as he say, burning the wood belonging TO
the district and threatens the club with the
grand jury. "Jake" also says that we have
been repeatedly warned, etc. Now, Mr..
Editor, it would be superfuous to call
''Jake" liar; he simply won't tell the truth
where a lie will fit his purpose. There is
also an editorial in the same issue of the Truth
advising the prosecution of the T. r. G..
members for immaginary crimes against i'm
aginary laws. say imaginary because they

when such use shall be demanded by ma

Since the 7th of November last we have met

No wood has been charged to the district,

The trustees are Democrats; that is correct. |
One year ago there were two Republicans on
he board and the scboolhouse was then, as
low, used for public purposes. The Demo-
rats of this place have ever been courteous,
while having large majority they have al
owed Republicans to hold the offices of JUS
ice, road supervisor and school directors

holding an office where the Republicans had
majority? Now we favor a nonpartisan
chool board, but if the decent Republicans
endorse "Jake's" sentiments we can and will
make the board Democratic. In conclusion,
