DURING the past two weeks many have renewed their subscription, and numerous new subscribers )have been added t<*our list. The PLAINDUALER starts the new year with a larger sub­ scription list than ever before, and the many complimentary words spoken of It are indeed pleasing to us. A SMALL boy surprised his teacher at one of the grammar schools recent­ ly, bv asking her how far a procession ef the Presidents of the United States would reach If they were placed in a row. On ber expressing her ignorance be oalmly said, "From Washington to Cleveland."

The letters would be re­ turned free, and pircals upon payment of postage." THE bridle bit In winter has been' the subject of almost innumerable mentions but it is one of those matters that can hardly be brought too often before many owners. Forcing frosty bits intu a horse's mouth in the winter is certainly a cruel habit, and one who has not given it much thought eannot comprehend what damage it does. It not only takes the skin off a horse's mouth, but gives him a dislike for all harness. If you will not take the trouble to warm the bit by simply breathing upon it, wrapping It firmly with a piece of thin leather off an old boot wiii answer the purpose. IN another column can be feund a new advertisement of E. Lawlus, Merchant Tailor, which no one should fail to read.

Although there were a large number of cases disposed of, still there were many more that the liti­ gants on both sides were anxious to have a hearing but Judge Kcilum eould not be prevailed upon to remain lon­ ger this terra. It appears from what has been brought to our uotlce that tbe members of the Bar, as well as their clients, are not perfectly satis­ fied with the way the Circuit Court has run la the past two years and claim that It is Impossible to keep a Judge here a suficient length of time to try tbe docket in a proper manner.

An editor is a human being of the steruer sex, usually, whe occupies a pe- cult ar position in the world. We use term world advisedly, for that Includes the church, society and politics. It Is his duty to pick up all items of general news, and to ferret out these which may naturally Jbe of an obscure nature, or which may be concealed for a pur­ pose. If he fails to do this, be lays himself liable to severe criticism. He must publish births, marriages, funer­ als, sociables, dances, theatres, parties, cards of thanks, programmes, reports of various kinds,.announcements of de­ scription, action or deliberative bod­ ies, caucuses, conventions, hors* races, foot races, conflagrations, floods, winds all accidents and all incidents. In pre­ paring these for his columns; It be­ hooves him to couch them In the finest language and beware of vain repeti­ tious, lest he be accused of a lack or culture. He must be perfectly con­ versant with the principles of gram­ mar, the rules of rhetoric and the laws of versification so that he can regener­ ate and doctor the periodical effusions of the perennial poets and poetesses, whose productions are an \affront to those who are masters of tbe language of tbe soul.

WK THOUGHT M. Senator Evans publishes a card oyer the signatures of Senators Farwell and Abner Taylor which should put to flight all the silly tales published by newspapers, and mere particularly so by the Aurora Beacon. We hope the several papers will have as good grace In publishing CoL Evans' statement as they did In censuring them. The undersigned desire to say, in order to correct certain erroneouo newspaper statements made regarding the attitude of Senator H. H. Evans during the recent canvass for the United States Senatorshlp. that the actions of the said Senator Evans, so far as our knowledge extends were consistent, honorable, and above board throughout, and any assertions or inti­ mations to the contrary are utterly without foundation. The undersigned would further say, we were fully cog­ nizant, from the beginning of the can­ vass. that his first senatorial shoice was Hon. John M. Hamilton, and his second choice Mr. Farwell, and our re­ lations at all times were friendly and cordial.

"squelch." Our informant, one ot the indignant number, gave us a little sketch of the trip. It was Intended for a surprise par­ ty, but the surprise evidently turned upon the wiong >lde. They--about forty--gleeful- •J started out while the evening was yat young, to brave live or six miles of slushy roads, and soon reached their destination- John Bell's. But they found the house "alone and lonely." Yet one ef the good-na­ tured neighbors insisted on the crowd mak­ ing themselves at home, he being confident that the Mr. and Mrs. Bell would be so much more pleasod. In the meantime, some one had tramped through the deep snow and as certained the whereabouts of the mlasing ones and soon brought the Joyful news that they were coming. They did come. But lo, they recognised not one of their friends by either word or glance, and froze the very atmosphere with their frigidity as they sought a vacant room. In blank amazement one and all felt a cold chili run down their necks, and were forcibly reminded that their room was better than their company. The consequence was that they silently and mournfully packed up their gallons of oys­ ters, the basketfuils of goodies, the organ, the cornet, the violin, and turned the horses« head homeward. That surprise was the most complete failure ot many years and I'll war­ rant the air was blue around tae country roads long into that night. We hare no com- ments to mako; 'tis unnecesiary.

Last Summer there were sev­ eral applications for the upper room In our school, but each and ail, even those person­ ally known to our people as excellent teach­ ers, stood aside for L. J.

So L. J. Corl. of Dundee, took the principal's chair, and the school in the Grammar department was a wretchel---a decided failure--that is but an expression of what everybody knows. As to who is really to blame, all have their own opinion, but It Is indisputable that there are few who can af­ ford to lose so many months of the schooj year. To-day, January 31, Mr. Corl stepped down and out; he ruled bis last day in Rich, mond's classic halla To-morrow, Myrtle McKee. who has successfully taught In the Ictermediate department for two years, will climb another flight of stairs, and gently, tho> decidedly impress on the minds of the gram­ mar scholars the £act that their long seige of holidays was ended when her predecessor closed the hall door tor the last time.
