The Supreme Court having sus­ tained Mayor McFarland in find­ ing Thomas Mitchell guilty of violat­ ing thri Beal law, Thomas appeared before the Mayor Tuesday morning by request. He had been fined $2001 and costs but refused to pay, | rather taking his chance at the broom works in Xenia. Mitchell was taken to the workhouse the some day to begin serving his time* Only a-few days ago he paid a fine of $200 for another offense. There was another turn when Mitchell reached the work house. Be had C. M.. Ridgway notify his attorney before leaving here and oy the time he arrived in Xenia a writ of habeas corpus was ready for turn. Mitchell was only m the works long enough to get one meal and a bath when he was allowed his freedom. He was released on bond until next week when he must appear before Judge Shoup on the writ. - A Communication On the School House. ENTERS HIS FOURTH YEAR. Next Sunday Rev. R. B. Wilson will,enter upon his fourth year as pastor of the First Presbyterian church qf this city. Mr. Wilson’ s three yeai s pastorate here lias been an especially popular one and by his earnest endeavors he' has ac­ complished much, good for the church of which he is the head. In starting out on his fourth year we are sure that the reverend gentle­ man has not only tho best wisheS’ of all his parlshoners, but of all his ac­ quaintances regardless of church affiliation, Both he and Mrs. Wil­ son occupy a warm place in the regard of Croswell’s citizens, and it is is pleasing to know that they-will continue with us for another year atteast,—Samlacjeffersonlab, Cros- well. Michigan,. SELMA WRECK, The reasons urged for a new school house are these; The house is too small; the water is bad; it is a noisy place. •The first’ objection is lintenriabh. We visited the school on the 10th of May In: three of the rooms from 10 a. m.‘ till noon. We found in Prof. Masterson’s room 80 pupils; m Miss Andrew's room 36 pupils; in Mr. Randall’s room 41 pupils; one room unoccupied; entire seating ca­ pacity 480; 7-8 x 107 in ail the rooms 285, which is about 60per cent of en­ tire seating capacity. Room on the hill wits not visited. Supposing 40 pupils there, only about 1*8 per cent of the seating capacity of the build­ ing in question would be occupied if all the pupils there m school were in the present building. As to the second objection, it is said the analysis just made reports the water “ alright.” As to the third objection that it is too noisy: The writer was a student in the Albany Normal Sohodl. on State street then paved, with cobble where tho roar and rattle of vohicles wa» incessant. Lessons were learned and the noise became a matter of no moment. During the two . hours spent va the three rooms two trains 1pa?sed. The objection like unto the others is frivolous. Is it wise to Incur a School dis­ trict indebtedness and further in­ crease taxation, while we are \riii:- .out water works, proper light, not a sewer nor paved street? It is proposed to issue $00,0t'0 in bonds for tho purpose redeemable in 30years,if available at 4 per cent in­ terest which is doubted, I f this re­ demption were forborne until the expiration it would require a sink­ ing fund of $97^301,04, Yet we are told taxes would not be increased. If it takes the entire 12 mills now levied to run the schools, where does the interest and redemption funds eminate? Take out your pencil and figure it. At the end of the year interest at 4 per cent and $1009 re­ demption is $2200 additional tax to raise which _is, 4 4-14 mills on the dollar of the assessed district valu­ ation beiiig 84,40 additional tax on every $1000 of valSation. Untold evtravagaine is afflicting the American people. Ostentatious environments are not essential to education. Cerent men are stu­ dents all their lives, and m air ave­ nues of life must be to succeed. Increased taxation keeps .people away. Water works, paVedfttreets, good lights, low taxes, bring people of means to Cedarville and furnish- • es employment. The good school element it already has. R. H. SUNDAY SCHOOL PROGRAM.
