Mr. D. V. was not mistaken in S. P. taking a journey, but happened along just as our good brother was practicing a Fourth of July oration.

Everett, who has a position with Crane Construction Company, is expected here a week from Sunday. San Pierre did its best to celebrate the "Fourth,” either one way or another.

Grandma Hilliard's Sunday with that new baby, and you should have heard Grandma tell what a fine babe it really is. with eyes like mamma and it acts for the world like papa did when he was a kid. Clarence Gulbransen is the happy owner of a new buggy and while the old bale-wire harness did not glisten in the moonlight, the buggy did, and to say which was the happiest—Clarence or Carrie—in their trip Saturday night to Tefft, would be difficult. L. Buck Stanley commences bis temperance lectures at Tefft the 6th fast., and if he can take the stench of liquor from that town he should be given a reception by the good people of the town ship. He surely has before him the task of bis life and should dismiss his advance billing agent for six months or a year, at least. Misses Susie and Edna Jessup came home Saturday from Kankakee, Ills, where they have been working for three months. Jimmie Keene met them at the train, his face all aglow in anticipation ot a happy reunion. His face reminded one of a glorious sunset. He declares that one of them shall never go so far away from home again. One of the business men of Tefft, we are informed, was given an urgent invitation home from the saloon the other night, where he was drinking and throwing dice. His wife gave him the invitation and stayed and urged its immediate acceptance and the saloonkeeper was ordered to sell him no more drinks. We suggest that the wife join bands with Buck Stanley when he comes to Tefft and for her to hold and let Buck shin. F. G. Barnard, a wealthy grain buyer of Locbiel, Ind., and who owns several hundred acres of land in Kankakee and Walker townships, came up Saturday to look over his interests here and visit his wife's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Hixson, ot Kankakee township. Mr. Bar nard is feeding and pasturing four hundred head of «.attle here. He says he can’t understand why the people do not make a united effort for a gravel or stone road through this part of Jasper county. He claims that the money thus invested will return to the taxpayers of the township a handsome profit. A few energetic men like Mr. Barnard, who are not afraid to invest a few dollars in improvements, is what this locality needs.

All eyes are now turned toward our trustees, as the time approaches to hire and assign to the schools of the different districts teachers for the coming year. If they have no political'debts to pay, they will hire only such teachers as are preparing for school work; in other words, those who are spending their time and money to better - prepare themselves to teach the grades in our common schools, and not those who are teaching only for the sole purpose of obtaining the money necessary to complete some other course and who have no other interest in the schools of our townships. The tax payers of the different townships should see that no political debts are paid at their expense or at the expense of our public schools.
