In the year 1851, tne ACT kuoWH dS
A Rare Diplomacy was perpetrated.
The Reverend Doctor Cutler of, Con-

man, entered into secret compact
and accomplished deal that death
alone prevented congressional inves-
tigation
DR.. Cutler possessed that smooth
voice and easy manner, the essential
qualification Of all confidence men.
He readily won the confidence of
Benjamin Franklin and others. The
Col Duer furnished the means and
the Doctor the diplomacy. The New
England, Ohio and Scioto companies
secured tracts OF land from congress
aggresating over 100000 acres.
The purchase price, one dollar per
acre. was many times it's actual cost
After deducting one-third for alleged
bad lands and various prerequisites
and discount upon script. the actual
amount Congress received was eight
cents per acre. So. this deal lacked
eight cents per acre of being ''clear

counties In the state pay lower
wages to It's country teachers than
Athens. Seventy per cent. of the
country teachers of this county are
females. The male teachers are

fund nearly $4,000 for the alleged

The methods OF obtaining thos same
deserve our attention. The greater
portion was obtained by extremely
low valuation. and by high percentage
