Emily Sipple is i'll at this time.
Mr.. A. Carter and family have occupied
the Raughley farm.
I take the privilege of correcting the
letter, that was printed the Milford
Chronicle January 81, 1913, under the
Brownsville Items.
In reply l will say, our school district,
No. SO, is located about half mile from
the village of Brownsville, in thriving,
agricultural district, with bright thriving
children to crown the prospects of the fll-
ture. And it is a shame that the writer OF
the "letter mentioned is so polluted with
the idea. that the parents of the children
that attend tile school, should be so
ignorant of their duties at home to allow
their children to become infested with
such an insect, termed 'Pediculus" or
(lice). |, for myself, and also the rest
of the district, think that the writer of
the letter let it be who it may, has but
verv little respect for the children or
their teacher to put such a dirty letter
before the public to read and probably
for their own children to read and know
the disgrace placed upon them. For such
a thing is not the case in our school,
And it surely is a shame to think that
the writer of the past letter" would
have you believe that the entire school
district is polluted with the dreadful pest.
The writer wanted a remedy for the
same. will give them the best remedy
that I know Of If they ever have the
misfortune to have the little creepers,
lust catch them and kill them.
