date of Aug. 12th :
Dear Sir: Referring to .yoar favor
of August 10th. There is no doubt
that many of the stations oa the main
line should be renewed, bat the diffi
culty is that at present we have hard
work to get sufficient money to pay

iaUadent should be done away with
and each precinct, have a superinten
dent of its own, a good practical
teacher who should visit the school
twice each term. The expence need
not be much if any more, and the
practical benefits that would result
would more than over-balance the
extra expense. Of course all those
wjio are aspiring to the office of
caunty superintendent will object.

The Teachers Institute closed Its
sessions Satarday last. We thick
mat sapt. Moncner is to be congrat-
ulated upon its success. Assisted by i
frof. aientme and Miss Austin, the
formei for five years a teacher at Ne
braska City, the latter for seven years
superintendent of schools at Wisner,
also by Prof. Backus of this city, an
educator of experience and good
judgment, the institute was a success
each day and hour, so far as the in
structors were concerned. There
seemed to observers on the outside
more than the usual amount of ani
mation, stir and interest. We have
not space for the names of all the
teachers present, but they deserve
well of their constituency for the time
and attention they give to perfecting
themselves in a profession as honora-
ois Mti Haexui as aay among men.
All henor to sneh. The gliding years
jrill bring them iacreased wisdom aad
tfct rewards ef dsty done.

Mr. Editor : Public matters are

. fc
lie moneys by the servants of the
people is an interesting matter when
ever it is about time to nay taxes.
Township organization is a most ex
cellent thing, becaase we can just
aboat tell who is who and what is
what, and if oar money gees scatter
ing we can at least loe-k down the
road where it has goae glimmering.
Bat enough in the way of prelimiaary.
I want to know, as a tax-payer of
Lost Creek township (and there are
scares of the same name) why the ex
town baerd used np the levy of the
spring of S4 (12,000. I believe) and
left the town ISOO in debt, I hear
that some of the board are acbiag to
answer such questioas, and I woald
like to have them fill the achiag raid
of at least one Tax-patkr.
