NINTH GRADE The pupils of the 9th grade have been having a very inter esting time in their algebra les son this week. The society rendered one of the most interesting programs Friday evening that we have had. We know the 10th grade liked those timely questions they had on final examination in their business course. What is it the 8th grade laughs at so much while they are in the recitation room. We are very glad to see Floyd Denman back in school again and we know he is glad to get back. We will soon bid Civil Govern ment “goodbye” and take up Miths of Greece and Rome. -A SEVENTH GRADE. Prof. Dunaway visits our room quite often. Wonder why. Fifty per cent failed on his tory examination. Chalk and plaster buzzed through the air and just then Prof Dunaway was seen coming up the stairs. We are reviewing arithmetic for examination. The books have not come for the chorus class yet. We wonder what Prof. Dun away’s scheme is. Charlie Jones was absent this week on the account of the death of his brother. Patrons of the school must not forget that we are to have ex ercises at the opera house April 6th. We hope to have a large crowd. Mr. Bryson has plenty (of com pany now, even until 5 1/1 the af ternoon. f f SIXTH GRADE. Here we are again. J We are glad to j have Roy Stainton with us again after a long absence. Roy is one of our best pupils. f Stella Hawkins, ' one of our leaders, is absent t/his week on account of sicknes^.

ANOTHER BLAZE Public Colored School Building Burned Wednesday Night Wednesday evening about b o’clock the colored school build ing was totally destroyed by fire. The building and fixtures are estimated to be worth about $2,500.00 and is a total loss as there was no insurance carried on this property. The origin of the fire is not known, but is supposed to be the work of an incindery. We have been informed that the assistant teachers and patrons had been having some trouble and much bitter feeling has been the out come of this. The Board of Directors of our public schools, on account of the absence of President C. C. Ham by, have not taken any action on this, but will probably secure another building and continue the school. The Methodist ministers of Chicago at their weekly meeting adopted resolutions criticising Judge Holdom because of his in junction against Typographical Union No. 16. and its officers and members. The resolution ex pressed the hope that the in junction will be speedily dissolv ed, because "it restrains fair ar gument and persuasive speech." Subscribe for the PicavunE. MARKET REPORT!

When this earth of ours was cast asunder from some celes tial body and hurled into space, it was a mass of seething, mol ten matter. Gradually the sur face cooled and solidified, a hard crust imprisoned the glowing in terior, in the process of cooling and hardening, began to expand with such terrific force that the outer shell, or earth’s surface, burst and volcanos belched forth lava. In some sections of the world this lava contained little sacks of carbonic gas. which, as the lava gradually cooled, while passing through this outer crust, and under the tremendous pres sure, solidified into crystals of pure carbon. Thus do we ac count for the birth of God’s most exquisite gem, the diamond.

Hannah, of Morris, is Op posed to It. I have been reading letters from different citizens of the :ounty for and against the stock law, I feel that it is now time for me to put in. I will intro duce myself by saying that a law :>f this kind would be an outrage upon the people, especially those who are not able to own land. Take the common renter. He has no land to grow grass on. The stock law would force him to rent pastures for his stock which would add another burden to his already hard way of making a living. I think it would cause general confusion among the farmer or cause them to lose a great deal of the crops that is very impor tant, especially the stock pea that matures late in the season. These are valuable for fatening hogs, horses and cattle, also the grass that is so plentiful in the fall. We give the following rea sons for the above assertion: 1st. We would have to have laws regulating the time for pas turing the above mentioned crops. Then comes the trouble. Mr. A would not be done picking cotton neither would Mr. B. but Mr. C would. Mr. L) has not had time to gather his potatoes. Messrs E and F have no pea crop and they don’t try to grow anything of the kind but they are ready to turn in their stock on the day designated ny law. oo ne gets the benefit of his neighbors pea fields and they can’t help them selves. So the man that is not done gathering his crop has to see it destroyed by his neighbors stock and can’t help himself, and here it goes, on and on. Now 1 want the man who says that his fence is rotton and no timber to rebuild with to please tell me how he is roing to fence his pasture. If you will build a fence around your farm, such as you would have to build around your pasture to keep your stuck in you will never be troubled with your neighbors stock break ing on your crops and causing so much trouble. Will you please fry the experiment? I owna tract of land that is ' large enough to afford pasture for my stock if it was all en closed but there is a public road through the center of it, so I would be compelled to make | a lane or have gates at each side which would be a last ing trouble. l nave taiKeu vvitn different men that liave lived where the stock law was in j force and not one of them are in | favor of it. I Again. With the imaginary j eye I look into the future and I j see in the rural school districts j where the children gather from every nook and corner. If. we I have the stock law the principal part af the land would he fenced for pasture thus causing the children to go a greater distance to school or to climb fences or to go through gates put up for their benefit which would often cause trouble by some thought less child leaving gates open and thereby letting the stock out of i the pastures into the growing crops. If I had space I could mention many other troubles that might grow out of having the stock law in force here. Now, brother farmers, consid er this matter well before you cast your vote. J. B. Hannah. PRESCOTT W. C. T. U. Interesting Program for Meeting I riday, March 9th. The program for the meeting with Mrs. Hugh Moncrief on Friday, March Oth. is unusually interesting and all members are urged to attend. This being the anniversary of our national president, it is but fitting that we study her life and work. To extend the circula tion of our national organ, the Union Signal, has been her chief joy for years, and so her great constituency honors her by sending in as many subscriptions as possible, thus giving her a “Union Signal shower”, as it were. Prescott Union has done fine, but has not come up to her ability. The writer put in twen ty three names but it should have been at least, double that number. “As we read so are we” is an old adage, and we believe we are safe in saying that the ones most j interested in his or her church is the one who reads its literture, indeed, who takes the church paper. Really there is little ; hope of building up a stalward Christianity until we can get those professing it, to study the papers devoted to its interest. Let us economize on every thing posible, if we have to before we do on good literature, and especi ally on those things that are so 1 vital to the life of a good cause. Quotations from Mrs. Stevens national president. Peace, Purity, Total, Absti nence and prohibition on these four “hang all the law and the prophets” of' the temperance reform as understood by the W. C. T. U. We cannot place too high a i value on the formative and edu | cational phases of the temper ance movement. It is not only the most hopely, but the most pleasant. Any local union falls far short of being a model union if it does not have connected with it the Young Woman’s and the Loyal Temperance Legion. Let no one say the spirit of the crusade has died out. It is maintaining itself today as nev er before. It is actuating those who, from pulpit and platform, proclaim the gospel of total ab stinence and prohibition. It is inspiring those who seek to “save that which is lost” through this curse of curses. It is guid ing those who, in many W. C. T. U. lines of work, are shedding abroad gospel temperance truths. 0, no, the Crusade spirit will not die, while there exists the legalized sale of that which .. causes son, and daughters to for get their mothers and to forget the Rock of Ages. God help the National W. C. T. U. to go for ward with ever increasing pur pose, and in the same spirit that inspired the Crusade mothers, should be the prayer of all our hearts. .lust, prior to his death .John A. McCall, former president of the New York Life insurance com pany, made the following state ment: ‘‘I may not have lived the life of a saint, but as 1 look back now I cannot recall that I have ever deliberately harmed a man, woman or child. I have lived my life as 1 saw it and as 1 e: t as I could.” Mr. McCall’s friends say that he died poor.
