teacher Of the school became sick and
Bro. Foglcr was engaged to complete the
term He did so successfully, although
some of the scholars were as old or Older
than himself. Then he taught other
schools, and his services began to be
sought from hard districts where the schol-
ans We're in the habit of putting the teach
er out But Bro. Fogler always complet-
ed his terms. Finally he was sent for to
teach school on an island on the coast,
where the scholars were mostly fishermen.
They seldom had a school at that place,
because they could not get teachers capa-
bic of holding the position. Well, Bro.
Fogler accepted, and his friends all look
ed forward to seeing him return home i'll

Mi. Dunton said he learned later, not from
Bro. Foeler. that the first day there was Il
teacher and scholars. and the second day
the crisis came The speaker made no
explanations. but significantly added that
Brp. Foger taught out the term MI.
Dunton said he well remembered the first
speech le heard Bro. Fogler make. 1t
became necessary to repair the little old
blackboard was agitateG. AS the cost
would be three or four dollars it was a
subject of serious consideration. At the
school meeting this improvement came up
for discussion, and it was suggested that
William Fogler, having had some expert
ence in teaching. should be called upon.
Bro. Fogler arose and said: Il wouldn' t
teach school without blackboard :"
That settled it. The blackboard was pro-
vided, and the speaker said he was indebt-
ed to Bro. Fogler for that aid in his early
education. Then came the war of the Re-
bellion, when Bro. Fogler gave his ser
vices to his country. The speaker said he
recalled the events of those days well, but
was too young to 90 to the front himself.
He had just glimpse of Bro Fogler as
he rode about the country existing men
for a company. 1t was but brief
glimpse, a few words, and Bro. Foglel
passed out of sight, but not out of memo
~ Referring briefly to his military ser
vice and to his subsequent career as a
lawyer, Nh Dunton said that Bro Foglel
won his way entirely unaided; he had been
dependent upon his own eNertionS. teach
ing school or working in the cooper shop
or the bayfield, to earn the money to fit
him for his profession. He spoke of the
desire long felt in Waldo county that Bro
Fogler should receive a judicial appoint
ment. position which his legal Abilities
sense Of justice. and OTHER attainments.
eminently quality him to fill. Although
Col. Fogler has moved from Waldo coun-
ty the same feeling exists. This seemed
to voice the sentiments OF all present. and
was received with great applause. In
! closing Mr.. nunton said that While for
many years he and Bro. Foge1 had been
of opposing counsel there had never been
any unkind feelings. nor had their aoree-
ments ever been placed in vritinm Their
