Our Sabbath School Superintendent has
cotton himself in boat. He owed Mr..
Scholler for work the latter had done on
his house and promised to pay for the
same out of the store. He accordingly
called on Mr. Hanna our Township Trus-
tee and represented Mrs. Scholler as being
in destitute condition, she having lived
upon nothing but greens for number of
DAYS, and asked for an order on the
county. After talking Mr.. Hanna's arm
loose he got the order. Mr.. Hutchinson
owed Mr.. Scholler bill for labor and
had sent them wagon load of provisions.
So they were not destitute but only wan
ted their pay from the pillar of the
church This is an insult to Mrs. Schol-
Ter and she is indignant, and Mr.. Hanna
is not in the best of bumor. Dame
Rumor says that the people who have
had help from this same old fraud have
not received all of the goods the county
has allowed them. If he wants to be on
the county or have the county pay his
debts let him present a petition and not
whip the devil around the stump.
