Prescott Eagle from Prescott, Kansas • 4

SATURDAY, JUNE, 9, 1883. T. B. HARPER, Editor. FOR PRESIDENT, 1884, WILLIAM T.

SHERMAN, the Western hero. ATTENTION is called to a notice in another column of the Linn County Normal- Institute, which will com mence July 9. Supt. Jones is sparing no pains to make this the best and most practical school get conducted in this county. For the past fourteen years we have been fortunate in having the office of superintendent filled by energetic and schol arly men; and they have made their mark on the schools of our county.

The present incumbent, Prof. Jones, is doing a good work; and we hope the teachers county, and particularly those of Sheridan township, will not fail to attend this Institute: The instructors are Profs. 1. D. Elliott, W.

H. Wasson and W. Jones; conductor, Prof. Sanders of' Fort Scolt--all practical and thorough teachers. The citizens of Mound City will arrange that board will be inexpensive; and teachers wishing further particulars will receive a prompt re ply by addressing a card to Sapt.

Jones at Mound City. Children's Day. The great Ecumenical Conference held in London in 1881, representing all Methodist churches and twentyfive millions of people, said: "Let one day in every year be faithfully ob. served as Children's Day." Accord ingly, the I0th of June has been designated as Children's throughout the world, and in obedience to that edict the Church in Prescott will observe it in a fitting and appropriate manner. Next Sabbath the church will be festooned with ever.

green, roses, flowers and lillies in the center will be suspended large semi-circular wreaths of flowers and roses, looped together with ribbons tied in bow knots. In and around the pulpit and altar will be decked with the bud, flower and beauty of the land--the Children! the dear little children, the gem of our homes. Sweet singing canaries and red birds will mingle their meiody in chorus with the children while they sing, with arms folded, and eyes upward to Heaven, the following appropriate and beautiful stanzas: With joy we hail the Children's DayWith gratitude we meet, The heart's glad tribute now to pay Before the Mercy-Seat. The buds and blooms of rosy June With fragrance fill the air, And put our thankful hearts in tune God's goodness to declare. In concert sweet, with one accord, The birds our chorus swell, And join our praises to the Lord, In valley, hill, and dell.

Smile, Father, on the Children's Day, And draw some hearts to thee; Let Gospel light direct our way, And grace our watchword be. young men, and maidens; old men, and children; let them praise the name of the Lord: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven." Pa rents, encourage and educate the children to sing praises to God and honor His holy name. Rev. Mr. White will be present to conduct the seavices.

Let everybody in the town and country be present. The services will be grand and impressive. Don't forget the day, next Sabbath, at eleven o'clock. COL. ENOCH RAILSBACK.

An Old and Respected Citizen Died at his Home this Morning, Near this City. Col. Enoch Railsback, one of the early pioneers of Wayne county, died this morning, at his residence, west of the city, aged years. His disease was simply old age, bending and breaking under the weight of years. His house was the last and only remaining one in old Salisbury, the first county seat of this county.

Col. Railsback was born in North Carolina, on the 26th of May, 1798, and, consequently, died on the eigh ty-fifth anniversary of his birth. He removed to this county with his father's family in March, 1807, and af ter some time settled on the farm where he resided at his death. Ho married Nancy Fouts, daughter 0t Jacob Fouts, and had six children. He has been a prominent figure in the history of Wayne county for three-fourths of a century, as one of the sturdy and indomitable pioneers who assisted in redeeming the county from the wilderness in which they found it.

We clip the above from the Richmoud, Daily Palladium, dated May 26, 1883. Deceased was the grandfather of Dr. L. R. Sellers, one of the proprietors of this papers, also Mrs.

Orlando Manlove, Mrs, B. J. Robinson and Miss Alma Sellers, of BATT that upon the day of the old Colonel's death that that city was leveled and destroyed by a terrible cyclone. It blew down a three story building, lately vacated by the Colonel, into fragments, but it did not reach the old homestead and house in which he died. The old Colonel fought the Indians like Anthony Wayne, in the woods and in their cabins, and always whipped them in every battle When only a boy he won distinction in the war of 1812, and received the thanks of his General for his heroism and bravery.

In the war with Mexico he took a leading part, and was hailed and known by his command as the "brave old Hoosier Indian fighter." As the Palladium states, "he 1988 a prominent figure in the history of Wayne coun ty," But he has gone the way of all the earth, and the people who knew him in the days when he helped to "redeem the country from the wilderness" shall know him no more forever! One by one the old sires who helped to "preserve us a nation" are rapidly passing, passing away; but "their deeds do follow them." Honor to his memory and rest for his bones, COUNTY EXCHANGES. Mound City Clarion. -Strawberries are plenty and celient in this market. -Rev. W.

B. Poinsett will start for New Jersey in a few days to visit his mother and friends, whom he has not seen for many years. -O. L. Worden counted the numbers of the procession, on Decoration Day, as they passed through the gate of the cemetery.

He reports that 2,140 passed the gates. -D. A. Swift's little boy was bitten by Hickey's dog last Wednesday evening, hurting him quite severely. Doug, emptied his revolver into the dog soon after, but whether the shot was fatal or not is not known.

-It is reported that the canning factory at Pleasanton is to be speedily rebuilt. It is commendable in the people of that city to go to work at this matter with energy to repair their loss. --0. P. Watson and family returned from the east last Saturday evening looking hale and hearty.

0. P. failed to bring that West Virginia mountain with him, but it is reported that he is negotiating for one of the Alps. Watson never does thing by halves. -We are deeply indebted and truly thankful to S.

L. Ives for a couple of quarts of the finest strawberries that ever a printer put himself outside of. We don't like strawberries, but managed to incorporate a few of these into our physical system, just to keep our better half from overloading her stomach. And we would repeat it if it were necessary. -Rev.

B. McGrew called on the Clarion office last Wednesday and exhibited some specimens of quarts from the Robinson lead. We are a novice in so far as a practical knowledge of ores is concerned, but those specimons evidently bear large quantities of mineral of some kind. We were in error in stating a few weeks ago that seventy assays had been made of the McGrew quarts. It was the Robinson quartz instead.

Mr. Robinson has lately sent a car load of his quartz away, had it crushed and assayed, and we are told that the entire load assayed $60 per ton. The value of these mines should be ascertained. -The township trustee thinks the population of Pleasanton will reach 1,500. -Danton Bros.

sold 125 ewes to Richard Braden, of Mulberry, on Monday. -We are informed by postal that the Linn County Anti Toief Society met in the "mountains," near Cadmus, on the 27th ult, and elected of. ficers. -Wiwish the Journal wouldn't say any more about there being only one paper in the north part of the county while the south part has five. We feel enough interest in that portion of Linn that we don't like to have it known outside the county how far they are behind in push and enterprise.

-Capt. George, of the Clifford House, is seriously ill. His health has been visibly failing for the past six months, but he has managed to keep about till this week. Indeod, his ill health has extended back longer, for he had a sunstroke just previous to his coming here, a little less than two years ago, and never seemed to entirely recover from its effects. Ho hee the sympathy of all.

Mr. James H. Basten was killed nf this week, near linville, while assisting in raising a barn for Mr. Teter. A falling timber crushed his skull.

The funeral took place on Wednosday. Mr. Basten came here in the winter of 1859-60. Ho was one of the original proprietors of Farlinville, and lived not far from that town. He leaves a wife and family in comfortable cirenmstances.

WHAT is the matter with the Herald? Platt has got on his ear, and storms and froths like one who is crazy. He is mad awful mad -about a little joke. Whew! Who has been to see his girl lately? Per haps he thought that Neil stood a good chance in somebody's strawberry patch. He says: "He might have intended it for a joke, and it he will show us the point to the joke we will laugh at it as heartily as anybody." Mark his language: "Our conclusions are that if he meant it for a joke he is a fool; if he meant it for a piece of information he is a liar." Platt! Platt! We are sorry for you! We didn't say you were a dude Have always known you to be a gentleman. But, "we pardon the brother for what he has said, for (what do you call them P) might run in his head." More, Mr.

Platt. if you want to "chaw her back." Our back is tough, besides. we are not in the "chawing" business; and yours 18 too Green and wormy. Fourth of July! -A T- PRESCOTT.

And as I passed by the corn fields that Ike and Charlie Winslow cultivate 1 though I was in the "Hillcountry of Juden." Corn grows slowly though, because every time the wind swings around into the north, it blows from a snow bank. Thirty-nine pupils were in attendance at Maple Grove school last Friday; enrollment, forty -six.

Flags wore displayed from nearly every building and the speak. er's stand was beautifully decorated with pictures and bunting. Perfect order and good feeling prevailed throughout the day.
