Views were given from the worlds fair grounds, and also of prominent streets and noted buildings in several of the large western cities. MT.

(Moose Meadow correspondenceJ
 MT. Editor-Dear Sir: An article in the Willington news in your issue of the 18th, think gives a wrong impression of Moose Meadow people, as I haven't found any one opposed to school or dissatisfied with it. In fact don't see how any one can be dissatisfied with what don't exist. Some one has written that even a worm may turn when trod upon. The school board in this town have got us down, and now they kick us. Some of the parents in Moose Meadow do object to sending their children so far on these lonely roads in town where licentious criminals are not arrested. These things, together with such days as the 11th of even the balmy month of April, are worry to those who have feeling for the children. J. L. ENo.
