The inhabitants and legal voters of
school district No. 2, met at the school
house in said district on Saturday the
10th inst, and voted to sustain a term
of school in the spring, of eight weeks
making in al! forty-two weeks of school
for the year ending June 3Oth, 1889.
District No. supports more school
than any other district in town, and al
ways has first class teacher. The at
tendance is as good as any school in the
town or county. There is mhc5im
pYovemcnt over what it was sumes ~
ado when the district had but little
school, and was the terror of the sur
rounding country. 1t was hard to find
a good teacher to take the school.
Some years ago murderOus assault
was made on the clerk of the district
at special school meeting, by party
of ruffians who were upheld by some
who were opposed to the clerk and his
election to the Office. The records of
the district would have been destroyed
but for the presence of mind of the
clerk who chung to the books and pa
pers, prefering to take the blows of
his assailants rather than abandon his
charge. Only one of the brutes was
punished, his fine was paid by his
friends. But all this is changed now,
the affairs of the district are now in the
hands of good and efficient men who
do all in their power to have good
school. A new school house has taken
the place of the old tumble down affair,
and the ground is laid out in good
taste. The school is in fine working
order, and all ill feelings have passed
away or are never allowed to appear.
