horse, financially. Thus situated,
makes his money fast and easy,
while we must strain every nerve to
meet the demands of the law upon
us. To do our little business We
must pay before we start more than
$106, to the collector, and then on
the rough horse Of uncertainty we
must trust to labor and luck for re-
suits. Were we all Post Masters,
Collectors &c. with sure pa,, our
ivalor3 to meet J taxes might be
brought to higher standard. But
we can not all be such. If honest
effort to defeat any desire of others,
which, in our OF inion, will leave in
its train sorrow, misery, perplexity
and care, even if it clothes the mind
at the expense Of the physical man

tages than those of show, is to be
termed "personal spite then we

But no resolution to bulld shan
.ty' was even offered in that meeting !!
That idea belongs to "toroll." The
resolution adopted by a large ma
jority of those present, some of whom
at least have heretofore been deem
ed of sound mind, covers more than
'shanty!' 1t covers first the tho
rough repair, and improvement of
the grounds, of the present building
near the east center of town. 1t COW
ers the retention, repairs and con-
tinued use of the new and comfcrta-
bic two story building in the north
part Of town. And it covers the
construction of q like building in
the south end Of town to accommo-
date those south Of the Rail Road.
And it covers the sensible idea OF
adding :others when needed, and
saving scores Of thousands Of dol
lars to be used in cultivating what
brains we have in comfortable, sub
stantial, and convenient rooms with
out putting so much money in brick
and mortar with no better result to
the body and mind
We are the friend of education
always have been, and believe mors
in pointing to educated, industrious
and moral sotiety, with pride as the
result Of our school system than we
do to piles Of brick, crowned with
glittering domes, all covered will
promises to pay to be left as az
Inheritance to our childien, as al
evidence of the want Of economy
in the practice and lives of theil
fathers. ..sa.-
Let our children, while at school
occupy large, comfortable, clean
rooms,in substantial, plain buildings
let the grounds be made inviting, sc
the mind will be elevated by coming
in contact with surroundings eve
| to be remembered by the student
Danish all desire to build for mere
show, use wisdom and liborality
closely coupled with comfort ane
true economy, and not only the pres
ent, but future generations, will re
member, gratefully, the acts of those
who have tried to do their duty, moi
| for show, but for the comfort o
mankind, and all will sfeel better"
Give me and my children a'shan
ty' with plenty and comfort, rather
/ than the palace Of a king with iinan
cial ruin and distress at every door
whether I understand the meaning
Of "torodtlle, torolr' or not! Indi
vidual extravaganza no more Ger
tainlv leads to penury and want thar
does municipal or any other extrav

leading thereto should be vel
