COsIsIUNECATED.
WILD GOOSE FARM,
Aup Goth 1882 (

Mfr. Editor of Register-ln your last Is
sue of August 26th, you state that am
"abcut To erect another large, handsome
and costly residence" on my farm near
town and that Mr.. Humrickhouse & Son
have the contract therefor.
Nv apology for addressing you on this
subject is my desire not apparently to
sanction by silence what is not strictly
correct.
You are in error in what feel assured
was kindly meant statement rs no such
contract has been let, nor do l purpose
erecting any such expensive building rs
YOU mention, but merely comfortable
tenant house, to cost few hundred DOL
lars. i'm the hope of thereby attracting ad-
ditional desirable LABOR.
While quite willing to contribute 10 any
deserving object anywhere, yet am
specially disposed TO do so in favor OF any
cause in this locality to which am so
strongly attached by the ties incident 10
childhood and home and no where would
more highly prize tue good opinion OF
nv fellow men for liberality anu enter
prise, vet douot wish to be so over esti-
mated as to BIZ thought the possessor OF
such wealth rs the character of improve
ments you indicate would require to JUS
tify.
must therefore beg you to make the
proper correction of the above error as II
will he liable TO create false impressions.
Very truly yours,
HENRY SHEPHERD.

DUFfIELDs, W. VA,
Au0ust %. 1882


Editor Shepherdstown Register-Dear
Sir-In your issue Of the 18th appears
communication signed "Not Independ-
ent", in reference to the proposed indie
pendent school district ut Duffields. The
writer of this communication feigns igno-
ORANGE as to where this independently
sprung from, and calls upon all good citi-
zen not to cast their votes in favor OF the
independent district, closing with very
unjust attack upon the church.
We will now endeavOr to answer his
questions. In the first place he asks where
this INDEPENDENCE sprung from. We an
swer, quite number OF intelligent citi-
Gems, i'm view of our peculiar situation,
determined that it would be best TO have
an independent school district, consulted
together in public place, in the broad
day time, and there Matched the wonder
fui thing that found its way over to Shep-
herdstown to 'Our Board Of Education.
These same gentlemen, after due consld-
Grafton, agreed to circulate petition
among the citizens in the proposed indie
pendent district, and If we have spotted
the man we think Mr.. Not Independents
name appears on this same petition, put
there by his own hand. This petition after
receiving the names Of quite number Of
gentlemen was forwarded to the West
Virginia Legislature, then in session, and
duly passed upon by that body, granting
the right 10 vote on the question, which
right will be exercised by our people at
the October election, Notwithstanding We
have due notice in the Register OF the
goth OF July las: that those living within
the bounds of the Independent district
will not have the right to vote on the
question.
To return to the statements of mot In
dependent. In his communication ne
states cur taxes will be increased. This
we deny. A careful calculation having
heen made. making the figures the same
or about the same as now required to run
the schools in t.iis district, and while the
taxes in the old district will not be in
creased the taxes in the independent dis
trict will be less than at present, for the
reason that we will neither have 10 rent,
| buy, or build a school house, but will
have n place at once for the meeting OF
our school as an independent school.
The fling ut the church we consider
beneath our notice, and will only say that
the Pastor and Board of Officers are above
the low, mean things limited by Mr.. "Not
INDEPENDENT with all his scriptural quo
tations. One thing is certain, the devil
has quoted scripture when it answered
his purpose Then let our correspondent
| consider the end OF his conversation, and
to the people of the proposed independent
district, il matters not which end.
I Very respectfully yours,
INDEPENDENT.

teachers for some seven months Of the ten
constituting the school year, they conn.,
IDENTIFY expect the citizens Of our commu-

this method OF urging our citizens 10 10
