The Institute an "Iniposilion"
What si Competent Teacher Says
olll.
To the Editor ok the Herald:
We visited your town this morning
with the view of remaining several days.
The calling of Teachers together was the
main incentive that brought us to your
beautiful village. Wc scrutinized the
workings of a few individual minds, and
arc warranted in saying that the present
Institute being now held is an imposition
upon the'feachcra of Ohio county.
Wc claim that the extra tax upon the
Teachers of this county is tinjuit and un
called for by the people of the county.
Wc do not desire to cast any reflections,
whatever, as we have ever been a genial
friend to Popular Education.
Wc claim that it is the duty of the
Commissioner to have the Institute prop
erly conducted, and not to onerously tax
the leachers whose wages are now re-
luccd to such a low standard. We claim
hat equity and justice should govern such
things, and if our Commissioner can't give
his Teachers a cordial welcome without
taxing them so enormously, that we had
best hold no Institute.
Wc claim, also, that there are Teachers
in this county that can and will conduct
the Institute ol this county gratis, and
that their labors would be productive of
is much good as to employ those from a
distance that wear the name.
Wc arc going to fight for juitice until
all things shall work on an economical
basis. E. F. Tjlfohd.

For the Hartford Herald.
su.vn.vY school.
Editor Herald: There is a Sunday
School going on in Hartford. I make
this announcement for the benefit oftho.se
who fail to attend, presuming that all
who fail to attend arc entirely ignoront
of the iniKrtant fact.
The Sunday School is called the
"Union," and is held at the courthouse
on each Sunday morning, under the super
intendence of W. L. Rowe, Ejri. I never
found it out until last Snnd.iy, and only
found it out then because my better-half
induced me to go out for a walk, anil the
first thing I knew walked mc into the
Sunday School.
I found the room well filled with the
brightest faced little boys, and the sweet
est, dearest little ducks of girls, with doz
ens of grown girls who, well, I have no
idea that there is a single young man in
town worth having.
There were smiles and singing, classes
of boys, and classes of girls, Bible classes,
question books, and the usual exercises.
These were all under the direction of the
Superintendent, whose earnestness was
only excelled by his ubiquity.
The Bible chi-s was mostly made up of
Lawyers and Doctors, presided over by
Judge Baird, whose rare acumen is only
excelled by .in extended biblical knowl
edge. As members, there was Hill, whose in
genious answers destroyed the ponderous
gravity of Morgan's sledge-hammer ques
tions; Strother, learned and theoretical;
WcJding, humorous and full of puzzling
interrogations; Dr.Miller, earnest and
always as correctly diagnosing moral as
well as physical questions; Sanderfur,
equally at home with Mosaical and com
mon law; and Mr. Chapman, full of that
logic which confounded the wise men of
the temple, confounding in a worse degree
all the other gcntleimn.
I enjoyed the whole thing, particularly
the absence of long-drawn prayers anil
long-drawn faces, which never have and
never will make a successful Sunday
School. The infantile mind doesn't see
the importance of a surplus solemnity,
and the School must be made attractive.
I noticed that the order was most excel
lent, the key-stone of the Sunday School.
Mr. Rowe is entitled to credit for his suc
cess, which is only a beginning.
To a complete success, he needs assist
ance. Who is to be behindhand in ren
dering it ?
I was glad, also, to see that the old style
of singing, slower than the wiath of the
Lord, had been abandoned. I never could
remember the tune between the giving
out of the lines, so peace to the ashes of
the olden-time practice.
The above is written solely to call at
tention to the fact that there is in Hart
ford, if nothing else, a live Sundav
School. S.
OUIt SPRI. J,ICK LETTER.
Spring Lick, Ky. Aug. 9.
Thanks to "Old Probabilities" for a
few dry days. The effect these dry and
bright days have had on the growing
crops can better be imagined than dc-
t-cribed. The farmers hereabouts are
more hopeful than they have been for
many weeks.
THE TOniCCO CROP
is being cleared of weeds, aud the pros
pects indicate now that the yield will be
larger than was anticipated a short time
ago. Business of all kind has an upward
tendency in consequence of a better yield
than was looked tor on the crops.
HE SHOULDN'T PASTURE ON THE K. R. TRACK.
Mr. R. Ilenfrow, of our town, sustained
a heavy loss on last Saturday by a freight
train killing one of the best mules in the
Green River country. Mr. R. has had n
good deal of his stock killed by trains in
the last two years, and, in many instan
ces, lie has received no pay therefor. We
are not prepared to state whether these
accidents could have been avoided, but
it does appear to us there should be sonic
method inaugurate. 1 by which the prop
erty along the line of the road could be
protected, and, in the event stock is killed,
the railroad company ought to be made
pay for the same.
SOCIAL rrSTITITIES.
We have had two parties in our town
in the last two weeks, under the auspices
of the gentry of Spring Lick and vicinity.
But foroccupying too much space in your
valuable paper, wc would be pleased to
particularize some of the belles who par-,
ticipated in the "giddy mazeofthe dance."
Suffice it to say, a more brilliant r.rray
of bcautilul ladies are seldom congregated
together in Grayson county.
SUNDAY SCHOOL ORGANIZED.
A very interesting Sunday School was
organized in this place last Sunday was a
week ago, with O. C. Wilson, Esq., for
Superintendent. We feel confident that
under Mr. Wilson's supervision it will
prosper and grow in interest. Last Sab
bath, at 4 o'clock, Rev. L. Robertson de
livered a very impressive and instructive
lecture before the Sabbath School, his
theme being the "Advantages to be De
rived from Sabbath Schools."
ONE Or THE RESULTS.
The sudden and unprecedented advance
in Hour in the market, has caused the
wheat growers in this region of country,
to bestow greater attention on wheat not
yet stacked.
THE WHEAT
I
has been damaged greatly by the heavy
aud constant rains, but still we are of the
opinion there will be enough raised in the
county to supply home consumption.
EXCITING HORSE-RACE.
The most exciting horse-race of the
seat-on occurred on the Laeelield track
last Saturday, between Dick Fitzhugh's
yellow mare anil "Slippery Jim," owned
by Clay Stinson. It will be remembered
that these horses have been run against
each other on two former occasions, and
in both instances "Slippery Jim" took
down the purse. But on last Saturday
the distance wa. extended to eight hun
dred yards, and the purse trebled, and
our friend Fitzhugh won the race eaQilv,
so Ins friends say. This makes four
races Fitzhugh has made on this track,
and in two he was defeated. But, in the
aegre,ate, we are informed, he is consid
erable ahead.
PREDICTION rULPILLED.
As we predicted respecting the race for
legislative honors in this county, Mr
Green, the farmers' and Grangers' candi
date, was elected by an overwhelming
majority over his competitor, Dr. Heston
say S33 votes .
PERSONAL.
Judge S. P. Love, of Greenville, passed
up on the train last week, en route for
Louisville. We were pleased to see the
Colonel looking so well. A.
For the Hartford Herald.
SOME SENSIBLE TALK.
In answer to "Cousin Grange," who
tells us what the Grangers mean, and
says "that we simply propose to work for
ourselves and let others do the same;" I
would say that if that is the object of the
order, and if they stop there, it is a little,
low, groveling concern. Think of that
neighbor of yours who lives for himself
alone: no time to help a neighbor in dis
tress; no charity in his heart for the poor
and needy; turns a deaf ear to every
neighborhood enterprise which may be
for the general good; all this simply from
the fact that he has the means to satisfy
all his personal wants! We think the
above named character a nuisance to so
ciety, as well as to every thing else. He
lives for self alone. But if we are not
mistaken in our notion of the Patrons of
Husbandry, it is to bring about general
good; to elevate society, and to put down
evil wherever it is to found.
We take the ground that we, as far
mers, have need ol some professions.
such as Lawvers, Doctors and Editors.
We do not propose by including those
professions that an office could not be
filled without one of them. But we do
say, if he is honest, sober, and industri
ous, that simply his being a professional
man should not eternally doom him to
bear the weight of public displeasure.
Politicians and peddling agents are a
curse, and always have been such, and
the sooner wc are rid of them the better.
We do not belong to the Grangers
ourself: that is, we are not a member,
but as ics understand it, we heartily en
dorse them. Green River.
