The citizens living around and about
the Hunting Creek schoolhouse some time
in the past petitioned fora bridge to span
Hunting Creek at Geisbert's Ford near

dwindled down until the attendance some
days was so small as to compel school to
close. But along comes Jack Frost and
built bridge and the children could cross

school, showing that the children are
eager to receive an education if they have
half a chance, but Jack is preparing to
leave and then the bridge will leave and
the scholars leave the school. Is not this
a matter worth the attention of the tax
payers and persons interested in the ed
