Hints At CARD PLAYING

The following letter has been re-

To the Editor of THE EVENING

Sir: am glad to know through
THE EVENING JOURNAL that there
is TO be a meeting Of the people OF
the Townsend school district. II il
was not for your notice none would
have known il but the School Board.
All notices of town or school elections
are written on one-half Of a sheet of
small note paper and put in an incon-
spicuous place Hence only four or
FIVE persons are at any meeting or
election
There has apparently been no effort
to find out who set fire to the school
house Il is alleged that the janitor
and County Constable Timmons have
frequently seen lights in the school
house. and others have also seen
them. and IL is supposed young men
of the town were playing cards there.
In fact II IS alleged, one prominent
citizen walked in on them one night.
and reported the circumstance to the
Town Commissioners, but that ended
IT, as they we're sons or relatives OF
prominent citizens Another phase
of the situation is that the school
house was in a delapidated condition.
and a minority wanted a new school
house and attributed the fire to an
act of Providence.
