The first killing frost of the sea-
son of 20, Oct. 5.
When Foy & Nixon came here to
begin work on the road they gave
out the word that they wanted la
borers. On the morning of the first
day men were on the fence waiting
for them, like chickens before a
shower. The contractors on the
new section gave out word they
wanted hands, but not a man re-
sponded. The men have gone to
town. The Cliftons have the repu-
tations of gentlemen.

Only those at school trough
seem to favor the present law, and
not all of them. In conversing with
teachers who are always sure of be-
ing hired they tell us there never
have been better readers in the
schools than McGuffey's and that
ten minutes the time allotted to
each class in a school with all
eight grades, is not time enough to

son or not.
