A Good Plan.

Uncle Jimmy Blankinship, the
best city tax collector in the state.
suggests a plan which, if carried out,
will give US a first-class free school
ten months in the year, aud we be,
lieve there are enough public>spirited
men in town to carry it out success
fully. We have, for various reasons,
heretofore failed to vote a tax for
TINS purpose, although we believe
majority of the voters actually favor
ed it. The consequence has been,
that we have had free school one
year and private school the next
His plan is this: He is willing to
pay a voluntary tax of ten dollars
per year toward the support of good
public school, with the understanding
that those who pay shall have the
benefit of the increased time the
school is taught.
He has no children to send, but will
DO this for the general good of the
town. This is patriotic, and he de-
serves praise for it. The Exchange
will joiu in this movement, and will
cheerfully pay timilar tax. How
many Others will help? Let us have
an early and generous response. If
any citizen wishes to learn further de,
tails, we will cheerfully divide our
information of the plan with him.
Let us rally and boom the matter
now.

proper to treat me free of charge,

the gift. But 1 claim the right to
thus publish my thanks, as / have
done for other contributions to nv

l publish this at my own expense,
but l am free to confess that DR.. Kel.

sixty dollars but with a degree of
health which has been worth a great
deal for two months past, and if it
continues some time will be worth
