"So one lnows better he whole truth
expressevl In the tWd wonls heading this
article than printers. As a general rule
printers are last to be paid, and oftlmes
the small Amounts Urte for the paper of
advertising is grudgingly paid, although
the party may have been beiicflUtTa Iilni-
dred lold, aiid enjoyed many pleasant '
hours perusing the work of the printer.
We do not wish lb be understood as com
plaining nt the printer's lot, hart! though
it may seem at times, we only wish to
utter a few homely truths. And now we
wish to say that there are men in Lhin
county, who call themselves honest, for
sooth, who. after having been served faiiil
fully tor one; two, throe; aye, teven venrs
and more, without paying anything but
pmu-isvjt for the weekly visits ot the county
paper, when dunned for what they honest
ly owe, get very indignant, swear they
are honesty itself, always pay their debts,
but don't. . propose to be dunivd, and
threaten that if they are not let alone the
editor 'will have a, good time getting hi
money." Thi-i is one ol tlie species tlie
printer meets, while others are bland
as a morning in Spring, and promise
but never pay. A man that won't pay
when he can, ?" not -an honest man, and
the communiiy in which he lives should be
po-ted as to his Itck of honor In this re--pf
Ot. We have a large number of per
sons on our books to whom the Kkc.ister
as sent on "faithful promises" as nltove.
but as they never made th-ir word good
by paving a cent, we have ceased sending
the paper to them. If they have a f park
of bonor remaining, they wiil come for
ward now and p iy us what Is lega'ly and
rightfully our due. If they fail to do this
they are not "square ren." are not good
citizens, and their neighbors and the com
munity at large oug'it to ki.ow it. Pa
tience, has ceased to be virtue as to such
parties, and lightning will strike some ot
them befoie Spring aud don't you forget

El'iTOK ItK-JiSTi.r : Two men received
injuries re.-ulting fatally, in this vicinity,
during the past two week, by runaway
'earns. The first was Jack Carlton, of
Lewiston ; the hut John Snodgrass, of
Walla Walla.
The weai her brs been quite pleasant

The farmers are pretty well along with
their plowing, and are commencing to sow
wheat aud harlct". as during this month
tl ey wish to get in as much grain as pos
sible. But Huh: grain is sown here in the
fill ; the plowing is done during autumn
and eaily winter.
Business is brisk here, tbe result of good
crops in the past, M'o prospect for the
future, and the building of railroads, loan
ing transportation cheaper and more rapid
than at present.
We purpose making a trip farther north
and east soon, as our winter term of school
has closed, and we are free again.
The early settlers of this vicinity say that
the wind storm of January 9th. was the
most severe ever known In this past of the
country, and as so much fence was blown
down, many tinners were converted to
the "Xn Fence Lhw" faith, and will, per
haps, be the menus ot increasing the vote
in favor of that measure.

We now have a'u admln.td'e corps of
teachers, linder tlie lead of Prof. So, and
onr schools have been unusually successful.
Tliere seems to be but one drawback to
perfect success how, rind that is tlie crowtll
ed state of the rooms, the average to each
room being SO, which Is too much for health
at least. The district ought to have, a
'argerj better ventilated and lighted buliit
irg than tlie okl frame known as the Cen
tral Seuool-houe. We owe it to our
children to furnish them pleasant, ijefilthy
and attractive rooms In which to receive
their mental food ; the civilized world has
long out li ved the idea that auv barn or
hogpen is suitable as school-rooms for our
youth. And another thing may be men
tioned while we re tm the snbje.ct. and
that 9 that it Is rriofoy in the peckets ot
every community to procure good teachers
and pay them living salaries." In this way
we can get and retain com petent educators.
It Is now a generally recognized fact that
frequent change of teachers is an injury to
the school. To make a school all ft should
lie. the efforts of directors -liould first be to
sect. re first class teachers, and the next to
pay them adequate salaries, salaries equal
to men of brains in .other departments of
business so that ti ey may be Induced to
remain permanently in their places.
Retool Meetings.
Below we give a few leading features of
the school law relating to school meetings
and the rights of voters, w hich will be ot
interest to our readers i
Section 34 of the scjiool liiw directs that
school meetings, in school districts of less
than five hundred qualified voters shall be
held on the first Monday In March, notice
of which must be posted in three public
places w ithin the district at least ten days
prior to the meeting. Which notice must
state tirne of day and place of meeting.
In districts of five hundred o- more voters,
the business meeting of officers miist lie
held on the first Monday in March, and
the annual election on the second Monday,
between the hours of 2 I. M. and C r. si,
Section 43 provides that any citizen of
this State shall be entitled to vote at a
school meeting who is twenty-one years ot
age, mid lias raided In the dl-trict thirty
days immediately preceding the meeting,
and who has pfojieriy in this district upon
which he or she pays a tax.'
Section 44 provides that women who
arc widows and have (.-hlldrjen to educate,
and taxable property in the district and
who have resided In tlie district thirty days
n6 aforesaid, are entitled to vote.
Section 45 provides that d:stricts cannot
levy a tax for nr.y pnrjoe, unless the
notice calling the meeting states this to be
the object.
