The means, however, for the accomplishment of this end should a hardship on any one class •’sneciidly on those whtti ruj : ■ I o Ur ' the’ . -q ''f;, mluilN I II I c |.... ■a, ~ f till' result has been to very many of the little schools d. tied ahoul in I: -malli-i |PMiiii:ilii.- and lie spins!) neighhoilios.i- .1 (lit- . ■■ui-ln HpHn])li- m -ncli lm-.iiilii - ai- 1 1- -l gllMo send their rhil.li.n lo th* jjjWns to board; they arc wealthy to l ave a go . enmiy, P^ither uprxtwy pay cit o a hi# t. priced Taiclier to come into ibajr midst to leach the handful of childAiß that would gather from a thinly tied school district. There is but ono? other thing for these ptople to do, that is to employ teachers who may bo secured for a moderate sum who have not been able to perfect them selves in the higher brunches, who are not even capable to stand the exami nation sent out by the commissioner, and yet, are competent to direct the primitive learners comprisino the ma jority of school attendants in such a community. It may bo urged that a teacher who cannot secure a third grade license under the present system is n.it com petent to teach even tho primary grades that are predominant through out the rural schools. This wo shall not pretend to deny and we deplore the fact that these schools are no' able to employ a hotter class of teachers ; but the fact stares ns in the face, and we must meet it with some sort of so lution. The children ate growing and their minds are hardening, acd people cannot wait till they arc wealthy or ,lill they can move to town (God for bid any more of this ingress to tbe town and cities), and, too, we are tofd that many of our fathers, some of whom have von high honors in schol arship, started their educations under just such teachers as wo plead for. W e do not wish to impede the great upward impetus that has la on started to improve the standard of teachers, but we would check it TANARUS so much as it interferes with the very cause for which tear hers are being perfected. Let down the examination and turn all the children hack into the schools that have been lurm-d out, even though a few iucapanle teachers may 'Creep into the system. Let tho peo ple have the benefit of the taxes tTiey par. even though the progress their children make be never so slow ; it is better than no progress at all. If Russia have offered to lend us four hundred million dollars in gold, let’s borrow it and move to Canada. Take Tour Taper. Take your home paper. Read it j yourself and give your family the nen ! elit of it. The family newspaper has ! ceased to he a luxury only. It has i lecome a necessity. No household is I well regulated and completely equip ! pod that nae not the home newspaper jas one of its furnishings. Aside from the profit and pleasure of keeping i thoroughly aure.tst of the times and keeping in close touch with all that is going on in the great world, there is a delight in knowing how your Mends ar,d neighbors are getting along. There are so many things in the home paper to interest and amuse you. There are items concerning people that perhaps you knew long ago and had lost sight of during the years that have passed. Then take your home paper. I>o not miss a single issue. The one tnat you miss is the one that contained something ilia' you especially wanted. It is a good idea to keep it on file in the house. There is nothing in ire in teresting than the files of a newspaper. Du. do not neglect the home paper. Your support adds to its encourage ment and makes it a better paper.

Thf Cast of George TllotnpNoil a Strange one—Kren PliyKlclans were Puz zled—A True Story that Heads LlLe Fiction. From the Qaiette, Darien, Ga. A Gazette reporter having heard that Mr. Oeorge Thompson, who lives about six teen miles from Darien, had been greatly benefited by the use of Dr. Williams’Pink Pills, called upon him last week to learn the particulars of his cure. Mr. Thompson is a young man of about twenty-one. He greeted llie reporter cor dially, and spoke freely about his case. " You wouldn't think that I had been ill for eighteen years, would you?” asked she, and the reporter, after noticing bis strong, healthy frame, the ruddy hue ot his cheeks and generally stalwart appearance, was forced to admit that no one would think so. “ Well, I’ll tell you.” said Mr. Thomp son, “ from the time of my birth until three years ago, I never saw a well day. My par ents spent as much as their limited means could afford to restore my health, but with no avail. I never grew very much, and when I was eighteen l looked like a boy of twelve. I had no energy, no strength. It was a hard task for me to move about. I whs thin and pale—gimstlv, in fact. I suf fered greatly from headaches, and was rarely free from them. I had no appetite and never enjoved my food. “ Vou may well imagine that in the face of all this life was a burden to me. Many a time I thought I’d be better dead and wished that I might be taken. Doctors seemed to do me no good. They said my ease was one of ‘arrested development.’ and prescribed tonics, but their medicine had no effect upon me. I grew weaker and weaker. At last, three years ago, I began to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. From the first Ixix 1 took I began to improve, i have taken since then about two dozen boxes of the pills, with the result that you see. My ap petite is excellent, I am very much stronger than 1 was, and never have headache any more. In the past three years 1 have grown more than 1 did in the first eighteen years of my life put together, ami 1 fully believe I owe my cure to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. I 1 owe them a debt I can never ropnv.” Mr. Thompson then introduced the re porter to his parents, who are both strong and healthy looking. They fully bore out the young man’s statement in every partic ular. *’ If you had seen my son three years ago, when he was a pale-faced, listless wreck,” said his mother. “ you would realize how great a change has been made in his health by Dr. Williams’ Pink rills.’’ Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People are now given to the public as an unfailing Mood builder and nerve restorer, curing all forms of weakness arising from a watery condition of the blood or shattered nerves. The pills are sold by all dealers, or will l>e sent post paid on receipt of price 50 cents a box. or six boxes for $2.50 (they are never add in bulk of by the 100) by addressing Dr. tVikUami’ Medicine Company, Sehecec tady, K.

Hood & Cos., Lowell, Mass.: “ It is with pleasure that I send a testimonial concerning what Hood's Sarsaparilla has done for my daughter. It is a wonderful medicine and I cannot recommend it too highly. Sarah, | who is fourteen years old, has been Afflicted With Scrofula ever since she was one year old. For five years she has had a running sore on ona side of her i face. We tried every remedy recommended, hut : nothing did her any good until we commenced ; using llood's Sarsaparilla. My married daughter advised mo to use Hood’s Sarsaparilla because Hood’s*> Cures ; It Rad cured her of dyspepsia. She had been troubled with that complaint since childhood, and si:u her cure she has never been without a bottle of flood’s Sarsaparilla iu the house. We ; commenced giving it to Sarah about one year i and it has conquered the running sore, Only a Scar Remaining as a trace of the dreadful disease.
