Milt Watson is working for James
Sears.
The Crown correspondent is Just
little too careless about gathering the
particulars about the broken rule and
what cruel acts some teachers perform
for small offense; Miss Gardner,
teacher at Union, makes an efficient
secretary of the literary. If the Crown
correspondent will study the questions
thoroughly that are discussed at Union
Literary he will no doubt become of the
same opinion of the professors that. re.
signed their positions in the Stanford
University that pupils in the schools
should hear both sides of all questions.
ED Parker is working faithfully on
his assessing this township.
Little Roland eAlbaugh is quite sick.
Mrs. Mary CARRIER had a siege of the

Mrs. Goodson and Miss Martin have
