GRAVEL ROADS. WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS SAY ON THE SUBJECT! EniToii Democrat;—While converting with Mr. Samuel Neher of Wells county, one evening, our conversation naturally drifted to gravel roads. 1 was telling him that I had been trying to get a gravel road, starting at Decatur and running west through Kirkland township, and I found a few of my brother farmers very much opposed to It. Some say that such a road will cost too much, while others say that they would Im; in favor of gravel roads if they would not distress their neighbors. A few farmers can be found who say that they ' will sign a petition for the proposed road if the line was changed so that it would benefit them'. Unless this can be done and the road brought by their farm they say that they will fight the project. Now, brother farmer, it is im|>ossible for me to get out a petition for a road, running on a single line t and at the same time pass every man’s I house,—especially if these residences are I scattered all over a whole township. We can not build a dozen gravel roads at once in the same neighborhood. One road must be constructed at a time. If this is a good line, why not commence on it? No hotter line can be found. It is the main road from Decatur to Blufft|on, and passes three school houses, two churches, and the town of I’e- _ terson. This is a good shipping point, as it is located on the T. St. L. A K. C. K. R. If this road should be graveled, it would I accommodate more people than any other line in the County. We have as good laud as there is in the State and are up with our sister qpunties in many/respects, but we are away behind on the road question. Brother farmers, wake tin ami let us place , ourselves along by the side of the fanners hi our sister counties! Now, readers, lam going to tell you what Samuel-Niher told me after church last Saturday night. He said that when he came to Wells county and settled on the farm on which die now 1 lives, there were no gravel roads in tiiat ’ part of the county. His farm is seven miles south of Bluffton, on the Bluffton and Camden gravel road. Near by his house is a road crossing where stood a post which was used to post notices on. He informed me that the )xist had from five to six notices on ( it all the time. They were notices of constable and sheriff sales. This lasted for several years and at times an extra lioard had to lie nailed on the post to make room for notices that the post could not contain. He said that this almost scared him out. He did not know what to think of tills country at first. He finally concluded that some one might have a mortgage on his farm. Things kept going on at this rate until the gravel road running from Camden to Bluffton was constructed. It is the same road on which the poet stood. “It has lieeji six years since it was completed’’ and to the best of my knowledge, he said: I have not seen a notice of that kind on that post for the last five years. The gravel road must have helped them out, for they have quit selling the farmer’s property. He said that they had three roads paid for. and that there was not a man on either of the three roads who was not willing to pay twice as much as the road cost him before lie would go back to the old mud roads again. Mr. Neher further informed me tiiat their roads were built at a cost of about thirteen hundred dollars per mile all told. Now. brother farmers, don’t believe tiiat it will cost you three or four thousand dollars per mile to build a gravel road, for if you will believe the truth you will have to believe Mr. Neher’s word. The most of you know that lie is a truthful man, and I give this to you as 1 believe it to be the truth. 1 f you doubt what I have just said?inquire of some due who knows something about gravel roads and then get down to business and help us to build tlds road from Decatur to Bluffton.

N. thus dispatches from Columbus: - Such has been the spmpathies shown by the entire population of the beautiful and enterprising little city of Sjiencerville, not only recently but/long, long ago—during my investigation of an element which is stronger tbun brain, that I desire on Monday night, March (ith, to scatter the force and assume all. Note the fact in the columns of the Democrat. I now really think if all praise and all personal notices cease by the press of the country respecting myself—this given to my friends -and I known only by the initials “J. N,” that the crushing, mysterious element will be so scattered and divided on all alike, that Irftan be honored with an audience, not only in Decatur and ah other places where my truths and principles qf philosophy have been enshrouded for more than onethird of a century. I will soon lift the veil at Geneva, a place to which I am truly attached from associations of long, long ago, before he truth had gained the mastery over force, veil and prejudice which it now holds. All for the cause. Subject—“ Truth and Mysteries, and How Little We Know.” To test the sympathies of my friends in , Decatur, in the interest of my cause, a verv small admission will be accepted from the men.

(COXTIXt Ell.] Strikes and riots arc not accidents: the Homestead riot is the effect of acause—a condition. The next year the employes of railroads, mines and shops anticipate a strike on account of the World’s Fair transportation giving an opportunity to bring about their ideas of wages and tbeiradjustment. The cause first, the result followsTilings occur in the natural order; there is a cause for tilings, or they would not occur, the line of evolution leads from what we were to what we are to-day. At two p. m. the institute convened and ’ proceeded to the discussion of “Is it necessary to regard flic opinions of our pupils in maintaining order -and enforcing school discipline.” 1). B. Erwin is of the opinion tiiat the teacher should not listen to pupil's opinions in regard to discipline of the school. ‘ If 1 should have given instruction to the teachers, in the schools 1 have attended, they would have been failures, the teacher may hear the opinions, but lie shouiil be gentle in ills commands.” C. E. Walters.— Opinions and beliefs are separate and distinct in meaning. I believe a teacher shoul take in all the conditions. Frequently the opinion is not the child's opinion, it is a rcliex of the opinion of the parent. This is but natural. Nature is a reflex of God. Subjection does not always change opinions. The pupil should have his opinion, they should lie regarded. ■Next followed a paper by .1, I). Frencli <iu “What of teaching as a calling? What as a life work?” Tile following were among the thoughts expressed: The teacher's task is a calling to him: as a calling lie must make it ids chosen work. There are many who think they are called to teach: many are mistaken in their fitness for the important work of teaching. The teacher must gain the love of children: some teach by program and some by chance; some are not willing "to pay the price of the preparation for the work tliey have chosen to fol. low. In India the teacher's work is for life: in China the teacher is respected. The teacher should know what people expect of him: the teacher must understand human nature; the teacher must like to teach: he' must not depend too much on books: teachers in college are not as a coihmon hireling: must study nature and depend upon himself. 11, C. I’nderwooil farther discussed the subject, arid touched several erroneous ideas presented by patrons on certain occasions; perhaps from their unacquaintance with the purposes of the teacher, they make statements unwarranted, and counteract what they should be willing to encourage. Will Kelley next came on duty and in a masterly effort presented several phases-to the subject: "What has neatness, courtesy. presumption and importance to de witli the success or failure of the business ? man or teacher?” The following are some of the thoughts presented: What is a man or woman without neatness? Neatness costs but little more than slovenJyness. Not many people have much respect for a person who has dirty habits, or is filthy in appearanee. If he lias n<> respect for himself who will have for him; especially should teachers be neat and clean. The morning ablution should not be neglected. True politeness is found in the golden rule. Noonelikesto lie illy treated. To receive good treatment one must remember the golden rule. There are those who have an excess of presuni)>tions ami there are others who do not have enough. If a person has no confidence in liimself who is going to have eontidenee in him? Some get len dollars and tliey conclude that they are rich: some get a common edm-ation arid think tliey know it allin discussion of file subject Clark Caiderwood gave expression to the following: Politeness is founded <fti benevolence, Good companions are file joy of life. Polite children commonly are found in jrolite iiomes: parents should act with their children as they wish their children to'act with community: parents are living examples for their children: parents who use strong drink are setting an example the child may follow. Courtesy at home, neatness at home mid in conversation are of the greatest importance. The business man whois not neat, courteous-and respectful will fail. He should have a degree of dignity: he must aim to be courteous to his customers. The teacher must aim to accomplish something. Those wlyi aim at nothing accom-plish-nothing. ' ’ Ngkj-fnlhnved an excellent paper by W. F. IViWsoii on the subject: “The successful eitf/.en asa social factor: 1111 investigator and v\sn-ker.” There is nu limit to man’s intelligence: this may be expanded into an indefinite limit'; the most successful men make t,he most of their advantages, if some men were to live one thousand years, life would yet be too short: others eau think that life ns it is, is too long. Men do not travel the same road to success; oiie. may succeed whew another wRh similar chances' fui'ls. Men are not alike'in thought. Thought precedes habit of action; a moderate intelligence well ijpplied will do more than a great mind not well exercised. Directness of purpose must accompany the exercise of strength. The business man must Im-a society num in order that he. bocoiiu- acquainted with his customers. The teaelier should understand that his school and home Intluenee go toward aiding or obstructing his success. Some are doers others are dreamers and grumblers. Learn to think: tlm thinker discovers tlie powers that move men to action: strive with a purpose in vwrtmittie att-rtmtynur powers will permit you to be.

school trustees. By consen among themselves, Mr. Jacob Wechtor was made spokesman, and responded In his usual cheerful mood and highly- entertaining manner. Among the many appropriate remarks, the following were of note: I am glad to meet teachers of Adams county in teacher’s institute. Tn see tinlarge attendance is to giye one encouragement, especially school officers. Our superintendent prophesied a sueccisful institute and we have had it—successful iu several ways; in attendance, in interest and in the work done by those on program. 1 am glad to see iny teachers lien-. Blue Creek has made a good record at this institute to-day: 1 was told tlds morning as the crowd was jaming around in the depot at Decatur, that tills is a tough crowd (laughter.] I thought so myself. |cheers|: tough in being able to come so far to attend the teacher's institute on such a daj as this: I have a sympathy for teachers who try to do their duty, and'help the school officers to make the schools a success; when we all do our duty we may all look for a good time and a profitable institute. After some announcements, the following resolution yras unanimously adopted.

i? Dr. U Toni & k, T ■ CONSULTATION FREE. Prominent Cures in Decatur, and other Places. Tim diagnostic powers of tliese surgeons in reading diseases without asking questions have produced a sensation among the physicians of the country. Tlie stories patients tell of their power over disease border on miraculous. One says: 1 went to tlnqii on crutches and 1 came home without them. Another: I had spinril curvature that doctors told me was incurable and I am now well. Another says: I was given up by fourteen doctors, who told me I had Bright’s disease of tlie-kidneys. but thanks to Dr. 1. S. Townsend & Bro. 1 am now a well man. Another: I was ••bedriddeff” for over ten years, witli a complication of female diseases. Some of the most enii- . nent specialists, including three professors in medical colleges, and they all told me 1 could not get well. Four years ago I placed my ease in the hands of Dr. Townsend A - Bro., and in 5 nTonths 1 dressed myself and walked across the room, and in a month 1 felt as well as I ever did. and remained so ever since. Another: I had epilepsy for r-lUteen year- auti-was-eured. Another: My. whole nervous system was broke down and 1 was practically an man at :’>l I could ( not sleep, my hands trembled...would get : dizzy and forgetful and became so bad 1 '•had to give up business. 1 consulted my I doctors, the best as I thought in the country I and finally went to Europe and spent over I $11,000.00 and three years’time and was no 1 bettqr. but graiiualjy got worse. I returned I home to die. but a friend who. had been v ' cured, advised me to unto Dr. Townsend Bro. Without any faith but to please him I 1 went and to my great surprise they told (me tliey-could cure me. and they matle i good their word, for from tlie first dose of ' medicine 1 commenced to improve and in 1 12 months I was completely cured. A lady ( -at s: Mv ease was pronounced to be tuberi eiflar consumption by seven of our best. I physicians and under whose treatment I ! got worse. Dr. Townsend & Bro. cored me in four months. One says: I had catarrh that affected my head so I was almost erid.y. It went into my ears, and oh! such a roaring. I was almost wild: it had gone down upon my lungs and the doctor said it was bronchitis. Thanks to Dr. Townsend' A- Bro. lam well. Another: I was cured of a bad . cancer. A lady of great retine-,... ment, who had received serious injuries during confinement, was cured after other •specialists failed. Thousands of cases similar to tlie above might be cited.
