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

We also had the pleasure of meet
ing our friends Messrs 11. A. Wharton
