Starr Locals.

The perusal of s"Tom's'' communication
of last week afforded us much real pleas
ure. However, .'Tom" cannot reasonably
hope to constitute himself an exception to
"erring humanity This being the case,
we beg leave, with all due respect to the
above mentioned and supposed gentle
men, to supplement his remarks by some
others of paramount importance. The
sum and substance of the matter is: We
think '"Tom's" wits must have been
slightly wool gathering when he failed to
refer. even indirectly, to our fourishing
Starr High School. Education being the
basis of all true wealth and prosperity,
how can we hope forsour 'Starrs" to ap.
pear unto others of the first magnitude, If
their educational interest is thus ignored :?
We are happy to say that our school is in
most prosperous condition in every way.
The teacher, Miss Minnie Bell, from Alb
beville, having had professional training,
of course is in every way fitted, to be mis-
tress Of the situation on all occasions.
We understand that the school will con-
tinue ten months. By united effort on
the part of both teacher and pupils, much
good results will doubtless. follow. We
go it on the principle that one can scarcely
have too much of good thing, hence our
~NS~
length on the school question.
as we have usurped the rightful place OF
the aspiring correspondent, to cap the ell
max, aud also to atone for it, we shall
limit few news gleanings.

criticism we shall, for the present, abdi
cate in .sTom's" favor. Long may he live
and soon may he reach the topmost rount
Of the ladder, in his chosen profession.
