PUBLIC SCHOOLS,

A good citizen of our town was
talking of our great need Of u pub
lie school, and bemoaning the pres
ent Unsatisfactory conditions, and
said rather sharply, why don't
the paper take this n after up? It's
a question of great Importance to
every parent, and to the commu-
nifty. A public journal ought to
have enough public spirit to work
for the good of the community,
from which it gets its living" We
modestly reply, that if this good
citizen would subscribe for the
Democrat, and read it, he would
know that we have again and again
"taken this matter up" we have
cried aloud for tie very thing he
wants, and not a voice has Joined
our cry. Not one has come to us
and said, "Friend, you are right,
and | am with YOU But not
outstanding, this good citizen
if he read this paper, would see that
we are making an earnest, unfal
tering fight for public schools and
a greater Lawrenceburg. He would
see that there stands at our mast
head, every week, a plea for a ten
months public school. Perhaps,
he would also see the injustice of
his complaint against us. He ex-
poets us to labor for the upbuilding
of the town, the education of his
children, the tightening Of the bur-
dens of his life, while he does not
SO much as aid us with the meagre
sum Oft years subscription. And
the strange part of it is that we are
doing it, and boarding ourselves.
This paper will be ALWAYS fou nd IN
the forefront in the advocacy of
every worthy cause. 1t will be the
fist and stoutest champion of the
towns uplift and bettermen.. So
spare your criticism. good brother,
and join efforts with us for the
common welfare. Stand by your
neighbors, support your home in
dustries, act in unison with home
people for "the greatest good to the
greatest number" and thus you
may accomplish something,
