A law ought to be passed fixing

as a thief the secures
money or goods by false pretense

dead beat ought to be treated the
same way for he in fact belongs to
the same class. By the unwritten
law of trade and commerce he

As I see no else seems to

I will write you a few words com-
on the same. So far I
have been the only one to write
in a few lines under our

ask if some of thereat of the teach-
will not help us out.
The column in your
paper will be an aid to education
in our county if the teachers will
only inn lest enough interest to
keep the principle going.
To write a few lines for
in our column does not require
a great effort, and if some of the
teachers will take one sixteenth of
the interest it that was taken in
and at the in
the educational column
will become very interesting.
I know young ladies
haven't a great preference for
writing letters for public perusal,
but it is a well fact that
young men have done such things,
and it looks to me like some of our
male might
modify their subjects give us a
piece for Educational Depart-
I do not mean by the above to
exclude ladies by any means.
I know the ladies are just as com-
to give us interesting
as any the male teach-
and I think if the will
only give us a start ladies will
follow, for it is already a
tact that a is going to have
the last word anyhow. Some may
say they not able or
write a piece, but there was not a
issued to one at all
who is not fully competent to give
us something interesting on the
subject of education.
Most of the teachers in this
county arc ladies so I must
say to them that we cannot get
along without them. Let's see
who is the first to write us a piece.
Don't be timid or bashful, but
just take you pen blaze away.
I hope none of the male teachers
are too timid . to write
us a but I guess all
right. Such weeds don't grow in
a man's crop.
