It is an interesting as well as a
pleasant fact to notice the intellect
ual development made nnder our
present school management. Both
in organization and method of in
struction our schools stand unexcelled
in the state. Qur citizens feel a
justifiable pride in the matter. There
is now no reason why any of our
children should be sent away from
home, at considerable risk, and great
expense, for that which may be had
at home. The Superintendent has
succeeded well in developing a sim
ple system, free from red tape, and
modeled on our own local wants and
needs. It is a system for Columbus,
and not a mere copy of the nsual ma
chine work, which is the bane of the
graded system.' He is now at work
ou the literary and business course,
which will, hereafter, replace to
some extent, the higher matbematic
and theoretical science.
Rev. J. W. Little and family re
move to Table Rock, Neb., next

added to the church. Both congre
gations have good houses, and are,
we understand, out of debt. Mr.
Little's work has been pretty arduous
at times, preaching twice a -day at
Columbus, and once a day at Lost
Creek every alternate Sunday regu
larly, and often every Sunday. Mr.
aud Mrs. Little and family will leave
many warm friends to regret their
going.
