How strange It k that some teachers
will pay from $3 to $8 per month board,
and then teach school on a thifd grade
certificate for $15 per month, when for
an outlay of $2.50 they could obtain the
Public School Teacher's Instructor,
which would so easily enable them to get
a first grade certificate, and entitle them
to $40 per month. See advertisement in
this paper.
We understand that some farmers
complain that they do not get the prices
for produce as quoted in The Highland
er, and that one of the storekeepers had
said our reports were of no account.. We
can only say that we never publish the
market report without getting it correct
ed by one of the leading storekeepers.
It should be remembered that prices are
liable to change in the course of the
week, and that One storekeeper may not
figure on produce the same as another.
This week Mr. White lias corrected the
list.
Rerj A Gibb, of Beloit, Wis., addressed
the Highlands Temperance Union last
Tuesday evening. He talked pleasantly
and profitably to the young about form
ing correct habits of thought and im
proving the mind. He deeply deplored
the mistakes of his early lif e, and elo
quently portrayed the beauty of a life of
virtue and reconciliation t God.
A gentle ripple of excitement pervaded
the habitues of the sunny side of Main
street bn Mdnday morning lastj when
Mr. Rideout Was marched off to Franklin
in company of Marshal Ford to appear
before U. S. High Commissioner Davies
on the heinous charge of selling moon
shine whiskey. It appears from street
talk that Mr. Rideout has frequently
been threatened with this eventuality in
casein case well, in case he didn't do
just so ! There were two witnesses on
that day, who couldn't tell anything
about the matter, but who, nevertheless,
were paid one dollar per day and five
cents mileage by generous Uncle Sam,
but not getting cash down, sold their lit
tle tickets to a Franklin Vanderbilt at the
moderate discount of 50 per cent ! That
$ the approved system, we believe. An
other witness told how Mr. Rideout had
sold him a quart of whiskey Over two
years ago. There needed corroborating
evidence, and as it was not forthcoming,
Mr, Rideout was kindly told to gd home,
but Was to be back to Franklin sure on
Wednesday. So indeed it was. . But the
next witness had it that the whisked was
sold in May, and the Other bought it in De
cember. Wicked Mr, Riyou must have !
sold two quarte I Commissioner Davies
not seeing the point in Uncle Sam's be
lialf , and thinking the evidence was some
what mixed, indulged in some cheering
mpral reflections thereon, and dismissed
the base. - Thus the gnemids of temper
ance and President Cleveland triumph !
And the minions of a tyrannical centrahty
are allowed to violate sacred State rights.
and invade1 the peaceful homes of a wval
and freedom-loving community.
