for granted they are true:

Rathbun, to our knowledge, we take ii
for granted they are true:
Mr.. Rathbun's unpopularity dates
back to the time of building the school,
when the contracts for building the same
were given to the highest instead of the
lowest bidder, thereby imposing a larger
debt than necessary upon the people Of
this district; second, in giving out the
contract for painting, the man whom
the contract was given to did not get the
work; third, previous to the departure of
w. F. Morrow for Europe last June, he
was engaged by Mr.. Rathbun at salary
of s /, 100 to take charge of the school
upon his return, and he went abroad
with that expectation, but our citizens
know the spirit of fidelity ~ which Mr..
Rathbun showed. Another teacher was
installed and one of the assistants, Miss
Hattie Rathbun, was engaged, she never
having passed an examination previous,
and has not since, as we learn from an
authentic source.
We differ very much in the statement
made by Irregular that the decreased
expenditures of the school for the past
year should be the means of rejoicing
Mr.. R. as he was in no wise. connected
with the curtailment. The tax payers
voted that only certain amount of
money should be raised and the trustees
were authorized to carry out their in
junction.
"Honor to whom honor is due''
In reference to the engagement of Mr..
Morrow by Mr.. Rathbun, we have the
word of one of the trustees at that time
and still an incumbent, for authenticity.
When we stated that Mr.. RS time Of
serving Us trustee was unprecedented we
supposed such was fact, but we grace
fully acquiesce to the superiority of Tr>
regulars knowledge on the subject, and
give him the benefit of the correction.
The above reasons we submit to Tr>
regular for his careful perusal. and as
we stated before, they must be denied
publicly by Mr.. Rathbun before weadmitl
of their falsity.
Mr.. II. r. Burnett. who is to be placed
in nomination at the trustee meeting in |
July, is gaining unsolicited strength day
by day. He is man of remarkable ex>
ecutive ability, aswellas being thorough

ted to the Office than Henry R. Burnett
