All Cass county seems to rejoice in the prospect now manifested for a year of abundance. The weather has been so favorable that the stand of corn is excel lent, and farmers who had good seed only have to replant corn where it wash ed out. Some of the small grains are already heading, and the first cultivat ing of the corn is well under way. Young fruit exists in abundance. A Kansas exchansre says: "The farmers of' the west complain that they are compelled to fight the chinch bug and grasshopper, by day and the bed bug by night, and the 'big-bug' all the time. They fight hard and get whipped in every battle. The chinch bug and the ?rras9hoDner are takinsr their grain, the i A A m bed-bug is taking the little blood left in their bodies, and the 'big-bugs' are de vouring their lands by the foreclosure of mortgages. They begin te feel like Cain that they want to make an example of some one."

A Traveling Man Creates Great Ex citement in the Empire House- Independence, Iowa, Oct. 14, 1S88. RJieumatic Syiiip Co,, Jackson, Mich: Gents: Your 3Ir. Brooks came here tonight and registered as agent for Hib bard's Rheumatic Syrup, and as he did so it awakened iu me an interest neyer before realized in a guest at my house. You will not wonder at it when I tell you the story. For years I have been greatly afflicted with inflammatory rheu matism, the pain and soreness of the joints at times being almost unbearable; could move about only with the aid of crutches. In addition to this my stomach became badly diseased, and neuralgia set in, which threatened to end my day. - A traveling man stopping with me gave quite a history of your Syrup, and the peculiarities of its combination, which induced me to try it. I have taken six bottles and no act in my life affords mt greater satisfaction than in writing you I am a well man. It will be a pleasure for me to answer any communications, for I believe it to be the best remedy ever formulated. A. S. Bowlet, Pioprietor, Empire House, Independence, Iowa. The West End Talks Fair. Greenwood Gazette: Our readers will peruse tho facts set forth by the Platts mouth board of trade carfully, in this issue. 3Iore than $4,500 has been spent in carrying on elections, for the county seat removal purposes, during the past few years. The Gazette is an independ ent paper and aims to advocate the best interests of the people and it believes this money expending business should be stopped. The commissioners have order ed this election. The people elected the commissioners. There is not nor never will be any chance for the county seat getting any nearer the center of the county than it is. Jf it could be moved w 6hould be heartily in favor of put ting it in the center of the county, but that is o ut of the question, as Plattsmouth has too many votes, therefore we believe it to be for the best interests of our peo ple to yote for the bonds and thus settle the county seat matters forever, but we want every man to vote independently and without bias. Vote for your best interests. ' . 31. B. 3u'rphy &-Co., will, on the 27th of this month put on a bread wagon and will deliver Garneau's Snow Flake Bread.

Sensible Letter from one Interested In Plattsmouth'a School Facill ies- Editor Herald: It is well, I think, that some attention should be paid to the selection of teachers, as well as to the election of a superintendent, for our schools. Previous Boards of Education have gone more or less on the theory that school teachers, like merchandise, should be purchased at the least possible price, and that there is no use paying a primary teacher $ 50 or $00 per month when there are plenty to be had at $35 per month. As a matter of fact a good primary teacher is more to be desired than a superintendent, if he does no more work than the present one has accom plished during the la&t year, and good primary teachers command larger wages in all communities where the importance of their work is appreciated, and I want to add that there is just as much need of thorough, experienced primary teachers in Plattsmouth as any other place, and I see no good reason why we should not secure such teachers, even if they come high. It would be money well spent, and young ladies who devote their entire time and study to maintain a high de gree of excellence in their profession are worthy the encouragement given them in the nature of good salaries, Primary school teaching nowadays is a business or profession by itself and success in which requires training and study not embraced inlligh school courses, and for that reason I do not regard with favor the policy of preceding boards electing High school graduates to positions in our schools. Accomplished and worthy as they are, they are nevertheless lacking in that experience and drill necessary to make them efficient, and. I do not think that a town of the importance of Platts mouth should employ amatuers simply because they can be secured at a less sal than more capable teachers. Speaking only from compliments and criticisms beard upon the streets I am satisfied that there are a number of our teachers who do not deserve much more than they re ceive and some who do not deserve as much. These suggestions are made, not jn the spirit of personal criticism, but only with the desire that our schools shall be placed in capable and worthy hands; in which event the progress of educa tional work in our community will be appreciated by parents and students and reflect credit upon the board, . - v Horatio.
