There seems to be a misunder¬
standing on the part of some as to
the terms of the Ellaville High
School and for the benefit of all in¬
terested w'e give below the condi¬
tions upon which the Trustees em¬
ployed Mr. Stevens.
1st he was employed to teach a
private school of ten scholastic
months at $1.50, $2.00 and $2.50 per
month payable monthly or as the
patrons may contract privately, the
patrons receiving credit for the
public school fund, We merely
state this much to correct tlie im¬
pression that he is teaching a three
months public school and that you
are entitled to three months tuition
free or on the credit of the public
school fund this was not the con¬
tract made with Mr. Stevens and
every patron of the school will be
charged the rates above specified
ami be credited with whatever %
the public fund pays.

One reason they sell cheaper than some houses, is this, they don’t throw

each Piano and a Stool and Instruction Book with each Organ, and noth¬
