communication from our little town.
This however does not contain as much
of the fight In IL as the one YOU last re-

nature " admids of degrees of passion
We believe in justice and right, and do
not like our friends To- he assailed with
out provocntion, especially not our
school teachers. We appreciate well
qualified and faithful teachers. and do
not want them either abused, or refer
red to in Il snecriug manner. AZ some
places IL has become the custom To find
fault with the teachers from the time
their schools open until they close, but
we want ii understood 'liat Beavcrtown

claim that our teachers, G.. I. Stahland
John Kaufman, arc among the most
faithful in the county, and il any 9th
crs of our towns can boast of better
school. than we had, we should like to
hear from them.
At the close uf last years schooltcrm
Mr.. Siahl's school gave an entertain.
ment or exhibition, which was very
much praised 10y all who we're prcscn,
and witnessed the performances. In

so having one this year. Though
aware of the extra amount Of labor IL
would require on his part TO make il q
success, Mr.. Stahl did not refuse. but
agreed TO comply with their wishes.
Accordingly, selections were made for
speaking and singing, and the evening
decided upon. Both teacher and pu-
pills worked hard every day tout oi
school hours), especially in the even
ings. Hard work always merits rc-
ward, rs might be expected, so did
this. The exhibition was held OH the
evening of the Both of last month. On
