasing
80 well this week. Aside from the
plot of the piece, which is, by the
way, one of considerable interest,
the scenic exhibition is superb.
The handsomest scenery that has
been seen here is ueed, and the eff
fects are marvellous in realism.
Take for instance, the scenic re-
production of Niagara Falls.
Those who have experienced the
feeling Of witnessing the great
waters, will tell their friends that
the illusion is we'll nigh perfect.
The lights and the sounds ac-
companying the effect add much
to the realism, and the scene has
won from ten to twenty curtain
'S3alls at every performance. The
Y lmpany is exceedingly clever and
vi balanced. "Over Niagara

Obituary.

Austin, the second son of Mr..
and Mrs. Charley Green was born
September IL, 1900 and departed
this life Oct. 10, 1905, aged yrs.
20 days. Little Austin was of a
sunny disposition, although he
was cripple all his life; he al
ways seemed light-hearted and
cheerful and bore his suffering
with much patience. He would
always kneel at his bedside and
say his prayers before retiring,
until the last few evenings he
seemed so fatigued after his days
play, he asked his mamma if he
might say his prayers in bed.
Little Austin is gone; his spirit
has taken its fight to God who
gave it. Our home is dark, our
hearts are sad, our eyes are
dimmed with tears. His little
brothers are lonely, his little
playthings are laid away; and
while the storm clouds may sweep
across the sky and troubles may
come and 60, little Austin knows
it not; he sleeps on.
There's a pair of little hands.
Laid to rest forevermore;
And two dimpled peariy cheeks,
Whose rich blossoming is o'er.
Austin has crossed the chilly stream,
Which we must all pass through
To reach that land, where waters CLEAN,
Where heavenly mansions rise TO view,
He has reached the olden shore,
Where tears will never dim the eye;
Where sad partings will be o'er
And friends will never say goodbye.
Beyond the Jordnn's swelling flood,
Beyond oil care and grief and pain,
In the home prepared OF God,
Little Austin lives again.
There is place, where he knelt down
To say his evening prayer;
There are the things his fingers touched
And there's a vacant chair.
Twas hard to lay little Austin away,
When his life had Just begun;
But all that we can1io or say
Is, 20 Lord, thy will be DONE"
Funeral services were conducted
by Rev. w. H. Whetmer, Hayden

Report
To the HON. GEO. E. MARTIN,
Judge of.the Court of Common
Pleas, Hooking County, Ohio.

Your Committee appointed to examine
the Report of the Financial Transactions of
the County aba 81
third Monday of September. 1905, beg leave
to report as follows:
We have carefully examined said Report,
together with the bills allowed, and the rec
ords referred to therein, and find that said
Report has been made in strict compliance
to the instructions issued by the Bureau OF
inspection and Supervision OF Public Om-
GERS, sent out by the Auditor OF state; that
said report is neatly typewriter, nicely ar
ranged, and that the footings therein are
correct. but we do not think said report
vised Statutes OF Ohio, as IL does not in all
instances show for what purpose" the
money was paid.
On Page OF said report, under the head
of Bridges and Cuiverts, we ind an item of
$500 allowed to Warner Lehman tor making
cattle-pass in Green Township, and on Page
33, under the head OF Roads, we tind an item
cattle-pass under Fetherolf road. We find
no law authorizing the allowance OF either
OF said bills.
Section 4740, Revised Statutes, provides:
ANY landowner through whose lands
may hereafter be laid out aud established,
is authorized, under the direction OF the
Supervisor OF the properi district, to CON

better and more intelligently done.
You are not to try to show a Pupil
how to plow, but you can teach him
from the text what is to be accom-
plished by plowing, and then the pu-
pill will, knowing this, do his plow-
ing better, for he knows thereafter
the laws of tillage. You are not
expected to have him wash and sun
his milk pans, but if you let him un-
derstand how dirt harbors germs
and how these spoil his milk. he will
thereafter pay more attention to his
milk cans and hence have less sour
milk.
You cannot have an orchard and
show him how to prune, and spray
his fruit, but you can easily follow
the text and teach him why these
improve his fruit, and he will then
find ways to do them when he has
an orchard of his own. You can
take the pictures in the book and
teach pupils the common insect
pests, and tell them how to destroy
them, and the common sense of your
pupils will lead them to do this. You
have no dairy in which to teach but
ter-making, but you can easily have
pupils learn that paying customers
want a granular, neatly-packed
package of butter, and when they
open a dairy they will make this
sort of butter.
In short, teaching of the simple
truths that lie at the door of sue
cessful farming is all that is expect
ed and required of you, and these
you can readily get from study of
your text.
Teachers know that it is not the
body of facts required that makes
the successful man or woman. It
is the facility given by study, the
power of thought. the turning of
fresh minds to primary truths, the
bent in the right direction, that gives
the pupil a grasp that leads to able
doing.

Money in Grain Crops.
advertisement

The fact that the North Carolina
farmers are in better financial condi-
tion this year than heretofore is most
encouraging. No where are the wheels
of industry more diligently engaged
than on the farm. Every hour is full
of pleasant labor. The bug-a-bear
"farm drudgery" is relegated to the
dim past, and the farmers to-day are
as wideawake and live to every inter-
est as the most astute banker or cap
tain of industry. 1t is a grand
thought and worthy of serious con-
temptation that the prosperity of the
farmers means the prosperity of the
entire country. Indicative of this
fact, take the conditions which exist
ed a few years ago, when the price
of tobacco fell below the cost of pro-
duction, and last year the price of
cotton did likewise. There was a
gloom over the entire State. The
bankers said, money was mighty
tight" the merchant said, "Times
were powerful hard" the manufac-
turers had less demand for their
product, and all along the line busi-
ness was depressed.
To-day tobacco and cotton are
bringing good prices. Poultry and
eggs are renumerative. All the farm
products bring in good revenue. The
bankers. merchants, and manufac-
turers have broad smile on their
faces. Why? Because "times are
good" The farmers have reared
abundant harvests and are willing
and ready to invest in additional sup
plies as we'll as luxuries for the home.
New and modern machinery is being

Lecturer Gates in Cabarrus County.

Messrs. Editors: On account of
the extreme illness of my father
(and he is still no better), have not
been able to give your readers a re-
port of my trip to Cabarrus as I
promised, but know they will excuse
me for SO great a reason as this.
But suffice it to say, we had a great
time up there in old Cabarrus Coun-
ty. This is a good county, equal to
the best; chockfull of good people.
We were invited up there August
% to the farmers annual picnic,
and no one who loves a good time and
had ever been there could refuse such
an invitation-andI / had been there
once.

of the best bands in the State.

was introduced to this great crowd,
and he made a fine speech on Edu-

mixing up and friend meeting friend.
etc., until about 2 o'clock the crowd
was called together again and Col.
Cunningham was introduced, and he,
in his usual forceful manner, occu-
pied this hour. Then the State Lee
turer Gates was brought forward,
and if the rain had not came on so
soon we might have had some fun; !;
but after all this was a great day for
Cabarrus County people. Farmers,
town folks, and every one enjoyed
the day immensely.
After this we spent two weeks in
Cabarrus in the interest of the Far
mers' Alliance, and the result was
eight Sub-Alliances and the county
alive to the notion that the farmers
ought to organize and stand together,
for all that goes to make men better
and broader.
I am expecting Bro. T. B. Par
ker to go to Concord some time in
October and organize the County AL
lance, of which good notice will be
given.
I want to lift my hat and make
my best bow to the people of Cabar-
rus County for the many kindnesses
shown me while there, and especial
ly do | thank the ladies of the many
good homes l visited for their kind
ness. And l shall never forget the
