intensely practical and progressive. His address was splendid and great ly enjoyed.
 How to cure puppy love in school was discussed by c. B. Justice and others. This complaint seemed to be pretty general in the schools of the county, and some heroic reme dies were suggested Teachers all agree that when love gets in girls head, it crowds out everything else, and the boy afflicted with puppy love is almost as sorry pupil as the girl. Children waste half their time in this silly affection and par ents do not cooperate with teachers in their efforts to suppress the evil. Some even aid and abet their children in their folly.
 Attendance and tardiness were the subjects of the most interesting discussion during the evening. Ora Walker led on the topic, giving some fine methods for reducing the evils of late and irregular attend ance. A number of teachers spoke on these subjects and it is agreed that tardiness and poor attendance upon school are the bane of the ru- ral school. Parents do not regard the education of their children ser ious enough; and hamper the school and perr. it their children to lose the valuable lessons of pune tuality in life by letting them be irregular in their attendance upon school.
 A misunderstanding among the teachers as to the time of meeting of the association, caused many 10 miss Saturdays session of the as sociation. The county association is on the second Saturday in March, June, September and December. The district meeting at Para gould is on the afternoon of the first Saturday in each month. The next meeting of the district association will come on Saturday, Nov. 6. Let no one plead confusion of dates as an eX- cuse for absence from the meeting on the first Saturday in next month.
 The most tardy and truant pupil in the county goes to school more regularly than some teachers at tend their meetings He would be regarded as a dull lawyer who for gets when court meets.
 Miss Ruth Hall spoke on the sub ject of home study of pupils. She said all pupils above the 4th grade should do a great deal of study at home. A room should be set aside as a study for children in every home, and conditions made as favor able to study as possible. Miss Ruth is a firm believer in getting up lessons at home and she put more thought into her discussion than most speakers.

for chance to make fortune with
no money to start on. The town at
that time was not so inviting as the
country around it was, but everyone
whom | met wanted me to start
paper and encouraged me in every
way. 1t was not the first trial that
had been made, but the others had,
for one reason or another, been un-
successful. In other words the town
was sort of newspaper graveyard,
and while such reputation general
ly gives a printer cold feet when
looking for location, | confess it
had no terrors for me. | had al
ready started several newspapers in
such places and made them 20, and

was part of an old plant there
which John Brennan had been in
veigled into putting three hundred
or more dollars into, and as he stood
no chance of ever getting any por-
tion of his money out oft, unless he
could get some one to agree to
pay that much some time for it, he
gave me a show. John had very
little confidence that | would ever
be able TO pay a 5000 claim on the
material, but he wanted the town TO
have q paper, SO he took the chance.

TWO new BUSINESS
BLOCKS TO Be BUILT

This year will see the erection Of
at least two new business blocks on
Main street, beside the erection Of
an implement house on Depot street
by the Farmers Society of Equity.
The blocks referred TO are TO be
erected by L. b. Leverich and J. N.
Downing, and when completed there
will be solid row Of modern build
ings on the north side Of Main, be-
tween Ninth and Tenth streets.
Last week Mr.. Leverich awarded
the contract for the erection Of his
block TO H. r. Shepherd & Son Of
Paris. 1t will join the Cruikshank
block on the east and will have
frontage of 40 feet on Main street.
with depth Of 1870 feet. 1t ID to
be two stories with full basement
and will be modern In every partic-
ular. Work Ii to commence on the
building by the 10th April and 1t Ii
to be completed by the first Of next
September. II will be occupied by
Burrell & Thiel with their stock Of
hardware, farming implements. etc.
While he has not yet let the con-
tract for his building, Mr.. Downing
has the plans drawn and will prob
ably be able TO begin work on 1t by
the time construction is started on
the Leverich block. The erection
Of this addition to the hotel. which
will have a frontage of b8 feet on
Main street. will neceasitate the re-
movaI Of the old frame building, Iii
which Mr.. Downing began the hotel
business some Is years ago. It
will be removed to the Mark Whit
man residence site, which Mr..
Downing recently purchased from
DR.. Poynter. The old Whitman
residence will be moved to the east
side of the lot on which II now
stands, and the frame part of the
hotel will occupy the corner Of the
lot. It will be remodeled and fitted
Iup al an apartment house.
The addition TO the hotel will be
three stories. There will be two
store rooms on the ground floor,
while the second and third floors
will be used for sleeping rooms IL
on each floor, which will make q
total Of so rooms in the hotel.
The erection Of this addition will
mean a general remodeling Of The
present hotel Office and cafe, alonR
more modern lines.

greatly to the appearance Of Mair
