been compelled to, is getting Il
serious question, and should be
permanently remedied soon. The
water was again shut off yester-

places were without water even

LAY ON MAC0UFFl"

So says Senator Bailey to those
who dare to hold him accounta-
bic for his indiscretions, and so
said Macbeth when Macduff
sought to punish him for the
murder of the peaceful Duncan
and the rape of Scotland.
In his speech before the House
Thursday night this noble Sena-
tor" Christian Democrat, as
he calls himself, was unsparing
in his charity toward those who
dared to differ with him. Gen
tlemanly, indeed. was he to Dem
ocrats who failed to endorse his
holiness. Dogs, liars, hyenas,
rogues, intidels, disgruntled poll
ticians" were among the pet
names he applied OF the LegiS-
lature, he said:

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES.
Contributed by Il. NJ. :.

We regret very much that the
school notes were sent in too late
to be printed last week.
We are now doing our best
work or, as it is commonly eX,
pressed, putting in our hardest
licks," for we must not only
complete our work but review
for the final and deciding test.
We are sorry that so few of
the people of Canyon City at
tended the Institute for it was
enjoyable as we'll as beneficial.
Another such Institute is to be
held on the 4th and 9th of April
and every one is cordially vel
coined.
We would also appreciate a
visit from the parents and those
interested in school work. 1t
stimulates a pupil to a greater
effort besides attording the pa
rent an opportunity of seeing
what the pupil is doing to occa-
sionally pHbHsh some of the best
work.
The following is an essay writ

CANYON CITY.
Canyon City. the county seat
of Randall county, was organized
July -, 1859. 1t is situated be,
tween the Terra Blanco and Palo
Dura creeks in the center of the
county. These creeks. which are
forks of the Red River, Join
about two miles northeast of the
city.
There is beautiful scenery
along these creeks which contain
fine fish. some fish having been
caught which weighed ten
pounds. Almost any time of the
year Rev. ]. d. Ballard and n.
Thompson may be found there
with their fishing rods.
Canyon has two railroads. The
first was built in l~9N; the sec
ond is not yet completed. At
the time the first railroad was
built there was not more than
300 inhabitants. Now there are
ten times as many. Some day
we expect to have u cutoff line
of the Santa Fe railroad from
WaShbuIn.
Canyon has eight brick build
ings and about fifty business
houses.
The public school, which is a
2-story brick building, is situated
in the center of the town. There
are eight teachers employed and
about 32O pupils enrolled.
