Tom Whltmor delivered his whole drove of
hogs in McCoulc , Sututduv.
The county superintendent visited the school
in district No. 05. lust week.
Dob Moore wns in McCook , Saturday , with
time everlasting jug. He wus out of oil.
The party that took the puullfi'Jumping rope
from the school housois known uud should re
turn it before ho is named.
It is folly to undertake to turn the world's
down sido up with one team. Whenever more
Is undei taken than cuti be done well , there is
loossuiiio wheic.
Sloro corn can be grown on 40 acres proper
ty planted uud tilled , than 125 acres properly
plumed mid not tilled. Forty ueies of corn la
enough lor one team.
Tom Murphy has a sow that has dropped
twenty-six pigs within a year. Who bios this
is not a progressively productive country ? At
that rate Tom will soon have u herd of hogs.
An out building was removed from tho
school house in district No. 58 more than a
I ear ujro , and bus not been returned , uml for
mat time jjreut inconvenience has been pa
tiently undquietly endured. During this time
nearly eight mouths school have been taught ,
and it is high time it is returned or replaced
Tt was paid lor , and is tho pioperty of the dis
trict , and if nut returned soon , the matter will
be looked after. When u teacher is employed
to instruct our youth , every convenience
should be supplied to secure comfort uud rapid
advancement. Let the school loom and sur
foundings be us much like home us possible
If tho teacher is encouraged by providing con
veniences both iu and out doors , they will
cheerfully lnbor lor the rapid advancement of
their pupils. Teachers , as a rule , arc pie.iscd
to have the patents visit the school , and when
a teacher is opposed to patents visiting the
school , that teacher is a fit subject for dismiss
al. Many parents never think of visiting the
school , uud whole terms pusses by with no visit
lrom the director even. There is entiiely too
much dithdeucc6huwii by parents in this mat
ter. What would be thought if a farmer should
employ a hand and suy to him , "John , the
hordes and harness are in the barn , small grain
in tho bin , corn in the crib , hay in the mow ,
uud tools iu the shed , and thete is the furm ,
> \ork it ! " And the larmergoesto town. John
may be a No. 1 tanner , bur he would very liko-
ly itppiL'cinie tho piesenec of the 'old buss"
occasionally , and some checting words , as
' \ \ lo John jiou are doing excellent work and
it is ( tone thoroughly uud well , and a large
amount ot it. " Tho school teacher posset-bes
an average amount ot humanity , according to
size , as other mortals. Now w hy not show our
appreciation of their labors by frequent visits
to the school room. We show our interest in
our fauns , horses , cattle , hogs , etc , by our
iltuli pteseiice. but that which is of Infinitely
mote value , the education ot our children , wu
aie to apt to r.ito as a hecondary matter. TI10
teacher has much to contend with , and needs
our encouragement. A mother said , "Little
Mary is always getting into some uiisehiel.
She 's the plague of my life. Thete is no get
ting along with her. I'll send lier to bdiool to
get rid ot her. " Not thinking that the teacher
has six little , and twice the number of larger
ones , with so manj different temperametits.to
manage , and then wonder that the teacher on
coming home at evening , worn out with the
labots of the day , is not sweet as honey. Let
encouragement be given to the teachers at
every opportunity. GttANGUtt.
Croup is a terror to ioung mothers , especi
ally during the winter months as it is then
most prevalent. It can nluirys be prevented ,
if properly treated as soon as the flr3t symp
toms appear. Hoarseness is the first symptom ;
this is soon followed by a peculiar.rough cough.
If I'liumberluin's Cough Uetnedy is treely giv
en as soon as these mptoms appear , it will
ioviii iahly prevent the attack. There is no
danger in giving the remedy , as it contains no
injurious substance. For sale by all druggists.

Gentlemen Five years ago I was so un
fortunate s to contract an extremely bad
case of blood poison. My bones ached nd
my muscles began to swell and contract. I
was under treatment of the physician from
the inception of the disease until I found
' that he could do me no good. Then ,
through the advice of a friend I began tak
ing S. S. S. Your medicine seemed to have
an immediate effect. I took six bottles , and
to-day am sound and well. That was two or
three yerrs ago , but I have seen no evidence
of the return of the disease , and I take this
opportunity to thank you for what it has done
for me. It saved rav life. You can refer
any one to me. R. M. Wall.

AS a 111 : ( litis pass it becomes more and more
probable that the action of Sheiiff mith of
Biimuigitam iu firing upon a mob of would bo
lynchers , was justifiable. If a sheriff is not to
be allowed to protect Lis prisoners it is wrong
to force him to 6\\ear upon assuming oflice
tiiat he will obey the law of the land. This
countrv has touched a degree of civilization
uhii-h makes the demand lor the services of
Judfco Lynch very limited.
A Scrap of Paper Saves Her Life.

pounds. On a piece of wrapping paper she
read of Dr. King's New Discovery , uud got a

The collapse of a number ot bunking institu

districts ot the state , makes it nil the more

Several years ago Chamberlain & Co. , of Des
Moines , Iowa , commenced tho manufacture
of a cough remedy , believing it to be the most
prompt and reliable preparation jet produc
ed for coughs , colds , and croup , that the pub
lic appreciate true merit , and in time it was
certain to become popular. Their most san
guine hopes have been more than realized.
Over three hundred thousand bottles of Cham
berlain's Cough itemedy aro now sold each
year , and it is recognized as "the best made , "
wherever it is known. It will cure a severe
cold in less time than any other treatment. For

The negro must always remain black , it is
true , ubjeot to processes of mod ifleation which
ate happily not so active now as they were In
the days of slavery. But he is not responsible
for the color ot his skin nor for the place which
he occupies In the polities of the South. It is
useless to blame him for not being white , or
for not living in Africa. Tiie wise nnd safe
nnd profitable thing for tnu South to do is to
irive him the same opportunities for bettering
[ lis condition that it gives to the white citizen.
Ho can thus be made more useful in eveiy
way ; and he can not possibly gain supremacy
without excelling the white man in education
and enterprise.
PnoNoiTNCiATtoN matches are beoming
