What inducements are being offered for a man of abili ty aud push to take charge of the school 1 There are so many good positions to be had elsewhere that it will require substantial induce ments to get a live, progressive teaoher to come here.

Luckey of Lincoln county died last Thursday evening after a four week's prostration with that deadly disease which is killing so many people in our section ot the country now typhoid fever.

We like to see a man run down his home paper and then try to get a share of the trade which the newspaper brings to town. We like to see this ; it looks economical, thrifty, progressive and cheeky.

Alliancemen, those indifferent to the Alliance, those hostile to the Alliance, if there be such, every body, are invited to come prepared to spend the day. AUGUSTUS LRAZAR, District Lecturer! Sam Motz. i uv c.cai UMu oicau., ( hand, have restrained somewhat j the expression of friendship for this j young man. We do not propose to open the wounds his removal has . made, but wish to place this tribute on his grave. Troubles we talk about, usually grow ; troubles we leave with God, die- lu this spirit, it may be allowed one, who knew him well, to record the estimate in i which be was held and remembered Sam Motz was about 26 years of age, born and raised in Lincoln county, and bis associations were with the young people of Lincoluton who have come from the cradle to matnrity since the civil war. He was a young man deservedly popular and praiseworthy. I do not mean to say he was backward, diffident, retiring he was rather conspicuous uu always at me num. x u uoi mean to say be could not be indig cant he could be so and often was much so when little tricks and meanness were practiced. I do not mean to say that he was the only good young man that ever grew up here. But I do mean be was mods est in his estimate of himself, indif ferent to publicity, not seeking a dominant influence. He loved his own county and people, and clung to hid home, his friends and early associations. He had brains, mus cle, and courage, aud did not waste these endowments in complaints against men who were able to start industries, but used them in endeav oring to start one of bis own. And be was succeeding and had become the representative and contractor for a business that is giving varied employment, and calling for skilled labor. In a place where improve ments are going on, money easy aud industry rewarded, a contractor can keep a force organized to do work promptly and satisfactorily j but it requires more enterprise to manage a business where these conditions do not exist. If anything had to be done,Sam was the man to see about it; he was expected to have judg ment about it and to be kind en ough to do it or have it done. Never sick or out of place he was always relied on as one to take a hand ia auything that was worth doing. He was generous, cheerful and etroug, and never felt afraid of anything or anybody, and no violence was sus pected in his presence. He was sober-minded I never heard him say an intemperate word nor knew him to do an intemperate act. When excitement and distress prevailed and good order was dis turbed, his pleasant face and smile were a comfort, and he was sure to be on hands where he was needed sober, ready and in a good Lumor He never indulged in extravagant speech, his lips were clean and bis hands pure. When he registered his name as a member of the M. E. Church, he became an earnest Chris tian, in touch with every good work in which hia church was engaged. In humble faith, hope and charity, be professed and defended the truths on which he rested his 30ul. He did not know how dear he was to us all, and we did not know how universally be was loved till his end came. It was not surprising tbat tears and lamentations followed his tragic death on the 11th of Joly, and the indignation of a distressed people was most natural. Dear distressed friends, you crowded around the grave ot my boy and tried to comfort me when my heart was heavy ; and now our tears tall upon the grave of this young man ; tney loved each other, and they were both swept from os just as they were getting able to help us. While this July has brought sun. shine and showers and covered the fields with the richest corn, it has taken from us four young men dear to us all, and we feel like sitting un der the juniper tree and nursing our sorrows. But let us come away in closer friendly fellowship and hold fast to the right, however difficult it be. We ought not to be disheart ened. We ought to leave the pant where it is, and go forward, and do what we have to do, miffer all we have to suffer, meet things aa they are, without perplexing ourselves about what might have been ; for if we believe in an over. ruling Provi at all, (and we surely do believe it) there can be no such possibility as might have been.

A second course, called the "Household Course," is for the la dies especially, which, like the above, will be a four year's course, taking up all the various phases ot household ethics and economy of of particular interest to tbe women folk of the bonsebold. This is be- ing prepared by Mrs. Elizabeth A. R-ad.
