Porter, of Grand Prairie, onejpf the largtst and most successful wheat growers in the county, on the sul ject of sowing low grade wheat. Mr. Porter sees no reason why it will not grow as good wheat as higher grades.

The only matter to determine is how much to sow and this can be ascertained by careful experiment before sowing. We have reports now from a number of farmers who say that their experiments show that most of the wheat will grow. Food greatly benefits when given properly at the right periods, but to overfeed the lraby is tosicken it. and induce a degree of suffering Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup is the best remedy for the discomfort arising from overfeeding the baby.

2w. LIQUOR SELLISO. By reference to the Court report elsewhere given it will be seen that the Grand Jury found an indictment gainst C. W. Smith, of the Drug firm of Miller Smith, for selling liquor.

The charge, we understand, was selling a pint of brandy to A. C. Bozarth on a prescription of Dr. Craft. We have heard but one opinion expressed as to this case, viz: that it is a clear case of spite and persecution.

Not that the Grand Jury were influenced by such motives, for we suppose that they felt bound, under Judge Dickinson's rulings, to find an indictment. But the matter was talked of on the streets for three weeks before the Grand Jury met, and it was daily reported that a citizen was engaged in hunting for evidence to indicfSmith because he had been one of a committee on invitation to a dance and had left the citizen's son out. But, be this as it may, it does not affect the main fact which we wish to get at, viz: that the liquor laws are being used in this community to persecute one set of men and shield another set. Both Law and'Smith are indicted while Barber escapes. He confessed in a tem.

ance meeting last fall that he had sold liquor in violation of law. C. B. Loveless, when foreman of the Grand Jury last fall, stated that he had obtained a pint of liquor from Barber for his sick wife. Another thing.

More men have been made drunk by the villainous cider sold at some of our restaurants than by all the liquor sold by our druggists. Yet none of these men have been indicted. The result is that good temperanca men are becoming thoroughly disgusted at this spite and persecution on the one hand and this favoriteism and partiality on the other hand. Men who have risked everything to make this a temperance community are nearly ready to vote license to end this prostitution of a good law to the basest personal ends. 'A TURAL1ZA TWX PAPERS.

TO THE PUBLIC. I wish to make it known for the benefit of horse owners in general that C. Chase, Veterinary Surgeon, of Worthiujfton, cured a vali able horse for me this winter after I had been advised by other horse doctors to shoot it as they considered it incurable. Don't fail to send for C. Chase when you have a sick horse.

Zephaniah Aminadab hasn't had a new horse fiddle this winter and Charles Augustus Jehoshaphat cries every day for anew gong. Diseases of the Lungs, Chest, and Throat are so prevalent in our ever changing climate, that such a medicine as Dr. Marshall's Lung Syrup is invaluable to the whole community. It cures almost instantly.

Burkett's family, this morning Mr. Burkett hitched up his two horse buggy and took me to district No. 49, Mr. J. Cowin, teacher.

This district has built.a new school house during the winter, 16x24, put in the patent seat, the Key Note, andthe patent slate black board. The people heredeserve a great deal of credit for the zeal they have shown, and also the taste they have displayed, and are united in making the school room comfortable and attractive. Mr. Cowin is doing a thorough work here and the people speak in the highest terms of their teacher. This is a pleasant school.

The order is good and all seem determined to improve the time in school. 1 heard several classes go through their recitations, and thougli now they are just beginning their efforts, after years of absence from school, yet there is a spirit here which insures success. In arithmetic, I listened to the following pupils lecite: Henry Doll, Albert Halbei'tson, Maggie Frendable, Joseph Hines, Luther Meacham, Martin Doll a.id Preston Meacham, and most of these did well for the time they have been at school. Hattie Ryles and Mary Hines are two bright little girls commencing in numbers and the teacher informs me that he is preparing them for teachers. So soon as they can get ready I shall be glad to give them first grade Cfi't-ificutcs The A effort of Christian Halbertson and Ole Hanson was a success, as well as Charlie Doll's drill in three letters and first reader exercises.

John Hanson is now in two letters but he is ou a double quick for the second reader. In spelling, I heard Theodore Hanson, Charles Hanson, Anton Christoferson, Anton Haberson, Maggie and vVilliam Frendable and was pleased with their spelling. Since my visit, this school has introduced the State Text Book and now their school is much better classed, a reform which was much needed here. I congratulate this district on their success iu providing ample school facilities, and we may now look for good results. RUSHMORE, Jan.

30, I spent some time in the school at Rushmore. Here I found Mr. A. F. Horst at work as teacher.

Mr. Horst is a graduate of a New England college, a thorough scholar and an experienced and practical teacher. The people of Rushmore have taken hold of educational interests with a spirit which shows that they mean business in school matters as well as in all else which they have undertaken. This school is a pleasant little family of 13, with the teacher at the head. I have not found a more pleasant school.

No harsh words, nor stamping of teacher's foot, nor manifestation of anger here, but mutual respect, kindness and good feeling prevails between teacher and pupils. Thomas Rushmore, a bright little six-year old, reads and spells well in primer and counts by twos. The teacher lias Tommy read his lesson frequently, Hebrew fashion it don't make very good sense, but then Tommy can't read by note backwards. George and John Tinnes, and Oscar Simmons solved a few problems in practical arithmetic, and showed an intelligence in arithmetic truly gratifying. They are being taught such things as they will need iu practical life.

Addison Fox, Wm. Randall, Wm. Simmons, Frank Thorn, James Thorn, Annie Thorn and Maria Evason are iu mental arithmetic, and from what I could learn are making it a success. 1 am pleased to find that mental arithmetic is regarded iu a proper light here and as a very important study. I am sometimes asked, when should children commence to study mental arithmetic? I answer, as soon as they can conpreheid the addition of two and two, and continue it during all their common school days.

Hattie Simmons is doing well in msntal and practical arithmetic, and geography. Daniel Tinnes is succeeding in algebra, history and physiology. The teacher took a pleasure in showing me all the copy books, and I was gratified to find the neatness and care with which they had been kept, and the degree of progress made. Mr. Horst is a good pensman and knows how to teach penmanship.

Upon the whole, I was mucli pleased with all I saw. True, everything is new yet, this being the first school in the village, but when I see the energy manifested in everything which will be of interest to the people, I feel like tallying one for Rushmore and her school. Rushnore, I learn, has voted bonds for a $1,500 school house, and they expect to put up the house the coming summer. May success attend the enterprise. J.

He has come well prepared for business with a nice large span of mules and full equipments. Weather is very fine and farmers here are sowing their graiu. A destructive fire passed over the prairie north of town on Sunday night, making many of our farmers fight for dear life.

IRWIN. Ever since the dawn of civilization in these parts, Frank Pettigrew has not been able to go east without leaving the impression at home that he would bring back a Bui. he never did it, and he finally wore the prophesying spirit completely out of the corainuuiiy. At the close of the legislature, he started for Chicago, and no body had any other idea than that he was away on railroad affairs, or buying a town-site, or looking after some dollar-aud-cent business of some sort. Yesterday afternoon, however, there was a wide-mouthed, open-eyed look of mixed wonder and doubt ou the faces of the people here, it having been reported, "Frank is married!" Hardly anybody believed it until they saw him ou the street iu broadcloth, and then they could not dispute the evidence.

Of course there was universal gratification then, and his office was swarmed all afternoon with people shaking hands and wishing him joy and expressing as much as possible of the heartiness that the occassion Falls Pantagraph. That's the way it was with an old bachelor editAY down there at Worthington. Every time he went east, it was rumored that he had gone to bring back a wife. A few always swore it wasn't so, for they knew he "wasn't that kind of a hair pin." Well, sir, last fall, just when everybody had given it up, he went to Chicago, and nobody in the world suspected that he would bring a wife back with him and sure didn't.
