IDENTIFY space is not valuable thing
with them. Why not own up and say
that when you see good thing you
know it and appropriate it?
Speaking again of the matter of the
distribution of the surplus money in
the hands of the school districts, we
are more and more convinced by
closer examination of the laws, and
by the opinion of several with whom
we have consulted and communicated,
that the money will belong to the dis
tricts We have no space here to give
reasons or arguments, but will risk for
the present the above conclusions, land
dictum.
The Peerless Co. have been very
much troubled to get their cloths
and other goods from the manufac-
turers as fast as they have been need
ed in their factory here. There seem
/
trains of late, perhaps caused by the
storms and a great press of business.
President Emerson was up last week
looking after the matter. Meanwhile
the force of help is being increased
every week.
Do not get interested in those cir
culars that are coming into town ev-
cry now and then, stating that some
body has a sort of ''goods" for sale
on which wonderful profit can be
made. The goods are counterfeit
money, and the passing of the same
is states prison effense. And do not
take stock in any offer made by any
body to give you a dollars worth of
goods for 25 cents. Such things are
frauds and designed to humbug the
people.
