As has been stated number OF times
in this paper, the editor is not RESPONSE

regular correspondents) to be as brief as
possible in their letters. The GLOBE is
not large enough to publish as lengthy
letters as II it were the size OF the Ex-
anliner, N. Y. World and other large
papers.

usual appropriations for graded and
state schools, which is very proper.
The scheme to annex portion of Grant

howl for division Of the county.
