We hear good deal Of grumbling
about the spelling contest which is to
take place at the the Hosford House
tonight. 1t seems some would rather
had it in the school house, others in
the hall; some thought it we'll to have
short program with the spelling;
others seem to kick at that also, and
say let them spell in the school house
and if they want play let them go to
Cresco and hire the Opera House for
the purpose 1t seems as though.they
ought to use some reason. Last spring
nearly everybody said the program
was pretty short, and when we look
at it from all sides we are forced to
believe that the parties who have ar
ranged things have done as well as
others might have done, it is certainly
impossible to please everybody.
