"THE VALUE OF A GOOD EDUCATION"
Education is one of the essential parts
of our life. Before the white people
came to this country the Indians had
little or no education. There were few
in the south that were civilized, they
believed in good and bad spirits. But
most of them are now educated more or
less. If it were not for our education
we could neither read or write. How
could we communicate with our friends
that live at a distance. We could not un-
derstand our minister's sermons, we
could not understand our laws, we
would have no statesmen and our happi-
ness would be but little better than the
animals. We would care for nothing but
eating and something to drink. If it
were not for education we would of had
no great inventions, such as the steam
boat, cotton-gin, telegraph and rail
roads. We can not tell all the value OF
a good education for it is beyond every
thing else.
Without education things would not
progress as they now do. There are
large schools and colleges all over the
world. There is more money spent fol
educational purposes than for any othel
one thing. In the northern part O
North America it is so very cold tina
there are but few schools, and tn,
people have but little education. Their,
are great many colleges in the United
States with hundred of scholars in at
tendance. The people are getting mor'
and greater education each day.

To THE GENTLEMEN OF LEISURE,

of Leon, Iowa.
This is an appeal to the gentlemen of
leisure, usually found on the west side
of the Main street of Leon, looking
after their extensive interests, and
keeping tab on the ladies as they pass
by. l am not personally acquainted
with many Of you, and must use this
more general form of address, so please
excuse my indirectness, though you
should consider the request as carefully
as possibly.
My extended absences from Leon
necessarily leaves my family without a
masculine escort when out shopping or
on other calls in the city. | would
therefore respectfully ask that wher
you see one of the ladies of my family
on the street at any time you be not
alarmed for their safety, but allow then
to pass on about their affairs without
halting them on the street to learn o.
their intentions or destination. have
great confidence in their ability to take
care of themselves, and by thus allow.
ing them to pass on unchallenged yol
will relieve yourselves of all RESPONSE
bility in the matter, and at the SAM
time prevent your sympathies from
being wasted on the desert air.
Should you consider it necessary tt
look after the families of men living il
Leon, all right, but kindly let min'
alone.
Yours very respectfully,
w, f, GHORMLEY.
