called to the action of our School Board
in reference to the purchase Of school
books. No one, We presume, objects to
reduction OH the price of books. The
exorbitant prices which we have been
compelled to pay, has been heavy tax
upon us, and any legal, or even honor
able plan, which could have been devised
to cheaper them, would have been hailed
by all parties, with applause; the retailcs'
profits, however, have never been large
or excessive. The whole duty of our
School Board is clearly defined by law,
but in this instance it looks as though
they had deliberately made use Of their
official positions to the manifest injury
Of legitimate and honorable business.
Whether their object was simply to
cheaper the price of books or create for
themselves cheap popularity, in neither
case, will public opinion sustain them.
A few penurious specimens of humanity,
will pat them on the shoulders and prom
Use to stand by them but their, better ma
lures and every instinct of mate justice,
will condemn the means resorted to by
this board and they now appear before
the public as nothing more nor less than
busy bodies, in other peoples business.
1t would have looked better at least on
., n1 M IF T.
outside Of the board to sell the books, and
although some of them may stand back
on their dignity and in an imperious
manner decline to discuss this matter.
1t will be discussed, nevertheless, and
condemned by all right-thinking people.
The few cents saved on the price of a
book is not enough to purchase the APP
prevail of our people to palpablc wrong
like this.
A LITTLE girl by the name Of Cos
grove, aged about seven years, met with
very painful accident yesterday morn

home, and not looking where she was
going, stumbled and fell, cutting her lip
very badly on the edge of an old tin can.

Fortunately general alarm was not
