The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1882-02-02

Our attention has been called to an
article in the Portage Co. Republican,
from the pen of a RootstOwn cores
pondent, who and what he is we care
not, but the district is justly indignant
that he should attempt to publicly
slander our neighborbood by bringing
to light any supposed differences
which may be therein, and we make
this statement, that no community has
less cause TO be ashamed of its socia-
bility than this one, or is more free
from the same charge which that con-
temptible correspondent has seen tit to
lay at its door. Possibly it was his OBJ
ject to draw attention from the glaring
defects of other neighborhoods in this
township, but let him and the public
rest assured that whatever the object
or desire, it was a stab under which to
rest unresented would have been
crime. Let the communities which
are not ten times more guilty cast the
first stone, and the fair name of Dis
trict No. 8 will be unassailed.
Since our last communication the
School has given another entertain
ment, in which the patrons were pleas
ed to see a decided progress, both in
point of matter and manner of the pro-
ductions. We have been Informed that

it better than c. D., who was so COM

taught four successful terms of school
in this place, finally taking unto him
self one of his scholars as a companion
life, whom he now removes
from this community to Ravenna.
Ravenna may welcome him with favor

Last but not least comes Hort. Sapp

was also a surprise, and worked admir-
