view with the President if it broke MS
slfspenders. He had come 20 miles IN a
lumber wagon on purpose to see tne
"old man , and. have. him settle a neigh
.borhood dispute regarding the. Location
of school-house.

testing knot of, listeners, Z the Thomas
crowd are bound and determined to To-
cate the schuoI4house down there by the
E1Widder HullIs, which is the worst place
on the hull road, while the rest OF. lis
want it up U On the Jackson Hill, which
is airy and, salubriOus, and handy tUltWo
| creeks and mill-pond. The Thomas
crowd are cracking their heels just now,
and they think they 'vc-got the bulge on
us, but Lrather thinlDif' the President OF
the great United States decides in favor
of the hill the schoo1-house viii be plant
bedIthere. It's alittle dodge of mine to
