The school could not hope to run with out the protection of an incorporation. Quite a number of the citizens within the corporate limits, especially those on the outskirts of the town favor the repeal of the town charter upon the idea that they would thereby be relieved of the bond issue; but this is a mistake for the county court would levy the tax on the same taxpayers in order to pay interest on the bonds. Besides, these citizens get the benefit of a free school, whereas they would have to send elsewhere or pay tuition, if they were to go out of the corporate limits.<br \/>\nIf anything along this line is done, we suggest that the charter of town be amended so as to cut down the corporate limits to a smaller area, and thus leave the contract with the school in full force and permit it to continue.<\/p>\n<p><b>Livingston R 2<\/b><br \/>\nSunday school was organized last Sunday at Taylors X Roads.<br \/>\nRev.
