A few of the pupils were past school age; some were mothers who left their babes in other mothers' care, and some were almost too young to leave their mammas yet. A few could read in a rusty manner, but most were beginners in all the common branches.

It took but few trials to show me where I had to begin, and the amount of work that it would require to cause these desert minds to blossom like ths rose. We had to fit up the school room and furnish most of the text books. To save expense and to escape the evil effect of text book work, which is to lend the minds of pupils an artificial method of study and to weaken the habit of observation, we used largely the conversational mode of teaching the help of blackboard and slates. The pupils had hardly learned to toe the mark before the hottest sun of a summer was blazing down upon us; but we succeeded very well. We all became interested, and the pupils' obedience compared well with my own care.

I secured an unusual interest in good morals and gentle manners. We never used a rod, and but few punishments. We made a republic, rather than a monarchy, of the school. The pupils, some of whom were adults, were organized into a sort of school protection committee, and my work was rather to pardon than to punish. Under tlais influence, mischief ashamed, soon hid its head.

We taught writing with particular care, as this banch supports all other studies. We may heartily say that with all the burning rides we had from Dunlap to the school, at its close we had no regret for the past. Next week, you shall hear something of another term in this good work, by Mr. E. S.

Sherman Richardson, of Emporia, that was attached by the Sheriff of Lyon county, have been released by that officer, and are now being sold by consent of the mortgagees, Messrs. Sterry Sedgwick, at John Bay's old stand, on Commercial street, at very low rates.

Hail stones, varying in sizes from a hickorv nut to a hen's egg, fell in this part of the county Tuesday, breaking window panes, and no doubt doing a large amount of damage to fruit trees. "A love'lier) country God never made." And" now verily, the time hath come when the man arrays- himself in last year's straw hat and boots, and filleth a pint bottle with coffee, and lindeth a long pole and a string thereto and goes to the river bank and sitteth there all day, and when the night time has come he goeth home full to overllowing fih. A number of farmers in this part of the county claim to have been defrauded by itinerant grocery dealers from Chicago.

Mr. Masterson, living on Duck creek, purchased a bill amounting to $211.39. and upon examining the goods, found them to be short in weight, and that the goods were not of the same quality as the samples on which he purchased. He caused an attachment to be issued against some goods which were stored in Dr. Armor's building, Emporia, belonging to a firm from Chicago, for $150, alleging that he had been defrauded to that amount.

The trial will come up for hearing in the district court at its next session. Ex-county commissioner, L. A. Wood, of Americus, severely injured himself Saturday last while lifting heavy timbers at the Rujrgles bridge, by irritating an old hernia, causing ira-paction of the bowels. He came home that evening complaining of an uneasy feeling in the region of the abdomen, and was out on Sunday attending the funeral of Father Ileasley, at the U.

church. Toward evening the pains le-came very severe, and he called in Dr. T. Arthur Wright, who, having made sure that the hernia was thoroughly reduced, quieted him by an anodyne. He rested quite well during tlie night, but early on Monday morning the pains increased and vomiting ensued, indicating obstruction of the bowels.

The doctor at once recognizing the dangerous condition of his patient had Dr. W. W. Ilibben, of Emporia, immdiately called in counsel, and by their united efforts succeeded in breaking up the impaction by the middle of Monday afternoon. During Tuesday he rested comparatively easy under an anodyne.

At this writing (Wednesday). Dr. Wright informs us that Mr. Wood rested well last night, and that his fever has declined very much this morning and that he entertains strong hopes of his recovery.

DUNLAP, UGGISTs, A paper to be first-class must receive first-class patronage. First class patronage consists in every man paying his subscription in advance. Giving a paper your moral support by taking it and reading it and not paying for it will not do. Moral support never was known to run a newspaper.

Moral support cannot be made available when bills are to be met. Something more tangible is required. The men who work upon newspapers are human and subsist by eating just the same as other people. The atmosphere in this locality contains a large amount of ozone and is very bracing; the scenery is also very grand and picturesque, but nevertheless it seems to be one of the immutable laws of nature that you cannot pay for printing material with ozone or subsist the hands upon picturesque scenery. my i- We like to hear a man refuse to take his home paper and then all the time sponge on his neighbor for the reading of it.
