DISGMAN'S FERRY.
We can hardly agree with those
who think entertainments at the
olose of school terms prejudice the
childrens advancement. After
several months of routino work in
the school room the days toward the
olose become irksome for the little
folks and if part of the time during
the last month is occupied in giving
them instructive selections to mem
orize, or . in some other profitable
manner, their little brains are ex
panded and there will always be
incentive to do their best before an
auc'ienoe. In this way a healthful
emulation to study is induced which
may be the means of greatly benefit
ting the tender minds. It is a case
otherwise of "all work and no play,
etc"
Your types made me say last week
that it took 100 gallons of sap to

SANDYSTON.
The Teachers Institute of the three
townships weat of the mountain oiel
Saturday l-ist In the school house at
Lay ton. County. Sup. Decker and
wife, Mrs, McMicklo of Boemorville
and Miss Dodge of Duckertown were
present, ns were all the teachers ol
Sandyston and Montague. Paper?
were read by U. E. Hursh, Frank
Stoli and others, and the meeting
was very Interesting and instructive
from the teaolier standpoint. Dis
cussion followed each paper and the
teachers should all take part, foi
this is the most interestins; part.
Some' flue catches of trout srp
reported, but I am sorry to say that
so:no of them were canght on Sun
day. But that Is no violation ol
law in Jersey.
Layton has special attractions and
they attract a whole lot of attraction
from attractive? youths from out

stub his toe over those attractions,
and then
.The Court at Its last session held
up a lot of licenses, and among them
I notice the name of W. H. Titman
of Bevans. A hearing will be given
each case sometime this week. If
remonstrances against a license
were for the public good, all right,
but 99 cases out of a hundred it is
pure spite of some disgruntled toper.
The Newark Sunday Call says
that great numbers of suckers are
being speared In Sussex and Warren
counties. That may be true In
Warren county hut I very' much
doubt If any of that kind ot work Is
done in this county.
Word was received here Saturday
that the body of the young lady
who was drowned at Port Jervis last
fall had been found on Depue't
island about three miles below
Flatbrookville. It was found by
two brothers named Strnnk who
were fishing. Parties from Port
Jervis went after the body Satur
day.
The boar I of education met on
Saturday night to estimate the
amount of money to be voted for,
for support of our schools. No
quorum being present an adjourn
ment was made to some time next
week, when an election will be held
to vote the needed money.
I incline to the opinion that the
goat craze will be short lived as the
animals are too frisky and only a
seven foot steel wire fence will keep
them in an enclosure. A day or
two ago I saw them peeling the bark
from young fruit trees and had they
not been promptly looked after
would have ruined every tree In
thatbrohard. They will eat any.
thing in the line of shrubbery, In
fact, anything that is green.
L. T. Smith of Layton went to
New York and purchased four fine
looking work horses, the past week, j
In reply to H. L. will say that
school exhibitions are detrimental
to any school, when that school is
In session, and school officials should
put a foot on them hereafter. The
parents may be pleased at the apt
ness of their children, the teacher
proud of the glory achieved, but as
one patron remarked, "It was three I
hoars school and three hours exhib
ition," sums up the case.
Absenteeism in our schools is
growing worse from year to year.
Our county superintendent stated
in his remark at the teachers' meet
ing on Saturday that the percentage
of attendance bad fallen off here,
but In Wantage the percentage of
attendance had increased. All
should know that the money we
receive in the state appropriation is
based on the attendance in the
sohools, and yet we have one sohool
where the attendance is only twenty-
five per cent of the pupils in that
school district. Parents refusing to
send their children to school, regu
larly, are liable to all the penalties
of the Disorderly Act, the penalty
of which is 90 days in jail or twenty,
five dollars fine. The truant officer
can find business in this line if he
will look around a little.
A Sandyston party was subpoenaed
to go before the grand jury, at its
recent session, but failed to put in
an appearance and most likely it
would not hive made any difference
if he had appeared and testified. 1
supposed a court subpitua had to
be obeyed, but it seems not.
Slate black boards will be placed
in the Layton and Fisher school
houses this week. They are much

Ky Smith moved from Bevans on

Tho esteemed Democratic Chicago
Chronicle is nnt supporting Mr.
Hearst with that enthusiasm whioh
it has displayed npou the eve of
other political campaigns. The
Chronicle s iys that 'the mere fact
that William R. Hearst is gravely
accepted anywhere as a candidate
for the democratic nomination is
more and more coming to be recog
nized as a disgrace, not only to the
party but to the country." Certain
ly a disgrace to the country.

Robbed the Grave
A startling incident is narrated by
John Oliver of Philadelphia, as fol

My sain was almost yellow, eyes
sunken, tongue coated, pain con
tinually in back and sides, no appe

Three physicians had given me np.
