He aaya that he la entirely too well acquainted with Mr. Fink, who play* the part of "Hello Boy" in that viUiage, and the young pencil puaher on the above named aheet, to ever think for a minute of going to that town for anything to eat. Where there are two such characters as they—only living to eat—it is no wonder there are so many poor half-starved looking residents in and about their Iowa. In last week's iaue of that rural sheet, the l'uuxsutawaey Spirit, there was an article concerning oae of our young men, who had gone over to that antediluvian town in order that he might get a little freeh air. They wllfblly misconstrued his intentions snd sakl that his purpose in going there wss to get something good to eat. The party charged with this piece of foolishncni denies the charge in most emphatic terms. Plenty of Both. Coin. va. Joseph Aiello. In the Court of Oyer and Terminer of Jefferson county.

THEREFORE, thirty-secondly, if we have failed to enumerate everything you need, don't forget we have it, for our stock covers every household necessity. Another vetaran of the 186th Rsgtmsnt Peon's Vetorn Volunteer* has had his n^s The reunion of the Jr., O, V. A. M. will very Ukely be quite a brilliant affair. At this writing the New Hethlehem Council No. 430, with the juvenile band, are in town, having arrived by the early morning train. The decorations are profuse and beautiful, old glory being vlsabte on all sides. Three large arches span the streets at diflerent points on Main street, and more are in ooorse of erection. The Star editor, of this town, has again taken up the cudgel of defense, and is striving In his own weak way to defend the principal, or the one. who posed as such, of our schools, during the term just closed, against what he calls an "attack" on that individual. He devotes almost a column of his breezy journal in denouncing theSpirit i correspondent as an untruthful writer, and in extolling the masterly qualifications of his patron saint. It is perhaps proper that Mr. Stephenson should champion the cause of Mr. Lenkard as it certainly needs leistering up, and no one has more of a motive fordoing so than the editor of the Star. That "there is method in his madness" is generally known ami commented on, but it is not known by the Simiiit readers that the correspondent has ever said aught against the schools, excepting as to the principal. The Spirit will lose none of its popularity by publishing the "facts ' notwithstanding the Star's opinion that it is naughty to do so. "Scores of people," so the article says, "thifrk it is a shame and an outrage" that I | should say anything against I'rof Lenkerd. We. the fwople of Reynoldsville, know the whyfore of the kick, etc. I would just state that the kick is not a solitary one, it is too numerous to mention, and were I to state i verbatim all the fads connected with the management of our schools the editor of the Star would have to break in on another column in order to have space enough to vindicate his idol. It is wrong to relleet on the honesty of the children who have attended the schools during the late term, yet the Star says they are dishonest. "As if any parent was compelled to contribute for this and that, their offspring simply worked them for pin money." How about commencement exercises ? "More pin money.'' as this was a twenty-live cent per night draw it must have been for safety or hair pins. " We understand this and we understand that, we feel positive and we don't believe" are assertions frequently made by the editor. He is very guarded in his statements, and the "we understand" suits much better than coming out plainly and stating facts. They are stubborn things and the wily editor steers shy of them. I do not wish to get into further controversy regarding this matter, but if I am driven to it will relate more facts than have yet been m ade public. "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in yoar philosophy," and don't you forget it. I am not standing alone in this little warof words, and although urged to Npeak plainer than I have yet done, have forebore to do so. It is not a personal matter with me as the editor of the Star would like to make it appear. It is of interest to every citizen of our town to have the very best talent procurable at the head of our schools. One who will command the respect teachers and pupils, who can control without being arbitrary, and whose mental caliber is such that there can be no danger of enlargement of the head. Our school board is composed of men of intelligence who will govern themselves accordingly when the proper time comes for selecting a principal Intoreatinx Thinxi Which Have Hap ponod Since lA8t Wednesday.
