j tve beg the people to come together
jin this matter and make immediate
i .in'a"gi mi nt.- to build a -chool house
and secure a tirst class man to put

which we may lend our earnest co-op

It evinces an idea that the people are
slothful and inactive to the higher ele

Douglas were not com; natively anew
