If people generally would take more interest in keeping the school houses and grounds throughout the county in a more neat and tidy shape it would speak volumes to" the new home seekers who are coming almost daily to cast their lot among ns, and it has a wonderful bearing on the children, mating them content at home, making them feel that they are as much favored as other children in the way of educational life. Pointers for the Town "Knocker. A reader hands in the following article which he is certain must refer to some people ia G rvallis,'altboagh the clipping is from a paper published in a neighbor ing state. An exchange ably presents the princi ples of the town killer as follows : Bay from peddlers as much as possible. , Dt nouce your merchants because they make a profit on their goods. Glory in the downfall of the man who has done much to build up your town. Make your town out a very bad place, and stab it at every chance yon get. Refuse to unite in any scheme for the material in terests of the people? Tell your merch- nts t yiu canbuv goods a ereat deal cheaper in some other town . and charge them with extortion. If a stranger comes to your town tell him everything is over done, and. predict, a general crash soon. Patronize outside newspapers s to the exclnsion of your own, and , then denounce yours for not being as large and as cheap as the city papers. If you are a merchant don't advertise in.', the home paper, but compel the editor to gq elsewhere for advertisements and '. howl like a sore-head because he does bo.. Buy a rubber stamp and use it. It may save you a few dimes and make your letter-heads and wrappers look as though you were doing business in a one horse town. If you are a farmer, curse the place where you trade as the meanest on earth. Talk this to your neighbors, and tell them the men are robbers and thieves. It will make year property much less valuable; but you don't care. You're a "knocker". Beaver Creek Notes. Eddie Starr met with a bad accident this week.
