Doing Good Work at Seymour

The Seymour Democrat of last
week has the following notice of the
manual training work done in the
Seymour schools, of which Prof p.
w. Mitchell, formerly of Pleasanton,
has charge, and it shows that he is
making good in his new profession
of manual training instructor:
The manual training department
of the Seymour High School entered
fourteen pieces of furniture in the
Wayne County Fair and took first
prize on every piece. The fact that
this department was started for the
first time, last year and that it out
classes any otners department in
Wayne county certainly speaks we'll
for the type of work it turns out.
There were 1913 pieces of furniture
made there last year, every one Of
which would do credit to any High
School in the state of Iowa. Seymour
is to be congratulated on having Sc
cured Mr. Mitchell for that work.
His long experience as a carpenter
and his training at Ames gives him
an equipment that is excelled by few
persons in the state. This is a big
boom for our schools and the people
of Seymour appreciate it.

A gentleman Of a very excitable and
emotional nature had the misfortune
to lose his third wife. He took the
affection very much to heart and at
the grave was so overcome that he
fninted. His friends gathered around
him and were fearful for his life.
Among them was German who spoke
English brokeply. He stopped down
and felt the gentleman's pulse and
looking up said: Hes all right; he'll
re-wive."-The Christian Herald,

Grave sDefect In Military System.

During our Mexican war under Gen.
Winfield Scott 100000 troops were en-
ployed, and only $4,000 Of this numbei
were Of the militia. Scott was muc
handicapped, however, by the custom
Of short enlistments, and the total alb.
scnce Of system pertaining thereto.
Tho commander learned on reaching
Pueblo that seven Of his eleven regi-
ments had decided to terminate their
services at the end of the year, o
problem that was only solved by the
lack Of vitality Of the Mexican forces.

Work has been begun on the new
bridge that is to be constructed over
Booths Creek by the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad company. The new
structure will cross the creek at its
mouth, few hundred feet above the
Monongah railroad station. The pres
ent structure was built a few years
ago. During the past few months the
much larger engines used on this d.
vision have added to the necessity OF
the larger bridge. Grading is now be-

rive. Part OF the steel with the
screws. bolts and other minor parts
were unloadeu yesterday. w. II.
