Nv eorse this did suite the idse nv the

phase. Muteh was sed on both sides
until at last, Poheta's grate orator riz
tn bis fete. This truly CRATE man, q
man who he'd the unlimited comfy
dense uy the people until they got
bettur aek wanted sed, that it dId not

The next weak appersd az aFtikle

was tellin q falshud. The artikle
stOpt rite thar, an did not sho whar
the falshud was. The Orthur findin

tu bring forward prufe. 1 found out
afterwards thet the ritter Nv the abav
was Pohetas singin teacher. 1 don't
adEacsly meme thet he Fit Il, fur bsin
a bad ritter hisself, (all uv his tallints
runnin tu musick and piayin the
shuckin kOrn fur him tu do Il. In
the menetime aWl wus eggsitement, a
speshul meetin was kalied fur the 16
Nv FEBRUARY, tu lokate nu site fur
the skule hous, an speshul meetins
was held twise q mite in aWl the
houses IN the west side nv the dees-
trict an ended with big cOnVsnshun
won Saturday mite in the skule hous.
It was at this meetin thet Pohetas
ritch man riz tn his fete, an arter
drOppin his chin 50 thet his Use cud
see the beds nv his awgence sed, that
the rltehest wea on the west side Nv
the deestrict an there was Whar the
skule shud be. Thet the peple Mvin
on the hills wer poor trash, an the
skule shud be mere the ritch mans
door even II he he'd no children tu
send tu Il, and thet soshaly, the est
side Nv the deestfict las kompared
with the west side) were as the north
eTn mudsils with the suthrin shivelry.
In the menetime the este side were
not idle. They called a korkus an
votid tn hev the skule site on the
southwest korner NV John Blzler's
pastur.
Thar was a nice plase fur q skule an
mere 3 good well uy water. Thar Wus
the Plase whar our little oliy branshes
cud get fresh drink, an gamble in
the water trOf. Thar was the phase
Whar the skulemarm cud bathe her
heaiid brow, and come her back hare.
There WIS the hest place in the hole
deestriet fur a skule hous.
But for the sake uv harmony and a
degree ia plese The aristycrats NV the
west side. the peple from the hills
went tu the electnn an volid TO hey
the site locatid in the senter NV the
deestrict which is in the senter NV q
section an several miles frum nowhar,
but all In vane. The west side will
not be plesed. The good book saws,
bettur a dinner NV YARDS with con-
tentmint than roast critter with
discomfort. They hev the diseOntent
but no roast eritier but We still hope
fur harmony foI without II there will
be no skule hOus bilt an il j. mulch
