Ii the issue of the 18th inst. an arti-
Gle appeared relative to the conduct of
some school boys in certain school
near the city. An impression has gone
forth among the good citizens of that
community that an Intentional injus-

The time is soon coming by prophets

When the hoes, with our hands, we

Then dig, dig. dig. from sun up till

We will strive to make something for
the people in town.
