My dewEilitor, NewsRccord:
I have been very unwell for the
hit two weeks; but I am soTne tat
'. ter at' this writing and hope that I
will continue so. We are having
unfavorable weather for farm work
w oh .- -.j " . 'r
..pring for the farmer, most of th m
are oeninu wmi men mnpu -unable
to hire any one to work, A
great many of pur young men are
going too Del not, Mich., iantpn
and other publie works it is alarm
ing, it seems as though the farmers
will have to put their lands in gr.isa.
and only try to cultivate What they
can manage themselves. I have al
ways been of the opinion that it
was bad policy for our youmi folks
to Jeave the farms, especially those
that have no education and not ac
quainted with the ways of (the
world, bt' in all possibility the old
er people are to blame for iti they
have not taken enough interest in
. l -.1 . A ankAiJa n rwl nthor

general improvement. So the cn
viromeute around them have no in
ducements for young people to stay
at home it is hoped that a new era
baa opned up. We are expecting
a good road from Hot Springs up
BpringCreek, atld over from Spring
Creek to Marshall by way o
rFreeaeland Gap, when these road
f are made will be a great oppoituni-

now il;,tpe people will turn their at
tentipa,to building better Schol
buildings and furnishing and equip
jng thexme already built and mak
ing them more attractive, and then
securing of good teachers "Now
this ijis what I have been desiring to
see for. the last twenty-five years,
apd f ome of my desires have been
realised, there is an up-to-date
gchoyl at Marshall that will turn
out at the close of this term. Ele
ven graduates from the High School
department this speaks well for
Marshall notwithstanding some few
people have found fault with the
management of the school but a
majqrit bave stood by the teach
ers, and, Prof. Blankenship the
prinfiipaj, of the school has been the
right jnaa in the right place.
And Xhope the Committeemen will
continue him another year at least
And 1 would not fail to say that
Prof,.Bianken8hip's assistant
teacher 'have done faithful work
and i.bein a power in the manage-
mentiatui success of this school,
there has been a good school at
Walijut", the past term and the peo

bouaffcand I was sorry to learn
IromnjL.pld friend jlimison Tweed
that iltpt was a move to voto the

this t&tft worst! thing that can be

fcStS,0 V3A
whether I havo accomplished very
much" or not but 1 am not tired or
ashamed of mv . effort, so I am
proud of what I have done; aU !
though I have been criticised and j
to say that I have not made mis
takes would be to say that 1 am
not human but it sues to say
that my efforts along these
lines
out
my three score and ten, I am proud
of the many friends l nave in
Madison County, but the proudest
thing of my lifu is the effort 1 have
made to elevate tho girls and boys
of mv 'county, and through them I
am ixpcc,ipg greater things for the
moral arid educational interest of
Madison County done necessary to
good citizenship is religion and
knowWge, and we aro promised
that schools and the means of edu
cation shall be for ever toleratei
bo this is vouched sale to us. so
then if we educate our children that
is educate their hearts their heads
and hands this guarantee to the
County and State a good strong al-
round citizenship, this makes our
churches safe the Sunday and com
irion public high school safe, as well
as oilier interest, I am pround of
tho great improvement in our
County psper, it appears that it
has put on a new suiT. Now if the
people of the County will give their
aid it will soon le an up-to-date
County paper the, thing Madison
County needs. So long life for The
