ing to our city for school purposes. The
above statement is incorrect The facts Of
the case are as follows: On Christmay day,
Mr.. f. D. C!eaver, one of our commissioners,
received note from Mr.. T j Clark. stating
that "he gave as Christmas present to Della
ware City the Academy building for school
purposes" This unexpected generosity made
our hearts glad. But, alas on the next day
Mr.. Clark sent a messenger TO Mr.. Cleayer
asking for u return of the note of donation as
''he wished to make some changes in the con-
ditons." The note was accordingly returned. |
In Il few days Mr. Cieaver received the second |
note from Mr. T. J. Clark, stating that she
would not donate the said Academy as be had |
not much faith in the administration of Dela- |
ware City" viz: E. D. Cleaver, John T.
