1t is important that all OF the voters o.
/ this school district be present at the
meeting on Saturday Of this week, com
mencing at O'Clock, which the posted
notices say is for the purpose Of voting 4

general opinion is that on account o
the state and county levy being so muct
higher this year than last tjust mill'
higher) 1t will be difficult to vote {
larger than about 3-mill tax now fo-
school purposes. Some of our Taxpayers

favor six-months term of school now
instead Of nine, as had been the inten
ton; or to have the last three months
run by rate tax or subscription.
