TiiououuiiijV Tiioii'ED Gene Hall ,
the portly paint artist with proclivities
pugilistic , has finally come to grief and
has been remanded to the county jail for
a reason of sixty days , ( as per sentence
passed upon him , the week preceeding ,
by Squire Colvin , for brutally beating
a fellow craftsman named Whitethere ,
to pensively ponder upon his mistake
that of forcing a fight upon the wrong
man.
_
Some of the boys occasioned consid
erable merriment at the depot , Satur
day afternoon , by turning the hose on
an intoxicated individual who lay sprawl
ed out upon the platform of the station.
In view of the fact that people in
the drunken man's condition have a
natural and strong antipathy to pure
water , it is needless to explain here that
the uproarious merriment was all on the
part of the boys the discomfort and
profanity on the part of the party of the
second part.
From the most remote , primeval per
iod , clown through the ages , to the pres
ent time , wise men have considered it
inexpedient in general to monkey with
a buzz paw and similar uncertainties.
And notwithstanding the apparent fact
that an occasional fool will rush in where
angels fear to tread , will insist upon
measuring "dukes" with men of greater
prowess , will aspire to positions for the
discharge of the duties of which they
are incompetent , the above maxim will ,
throughout the endless cycles of time ,
be considered a wise one by the ordi
nary observer even. Vide Eugene , who
languishes in durance vile. Vide Alonzo
whose days , as a government official ,
you know , seem to be numbered.

Our public schools beli-ng to the peo
ple. They are organized , controlled ,
and maintained by the people. It is the
prerogative of every citizen to insist
that our schools shall be brought to a
higher state of efficiency by securing
only persons of recognized ability from
the ranks of the profession. One of the
best evidences of the intelligence of a
people is the maintenance of a good
school , and this question is uppermost
in the mind of one who has children to
educate , when he contemplates locating
in a community. While all acknowl
edge the importance of education as a
potent factor of civilization , and that
each decade brings forth new and un
tried problems for solution , more ad
vanced methoiis in educational litera
ture , and , consequently , a demand for
teachers who are in line and in sympa
thy with educational progress.yetmany
are apathetic relative to the mean ? to
be enjoyed , from which the highest re
sults may be i-ecured. The teacher
should be thoroughly imbued with an
intense enthusiasm fur his work. To
Eiim is entrusted mind in its plastic and
formative state , and to him must the
succeeding generation look for material
from which to select thoselio shall
mold public sentiment , whether it be in
municipal , state or national affairs.
The teacher must be studious , progress
ive and enthusiastic in his work , and
success is a sure result.
