meetings, unless the parties using
them are required to keep them in
good condition, and upon failure to
do so by said parties, they should be
severely punished and heavily fined.

may have occasion to use Sub-Dis.

and make our school the banner
school of the county. and call upon
the lovers Of education and the prin-
ciples We have enunciated to give us
their encouragement.
