The communication signed ''M. B."
in this issue voices the true sentiment
of large portion of the taxpayers o.
school district No. 9, and we do mol
think the trustees will be treating The
taxpayers with consideration if they dc
not provide an opportunity for an ex
preston on the question:" Shall the
name Of the school be changed?h
The more we think Of this matter the
more are we convinced the majority OF
the people in this school district are
unwilling to be placed in false attl.

matter is for the trustees to appoint g
day and have a ballot. Let the majority
rule.

in the up country Evans would have
best Smith in the first primary where
upon ssUncle Billy" after giving two Of
three snorts, replied ssI am gladsJohn
if the foods hurt Jaggery in the hrs
primary, it must have been a cyclone
that nit him in the second" and Johl
grinned and rode on.

institution name, and subject them
selves to modification later; wheneve
the caprice of some after-comers may de
eide the name is displeasing to them.
The library building erected now as ;
memorial, may, unless the matter i
defnately settled, become altogeth
er different than was intended. Sup
pose the building is put up, say at
cost of 5000, and in after years $500
more is added to it from another source
