One of the most important things to be considered by a stronger settling in our midst is the matter of schools.

So vital are th y and o necessary to be considered that no judi cious man neglects to inform himself con cerning them. To the intending Betiler, we would say that no rural section of the United States affords better facilities for education than are offered by Jackson county. Educa tional interest here has been on the in- rcrease during the last ten or fifteen years, until a very desirable standard of excel lence has been reached by teachers and is demanded by patrons. Many of the older and richer states are less progres sive in their school work than we are, and have less reason for congratulation as to system, methods and results. The attention of strangers in our valley is par ticularly, invited to the public school at Jacksonville. This school is recognized as oce of the very best in the state, and has no superior anywhere on the coast.. The libei ality and energy of the people were earlv directed toward the establish ment of a good public school in the town, and of such it justly boasts to-day. Young men ate here fitted for college and the active business walks of life, young wo men for teaching and other useful pur suits, and all the youth of the town are given a practical education.

He has finish ed up on the slash road and done work that will last for ages, and is a credit to the country. And he has made the mon ey go farther than a poor family could in panic times.

Mr. J. Watt, of Benton county, last week was boring a well on hi place for the purpose of waltering stock, and when down about 15 feet he struck a bed of coal from which a fearful smell arose.
