Rules For Correspondents.

Here are ten rules for country
correspondents. Cut them out
and keep them. Then try to
make your next letter to the
Courier conform with all the
rules:
l. Do not abbreviate. Dc
not write Mr.. & Mrs, but Mr..
and Mrs. Not Mon. or Sat. but
Monday or Saturday.
2. Leave space between items
for correction or additions.
3. Give both initials. Write
C. H. Brown instead Of Mr..
Brown or Mr.. C. Brown.
A. Write important subjects
fully. Do not dismiss the death
of a well known pioneer in half a
dozen words, but write some
thing of interest concerning him.
If suicide or murder give all the
details you can get.
5. Have verbs agree with sub
jects. Don't say Mr.. and Mrs.
B. was, but Mr.. and Mrs. B.
were. Mr.. and Mrs. B. may be
one scripturally, but they are
two dramatically.
6. Don't use nicknames. Use
James Brown instead of Jim
Grown, Edward instead of Ed,
7. Give the time in an item.
Mr.. Jones was in Lexington, the
house burned down, are incom-
plete. Tell when things hap
pened.
8. Divide words correctly.
Don't divide such words as
enough, enough.
9. Don't send articles reflect
ing upon the character of indi-
viduals or firms. The newspa-
per is not looking for libel suits;
neither does it care to right your
personal wrongs.
10. Write your name and town
at top of page. Last but most
important rule Of all. 1t is most
essential that the newspaper
know from whom the news is re-
ceived and from what place.
Important suggestion, though
not a rule: Carefully look over
your news after it is published
and note what changes had to be
made.
EM- Telephone really import
tant news at once.

glory Of humanity, the sanctuary
Of all virtues, the pledge Of all
perfect qualities of heart and
head. 1t is because women are
so much better than men that
their faults are considered greater
The one thing in this world that
is constant, the only peak that
rises above the clouds, the one
window in which the light burns
forever, the one star that dark
ness cannot quench, is woman's
love. 1t rises to the greatest
heights, it sinks to the lowest
depths, it forgives the most cruel
injuries. A woman's love is the
perfume of the earth. This is
the real love that subdues the
earth; the love that has wrought
all miracles of art; that gives us
music all the way from the cradle
song to the grand closing SYM
phony that bears the soul away
on wings of fire. A love that is
greater than power, sweetel
than life and stronger than death

Keatucky's Joker Laws.

1t someone should compile 2
digest Of the Kentucky laws made
valueless made to order to be

have at once an interesting eX-
hibit of the chicanery that goes
on at Frankfort and the basis of
legislative reform that could be
inaugurated with ease and COM
pleted with expedition by any
Legislature with a fair amount Of
brains and an inclination toward
honesty.
Judge Carroll, Of the Appellate
Court, calls attention to the in
effectiveness of the existing law
touching vote selling. The ne
cessity for strong corroborative
evidence" devitalizes the law.
In vote selling cases, as in other
violations of the law, sufficient
evidence should be sufficient, and
the jury, under the supervision
and direction of the court, should
determine the question of its
suficiency. There is no greater
reason for demanding strong
corroborative evidence" in adj
dition to other evidence, in q
vote selling case than in one Of
assault and battery, horse steal
ing or grand larceny. The joker
was in all probability, slipped ir
by persons who knew exactly
what they wanted. s

for buncoing the farmer and Their

SCHOOL NOTES,
~ E, V. WILLIAMS.

School is drawing near a close
and the commencement season
is at hand, which we trust will
surpass all previous ones. The
teachers are very much interested
in the education of your boys and
girls, | feel sure each has tried
to do his or her duty and we feel
safe to say this month brings the
close of another successful school
year for West Liberty.
| wish to say to the trustees of
the rural districts of this county,
that have earnestly tried to in
culcate upon the minds Of the
students Of the Normal Depart
ment such things as would be an
inspiration to the rural communi-
ty.
Are you, as trustees Of rura
schools, intending to take the
teacher who can afford to work
at a less salary or are you going
to be like the wise farmer who
selects his seed-corn from the
best part Of the field which has
the same soil, in elements and
texture as the ground.to be plant
ed. You should gather facts
from the work actually done in
school and community and see if
he or she is adequate for the task
You should know he or she is
temperate in all habits, is morally,
physically, and mentally strong.
Be willing to pay a reasonable
salary and lengthen your school
term if possible.
May God help to arouse the
rural communities to an ambition
for better schools, giving theil
children an equal chance with thu
children of the city. You hav,
the brains and muscles and nee,
only to put forth an educations
energy to raise the standard o
rural life. For your leader 20
need a teacher who keeps abreas
of educational progress.
We have a class Of young me
and women in our Normal Dc
partment who have not been pre-
pairing for examination only; bU
have been giving time and stud
to Methods, Pedagogy and Scho(
Economy. Many have taken ad
vantage of this and | am anXiou
to know of them havinga chanc
to put these things into use thi
year.
Before | close l must say Yves
Liberty should appreciate an,
feel proud of the work which ha
been done in the Grades an
High School Departments. The
are now putting on the finishin
touches, interest is at a hig
pitch and we cordially ask you
show yourappreciation by atten,
ing all the commencement exc
cises.
We feel thankful to the tow
of West Liberty for the kindne,
shown us while we have been
your midst and trust you W
continue to prosper financial
