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."

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.

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. ' .

OUR SCHOOL TEACHERS.
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.
