Trustees are not satisfied With the teach.
srs elected by the Virginia Trustees they
needn't send their children. Teachers
good enough for Virginia children ought

to Gold Hill pupils.
Hill-The election OF teachers 10 the
only obstacle in the way. For my part
I am willing to yield considerable for
economy sake.
Msrcsr-So are the Gold Hill Board.

10 not my intention. All / desire 10
harmony. and can that bs had In the
govsrnusnt Of the school BY both
Bosrdsf fear not.
Tisdals-Thst 10 Il, exactly; I desire
harmony, and don't want to rush into
