TO BUILD GRADED SCHOOL
Agitation That Was Started
Nearly 20 Years Ago Settled
In Big Town Meeting

Arlington, March 2.-The annual
town meeting held Tuesday March
win go down in the history of the
town as unique, without a precedent,
not only that it was more largely at.
tended than any one meeting in the
past fifty years, but that the question
of the erection of High school build
ing received what might well be
termed, a most vigorous handling.
This grew out Of an article In the
town warning calling for vote on the
advisab.lity OF resembling the vote Of
last years town meeting appropriating
the sum of S35, 900 for the erection Of
a High school bu lding between Ar
lington and East Arlington. The re-
port of the building committee showed
that the land had been purchased, con-
tract s gned and actual work begun.
1t is not necessary to go into the
motives OF the opponents in seeking
to overthrow the action OF the last
town meeting for the vote showed con
c'usively that the arguments, If such
they were, we're decidedly unconvinc-
ing to say the least. There were S31
votes CASTS to rescind as against
246 not to rescind.
Thus the matter is closed and the
new school bu lding will be completed
by next September 1t looked at one
time as If the life OF our peaceful vii
lage would be suddenly and ruthlessly
thrown out of its orbit, but the stars
in their courses must have fought for
its old time peacefulness Sanity and
harmony have kissed each other We
are at peace A new prosperity
looms up large and our eyes are turn.

dren will rise up and call us blessed.

CHAPTER XVII

Out of the Hands of the PhIistines
mat night the Mar0ons broke loose
upon Jamaica. and began murder and
depreciation against which the cover
Lors activities were no check Estates
We're invaded, and men, women and
children killed, or carried into the
mountains and held as hostages. In
The middle and western part Of the
island the ruin0us movements went ON
without being stayed; planters and
people generally rallied at the cover
nor and said that through his neglect
these dark things were happening. It
was said he had failed to punish Of
lenses by the Maroons, and this had
given them confidence, filling them
with contempt and disdain. They had
one advantage not possessed by the
government troops and militia-they
were masters of every square rod of
land in the middle ana west of the
island. Their plan was to raid, to am
bush, to KIN without mercy and to
excite the slaves to rebel.
The first assault and repulse took
place not far from EnniskiIlen, Dyek
Calhoun's plantation. and Michael
Clones captured Il Maroon who was
slightly wounded
Michael challenged him thus: Come
now, my blitherin friend. tell US
what's your trouble-why are YOU
risin'? What's your grievance? You
don't do this without cause-whats
the cause?'
The black man, naked except for q
cloth about his loinS and with a small
bag at his hip sIung from a cord over
his shoulder, showed his teeth in a
stark grlmace.

before we've done. They can't con-
que1 us, for we can hide and ambush
here, and shoot those that come after
US. We hide. one behind this rock and
one behind that, never more than two
or three together and we're safe.
Youlf see; Well capture captains and
generals, and Wen cut their heads off
and bury them in their own CUTS"
He made an ugly grimace, and a
loathsome gesture, and Michael Clones
felt the man ought to die. He half
drew his sword. but, thinking better
Of it, he took the Maroon to the castle
and locked him up in a slaves hut,
having first bound him and put him
in the charge Of one he could trust.
But as he put the man away, he said :;
You talk of your people being able
TO hide and men not bCNg able to
find you; but did you never hear Of
bloodhounds that can smeI you and
hunt you down, and chew lou up2
Did you never hear Of them?'
The mans face wrinkled like a rag,
for there was one thing the native
