the speeches of Capt. Goggans, Col. .1.
H. Wharton, Messrs \V. P. Culbertson,
J. D. Hunter, and Ross Young along
educalional 'ines, not -politics, and
especially Mr. Hunter who has moved
off, but said his heart was with us
in school work and we need never be
afraid to vote any amount of taxes on
his property in this district as he was
only too glad to contribute to the good
of any school and especially Mt. Pleas
ant, where he had spent six years of
the best of his life as teacher. We
also had soine recitations from the
pupils of the school and Miss Latimer
of the Oakville school, all of which
were very good, especially Miss Lati
mer.
We also had the pleasure of meet
ing our friends Messrs 11. A. Wharton
.1ud Langston, F. 11. Baldwin and farm

Dinner-well all who came to Mt.

can prepare a feast. There was no
speaking after dinner.
