Goodtid, Clay beruinon and William DavidThe Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself: that I am not Likewise the “God, 1 thank thee, as other men are.” editor of the News thanks God that he is not like Bro. Sloops. Now, we should feel very sorry if we thought that the News editor was in any way like us. We would most quietly take a sneak to some secluded spot where mortal man would not bo permitted to gage upon us. lie further says that he cannot “understand why a man that fought for the preservation of the Union can go hand in hand and vote with the men that tried for five years to kill him. We vote (lie republican ticket tor that reason.” Wo were not aware of the fact that the News editor had served in any capacity during the war, dr that he votes the repub’ican ticket. Wo say we are not aware of it, and neither are the leaders of the republican parly. The war and sectional strife is at an end and lias been for lwouty-fivo years, and the man who still continues to liarp upon that question is not loyal to his country. The fact of the matter is all confederate soldiers w ro not democrats, and all Utiiou soldiers were uot republicans; not by any manner of means. And further on the News editor makes Hie remarkable statement, aud it should be rend very closely, “and iu a ldiiion that under republican rulo ibis country is’ first and best of all ibat God’s tight shines on. Where peace, plenty and prosperity marks j the pathway of all—a country that is b’essed by good crops, good health, abundance of everything that is goo.l ” Is that the reason why a man

One Idea ak is possession of them-, and on that tht.v continually howl and the public humanely tolerate limn. Allow The DrMocitAT to aay that you misrepresent the republican party upon the question of voting. Wo are not disposed to believe that any intelligent republican voles that ticket for the rca-ons you bare mentioned. Again the News editor misleads the public in regard lo the cause of the civil war. Why, man,the civil war was not a fight between the democrats and ropub 1cuns. It was a strife between the po <- uie of the north and the people of the south,and the questions considered by evtfVy mau who enlisted in the artpy was the proper construction of the National constitution, and the syate n of labor to bo encouraged. These vital questions concerned the people of the south and the people of the north very differently and each soldier join* ed cither the Union or the Federal army according to his convictions of right, .fust so this democrats of to day vole that ticket because they believe that the principles advocated by the democratic paily are rigid and just; I believing in a policy that will do goon ' t > the greatest number; believing in a policy that doat not make a f«w< rich at the expense of the farming gnd lactawc* { believing In • policy e laborer and far

---- Four Prisoners Confined in the County Jail. Out Their Way Out Sometime last Thursday Night b;jr. Remottug the Brick and Mortar From the Ontslile Walla and Breathe the Freeh Pare Air—Fall Account of the Bitafta There were confined in the conntv jail last Thursday four prisoners. At supper lime all reported for a sqnaro meal and ale it with a hearty relish, but men confined in a prison like that of Pikcjsounty long for the time when they may breathe the pure fresh air on the outside of prison walls, and it seems that the boys confined in the jail here were longing for the aforesaid p. f. a. and concluded that thoj- would enjoy it. The prisoners were in for petty offenses, and not at all dangerous, but they were tired^ very much so. They set to woi^s sometime during the night and began by removing the brick and mortar from under the barred window in the southwest part of the jail, and succeeded iu getting a hole large enough to admit of a man’s body, and through which they crawled out into an enclosure, and thence through a gate to the outside world. They were again fiee men, tree logo wherever liny saw fit, to roam at large among the hills of Southern Indians, or to again seek confinement in the county jail and lay out their fine®. The sheriff was unaware that anything had happened until breakfast time when upon opening the outside door of the residence part he was amazed and thunderstruck that his prisoners had broken, jail during the night. It seems that the hole in the wall was not quite largo enough for the passage through of one of the men who happened to ho very fleshy and consequently he had to remain on the outside. Possibly the readers of The Democrat may be led to believe that the men really skipped out; but they didn’t- They merely wanted a little

All 9ion lor a few minutes. ^ At 9:45 the house to order and as soon as quiet reigned Prof. Boone stepped to the front and pave another portion of his lecture on Edocatioual Psvcologv. At 10:30 Prof. Black gav^ a drill in voeal mil i'1W Immediately following this wits a lecture on Physiology in which Prigf. Ferticli dissected the heart and lungs of a calf. At 1:30 o’clock, the liooso having been called to order, Prof. Boone again addressed tlie audience upon Educational Psvcologv. Two ways were explained of studying mind : 1st. Study your own mind. 2nd. Slndy the minds of others. Mr. Boon" also advised the teachei to travel much. If it is impossible to do so, to read literature, history and stories of I ravel. After the afternoon recess the teachers a few of them wore a little behind time. Prof. Ferlieh gave a lesson or drill in primary reading in which he empha>i/.el the fact that a teacher | should not teach primary reading by either the word method, phonic method nof any other one method but she should combine alljudiciotisly. # At 3 o’clock Prof. Boone talked on the benefit to be derived from the “State Teachers’ Beading Circle'’ and also the “Childfcn’s Beading Circle.” Giving the more cr&jEt to the latter. It has now a memblRhlp of 50,000. Mr. Ellison. President of the Board of Teachers’ Reading Circle also addressed the Institute upon the same subject that Mr. Boone iustructed us in. State Supt. Voiles also spoke upon the Reading Circles of the State. One advantage of the reading circle is that It keeps the host books constantly before the young. The day’s work closed by a lecture by Boone upon Menial Science. THUKSUAT AUGUST 11, 1892. The opening yxercises consisted of singing by (he choir and scripture reading by Prof. Ferlicli. The first work was done in arithmetic by Prof. Ferticli. Following tills* was a lecture on Mental Science bv Prof. Boone. State Supt. Tories next spoke on educational views from the teae.hers’ stand point. This was elaborately discussed and will prove..very beneficial to those who mastered the thought as presented and applies it to his daily work. Mr. Yorics extended ids bed wishes to the teachers and offered Iris assistance in anything they might need him. fie said: “Th>only tiling I fear is I shall net tic aide to know my duty, or knowing I shall nol perform it.”

The rctnamdM'm me forenoon whs taken «p by Profs. Boone etui Fertlch in a series of lectures on Mental Science and Schnpl management which lessons wore readily received by the teachers. The afternoon session opened with music by the choir after which Prof. Boone gave another very instructive lesson or frHure on Mental Science. Tn this lecture bo emphasized the fact that the facts we acquire in study is not the end but !r only the means to an end: enabling" ns to know a host of other facts. Tie also staled that the end of laws in school was not order, but to give the scholar power to do without the law. He also scorned the idea of individuality in a teacher or anv one else. A recess of 4> minutes was given after whieli Pro/. Fertieh gave a lesson on reading. Ill this lesson the whole institute engaged in a pronouncing exercise. At Hie close of lesson the Prof, delivered a selection entitled, “The American Flag” (lie rendition of which place Prof. Fcrtich upon I lie highest plain of Hie elocutionist arena in the estimation of the teachPis and visitors present. ~ At 3 o’clock a general- vocal drill was engaged in by the institiito under the able management of Prof. J M. Bla.k in bis instructions lie advised the teachers of Pike county to introduce vocat music in our schools this coining school year. Prof. Bonne again addressed the the institute upon the last of liis ifSany lectures on Mental Seience. Each of his talks upon this subject is so intimately connected with the others as that when one is lost one fails to see the beauty of any.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 12, IBVZ. The session was conducted l»v Professors Fertich and Boone in (heir Instructions on the various topics assigned tiiein. Tlie forenoon’s exercises were very brief. Profs. Boone and Fertich gave short talks on the educational outlook and also in regard to the colleges. After their work had been finished Prof. Black took charge of the exercises anil conducted a very entertaining musical program which was well received. The institute has been one of the best ever held in Pike county, both from an educational standpoint and that of attendance. Great credit is due to Snpt. Thomas for the able manner in which he. has conducted the school work of the enniitv. Jle U an unfiring worker, and has the co-operstio»i of both trustees and teachers in putting the district schools on the highest possible grades. The following resolutions were adopted: Resolved: That we favor ft treat tuition sufficient to raise our schools In general to 10H days. Resolved: That In the place of some of the apparatus that 1r bought, we believe the trustee should place In cneh school, a series of snppllmentsty readings adapted to the needs of the children. Resolved: That so as to secure the best help at our unxt County Institute, we believe the present Conn.y Hu erlntendent should employ efficient workers as early as practical Resolved: That In appreciation of the most excellent work that has been done by t he different Instructors during this lnstitu'e, wc tender ther.i a vote of Uinnks.

Obituaries. Richard Spillman, after stiff,-ring long nod severely, died at Us home hi this city Inst Sunday at 1:30 p nil. Mr. Spillman was born In Gibson county, lpd., Feb. 27, 1827. lie was twice married, first to Bliss Minerva F. Riddle, March 13,1851; last to Margaret J. Cochran. April 8, 1K>9. By the first were horn three children, all of whom are still living; by the last eight, seven of whom are living. He leaves four sisters ai>d one brother. He served in the Federal army during the late war, and was a faithful soldier, lie united with the communion of the Methodist Espiseopal church twenty years ago, under Mr, McNaughten’a administration. He so lived that when dying he could say, “1 have always been loyal to my country and true to thy God.” Uuder all his suffering he was patient, ns free from a complaining, spirit as mortal could be. His consciousness served him partially, and frequently clearly, to the very last. And it was olten that he would advise- and exhort his loved ones aud frieuds religiously.. His funeral service was from the Methodist church, iit 2:00 p. m„ on Monday. The sermon from the text: “We know that if this earthly house of our tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an bouse not made with hands eternal in the heavens,” a verse quoted- by himself the last service held wilh him at his home. The Morgan Post of the G. A. R. marched in the procession, and officiated with appropriate ceremonies at the grave in Walnut Hills Cemetery. Charles and Flora Her ridge suffer the loss ot their little prattling darling, Verna, aged 2 years. 11 months and 18 days. Tbe youngest, and a bright, sweet and Interesting hula?, an appropriate subject for the good Lord to promote to tbe ranks of the angels. It must certainly lie very heart rending, and we who have never had the trial have no adequate conception of whatit is to have oneso lovely plucked away so suddenly. Thellook of liooks encourages a id comforts them, as nothing else can. '■Of such is the kingdom of heaven.” May they always be ready to meet their angel babe. She was taken about Friday before but was not thought to lie dangerously sick until a few brief-hours before the spirit took its flight, Thursday morning, August 11. The funeral service was at the home aud burial on Friday at tbe beautiful cemetery.

Pronounced Hopeless, Yet Saved. From a letter written by Mrs. Ada K. Hurd, ol Groton. 8. D., we quote: ‘'Was taMen with a had cold, which settled on my lungs, cough set in and finally terminated in consumption. Four doctors gave me up. saying 1 could live hut a short time. I gave myself up to my Savior, determined If I could not stay with mv friends on earth. 1 would meet my absent ones atwive. My husband was advised to get Hr.

One word expresses it ail—Death! That fatal shadow which closes the eyes forever, stops the criroson’currents of the veins, arrests the heart throbs and turns ail things lovely and beautitul into dust. What is it and what does it mean? In communion with sweet Nature we have often asked ourselves the question: What, oh what is death? hut the answer comes not. We have asked the countless generations ot Earth's children who have "heard the billows roar and clash above life’s sunken ship” and they have been still and voiceless. For some reason which wc can not comprehend life is linked with death; they are iudeedbrothers; one is essential to the other; both are mys’erinus. Man may become great and reach the highest possible attainments in life, hut in a little while he mtiBt face the invincible enemy. Ail that breathe must share common destiny. The departed was a friend faithful and just tome. He was my junior only a few moa’hs. Often have we played together on Earth’s stage, lint all our playing is o’er. HU part is finished; he has taken his exit; he was always full and overflowing with Jov; lie was everybody's friend. Life seeiuui to him one long period of happiness, and he, himself was all “oak and rock.” Were i to give one word that expresses the thoughts and conduct of his whole life it would be Industry. He loved t'.e enure <t labor and i lways found something to em ploy his willing minds. Ue looked upon idleness as a punishment and was never satisfilfl unless he was doing something to pay tite earth for his living. Just ns manhood was beginning to dawn, when hope’s eternal star was so bright, when nH.things seemed lovely and beautiful the scene drew to a close. As he journeyed along he became tired and “taking bis burden as his pillow laydown bv the wayside” and fell Into that peaceful si ep.—that sleep kisses: his eyelids still. During his late brief sickness loving and hopeful friends did all that kindness could suggest to assist that devoted mother and anxious sister to uphold the drooping head. But alas I flow insignificant are the .works of man! Willing hands and aching hearts were powerless to save and on last Sunday morning, as the streaks of golden daylight began to break, as night drew to a close, his frail bark floated out into tlie turbid sett, whose waters "nestle in the shadows ot the unknown.” In that hour ol death “hopeaiaw a star and love heard the fluttering of a wing.” Oh immortality! Most, consoling and blessed-thonch:! Let us ladieve that as his bark sailed nut upon the dashing waves Hint his eye was fixed on the eternal stat shining in the distance. Death isnnoth?r life; we bsw onr beads At going out. we tt Ink, and enter straight Another golden chamber of the King’s, Larger than this we have and lovelier
