Lenox - In an item in the Nicholson Examiner some smart scribe came down quite heavy on the matter of cost in educating the children of this township, claiming that our school had but two scholars now. As far as that goes, it is fact, but the scribe failed to give the reasons for it. The school has been vacant the last two years, and the appropriation has gone to Hopbottom, taking that amount of money from town. Now there are scholars enough to have quite a good sized school but a few of the parties that have children to send belong to the ring and prefer to send their children somewhere else and have tried every way to break up the school, in so doing. Now then, if they succeed in what they have undertaken, then the town of Lenoxville will be under the necessity of hiring a man and team to take these same scholars to Hopbottom at an expense of not less than two dollars per day and most of these same scholars live in sight of the school house. They have a teacher that stands at the head of the class to look after the school, but Mr. Editor, it is a clear case of Ring Rule or would be Rule or Ruin. It's too bad to let such petty jealousies enter the brain, but it is like the boy who was riding horse back and crying. A man asked what he was crying about. He said, "I am cold." "Get off and walk," the man replied. "It is a borrowed horse and I will ride him if I freeze." Now these same men will send their children miles to school and lose a half day each time, rather than have them sent to school at home, free of charge, for no other reason than to get the appropriation over to Hopbottom. Come now, be fair and keep this money in Lenox. Don't send it out of the town because some one else wants you to. Those living nearest the school should be the most interested in keeping up the good reputation of our schools.

NEWS BRIEF - "Another Fool Trick"- It is said that agents are operating in this vicinity with electric belts. The belts are sold for $3 each. If the day is warm when the belt is worn a burning sensation is felt and the wearer gets an idea that he is receiving a current of electricity. The burning is caused by some dry mustard which has been placed in the belt under a piece of gauze. The agents operate only in the country and small villages.
