A matter OF importance came up
in the discussion Of text book mat
ters concerning the system OF pen
which should be taught by
Miss Cosley, the new penmanship
and drawing teacher w. W. Jacoby
moved that the semi-slant system
be taught in all the grades. NJ b.
Dickers9n made an amendment TO
the motion that the vertical be
taught up TO the fifth and the semi.
slant in the remainder. Member
Spaulding further amended the,
amendment asking that the vertical
be taught up to the third grade. The,
latter amendment was lost and it
was decided to have the vertical
taught I'm all of the grades up to
the fifth and semi-s'ant in the re-
mainder of the grades The grade
teachers had shown their preference
to vertical in the primary grades
some time ago and this was consid-
cred by the board
Member Dickerson wanted the
parents Of the children in the schools
to learn how to address an envelope
and make a return card. In the opin-
ion Of the postmaster the return
card upon a letter was most import
ant upon the letter and II was nee
essary that the children be taught
this in the grades and that the par.
ents learn this from them

cided that owing to the heavy ex.
pense no drawing paper viii be pur-

SOME WELCOME DAMPNnss.

James Mahon came over from
the shearing plant Thursday and
reports a heavy rain in that sec
tion the two previous days. He
states that at least an inch and
one-halfof rain fell in that neigh
borhood and about 10 inches Of
snow on the mountain. The
snow has disappeared but the
moisture has done much good 10
the range and materially increas-
ed stock water. This makes
range quite plentiful in the
STEMS Mountain section and in
sures good crops on the farms in
Happy, Anderson and adjacent
territory.
Mr. Mahon states that the
shearing plant was turning of
the heeces at a rate of about 1900
per day and the sheep are being
pushed out 10 the summer range.
The prospects for wool prices 10
advance are rather discouraging

BURNS A CLOSED TOWN.

At a meeting of the city coun-
ell last Thursday evening the
marshal was instructed 10 rigidly
enforce the ordinance against
gambling. II is generally under
stood that the city dads will have
no more half way compliance
with this ordinance and that
heneeforth Burns is TO be a
closed town.
This determined action was
deemed expedient on account Of
local option carrying in adjoin-
ing counties causing the gambling
fraternity TO look for other
fields. The people in this city
do not desire that class and by
closing the town will prevent
their coming here.

THURMAN AND MILLS-By Savoyard

election of that year, postponed demo- cratic tariff legislation nearly 20 years. Randall defeated Morrison tariff bills in the Forty eighth and Forty ninth Con- gresses, of which. Carlisle was speaker, but in the Fiftieth Congress the demo- crats passed through the House of Repre- sentatives the Mills tariff bill over the protest and over the veto of Randall.
 On that measure the democrats went to the country in 1888 and were defeated, the greatest calamity that has come to the democratic party since the split at Charleston, in 1860. Had Grover Cleve- land been reelected in 1888 the tariff otlastion would have been settled on democratic lines and the silver question composed on gold standard lines without a split of the party, such as that of lS96. By a narrow margin Cleveland lost the election, and by a more close vote the republicans gained the Fifty first congress. Reed was speaker and Mckinley chair man of ways and means. The house passed the Lodge force bill to make it illegal for Mississippi to go democratic. To defeat that, German, goldbug, sought alliance with Stewart, the silver crank Then 1t was that the G. O. P. gave us in the Sherman silver law as fine piece or politics as ever was turned out at this capital, but the south was saved and the
