All you want Ia four more for . majority.
DON'T let this drop, ladies for Gods sake get
me four more names, and these teachers shall
| b disc charged before sunset to MORROW" Mr..
| Agnew, another rustee, said he would sup
| peri Mr.. Lot hrop, for he thought there should
| be u chan % on account Of the feeling against
the teachers, and O. allow the children who
had been pit out Of school for he last three
| years 3 chance to go to school and receive the
b efits Of the public money IS well as the
| rest.
We got six names instead Of four, and
" H. Mr. Agnew kept his word, Mr.. Lothrop
| fatty refused to have anything to do with II;
| said he washed his hands of the whole sffAir,
although what we had done was .. his earnest
| request and for the benefis of the little ones.
In this aud many other instances cousected

WHICH would be for the beneAt of all. Mr..

| worthy. His pligbtcd word has been broken
even after assuring us on his woro of honor as
q man aid gentleman that those teachers
must go. MRS +. WINZELL,
