l« i I DAY, NoV. 30, 1883.
In company with the school board
and .several other gentlemen we paid
our schools a visit the otlmr day, but
our stay was rather short for lengthy
•riticism. The utttendiinee has not
been very regular for which parents
.ire more responsible than anybody
Hse. Nearly forty are enrolled in the
u pjter department with an average of
seventeen l'or the lowest, niontiv and
i wenty-seven for the highest.
The seats of this room have been
n veised, now lacing to the rear of the
building where the rostrum is situat
ed. A hard coal burner now takes the
place of the nasty soft coal stove
formerly used. These changes make
a decided im proven ien,t in appearance,
neatness and comfort of the room.
New outline maps and other neces
sary apparatus have been added. The
name improvements have been made
in the lower department except in the
matter of old box seats which cannot
lie exchanged for better any too soon
for the comfort of the children*. En
rolment hereisabout sixty with forty
in attendance. Drill and discipline
weve very good.
The present is a good time to point
•a moral and adorn a tale." With
wheat as low sometimes as sixty-six
cents a bushel, farmers complain bit
t'-rly of the dull times aud their ina
bility to command a little money ex
cept at a great sacrifice* In their ex
treme need we sincerely sympathize
with them, and so does every business
man who knows and feels that his own
trade suffers in unison.
Iiut the closeness.of the times is not
without its lesson and a very import
ant one too.
While it cannot be said that our
farmers are lacking in energy, it mav
be justly asserted that very much of
their effort is misdirected. They
will toil and sweat to prepare the
ground,, sow seed and reap the harvest
of countless acres of wheat while
scarcely a cow stable or pig pen can
be seen to indicate that they raise*
even their own beef, butter, or pork.
Such farming is neither safe nor e
conotuical. Time and. again have we
noticed farmers buying meat in the
city market to supply their families
and hired help, when they could have
raised it at home for one-fifth the cost.
There is not a fanner in this county
who should not have enough and to
spare of beef and pork for his own use
if he would but farm it as he should.
This much accomplished, he would be
in a fair way to raise stock for the
market or in other words, to engage in
diversified farming, which would
stand him in good stead at a crash,
like the present, in the price of wheat.
Cattle, sheep, hogs and chickens in
abundance to sell at this season of the
year or any other season, for they can
always be nmle ready to sell and are
always in demand, would meet his
urgent wants and free him from the
grinding exactions of millers' associa
tions, money lenders, or the dread of
grasshoppers..
To say that they cannot get money
to begin stockraising with is worse
than begging the question, for too of
ten have we seen men on the streets
whose condition betrayed that they
had spent more for drink than would
have bought several good pigs or quite
a number of (thickens to start with
and a year's savings of this kind and
•what is spent on butcher's meat, by
'.hose who should raise their own,
would together purchase them several
head of young cattle or hogs to stock
their farm. Many farmers have got
to learn this lesson of husbandry and
.economy before they can be in a con
dition to meet successfully the revers
es of wheat markets. The country in
which money is llush and circulating
(he year round, is where a moderate
amount of wheat is raised, and farm
ers well to-do because they produce
plenty of cattle, sheep, hogs, butter &c.

Canton business men are agitating

accomplish the end. The removal of

sirous of occupying that territory.

A committee was appointed to get
the views of the business men of the
city as to the best plans for the suc
cessful consummation of the project.
Of the opinions of those business men
present at the meeting to agitate the
question, the Advocate savs:
Messrs Gilford, liandall, Dresbach.
M. K, Rudolph, and O. A. liudolph
were called upon, and all were enthus
iastically in favor of the establish
ment of a college, either under the
guidance of a stock company or by the
purchase of a suitable building and the
transfer of the same to some denom
ination with means for the successful
perpetuation of an institute of learn
ing. One thing was evident, and
that was, those whose money was sub
scribed were in la vol" of negotiating
with some denomination for the estab
lishment of a college, and as money
talked—this being purely a business
meeting—a committee was appointed
to confer with outside parties.
Xo more eligible site for a similar
school could be found than right here

th-it direction may be aided by the
