ro our READERS.

Owing to scarcity of competent
help and the encroachments OF our
advertisers who are using more
space than usual, and also to very
heavy run eff business in our job
department, the NEWS is not up to
it's usual high standard of excel
lence this week. We regret this ex-
ceedingly, and promise, If forgiven
this time to make a better paper
next week II il takes our only shirt.
We have but one.
THE COLUMBUS HIGH SCHOOL.
Let it be understood that the Bax-
ter NEWS will fight the pauper high
school robbery until 1t is abolished
This is the only paper in the county
making the fight now, but there
will be others. We know the ma
jority of the taxpayers and four
fiths of the farmers are opposed to
Il. Hundreds of our best farmers
are commencing US for our course
in this fight and say they will stand
by us with money and influence
till we win.
There are several ways to knock
the scheme out of existence and II
now remains to decide on the best
plan of action, but II is necessary
to organize in every township and
appoint committees to meet and
unite on the best mode. Two of
our best attorneys mot Baxter law
yers, who may have voted for io
say the call was irregular and IL
legal and that the commissioners
and trustees should be enjoined
from further action till decision
can be had i'm the court.
But whether we act Immediately
or wait for the Legislature and get
an act of resubmission, il is vitality
important that the question should
be agitated and kept before the
people. Every voter in the county
should be well informed as to the
merits of the caae. Under the plea
of education" an infamous crime
has been committed. 1t ia like put
ting the devil in gown and cossack.
There ia no merit in the case. II
is simply pauper school in Col
