FARMINGTON

/ Ihe quarterly ference, which was 20
have been held here on August 18th, las
been postponed, and the announcement
/ that the District Steward will preach at
Staytonsville Church has been cancelled.
The rain of Monday was a splendid help
to the farm crops.
The school house here will be repaired:
atleast, one of the rooms will be repaired.
The school board has decided to close up
one OF the rooms entirely and have but
one teacher for the next year. The sum
to be expended is said to be about 81 so
in all. This shows that the children Of
Pennington are to be robbed of a part Of
their opportunity to get an education, so
that the narrow-minded people of Farm.
ington can save just a few pennies for
each taxpayer from the amount of their
school taxes each year. There is no
question as to what is the matter with
Pennington it is already dead so far as
any public spirit and desire for better
public school conditions 60. Greenwood
and Harrington will soon get what is left
OF Pennington, if there is anything left
worth getting.
We have an opportunity to purchase
the NJ. p. Church here at a bargain. but
''0iN al & &c" PeopIe mere VINO are auX-
ious to have a more showy edifce to at
tend on Sundays, who are obiecting to
the purchase; and these same people are
the leaders in opposing any improvement
IN our public school The working men
should refuse to contribute towards anv
fund for a church until these obiectors to
the public school agree to get the best
for our children to attend
The public schools. Pennington is afflict-
ed with entirely too much pretended re- /
igious life, which borders upon selfish /
less and is influenced by sordid affairs.
Lets have an effort made as to how best
Ne can live, and get the most out of our
having lived for ourselves and for those
Who Will come after US. That's what is
he matter with Pennington now.
