A very pleasant and tatiefactory intetvlew was granted by hlljali bmith, tho president b! tbe company, and it was learned positively that there is no foundation for many of the reports now in circulation.

Mr. Smith said "The question is absurd, t bad no idea 'that such a rumor was cur rent and there U abaolutely no founda tion for such stories. In fact tho sub ject is too ridiculous fur sunu diecuoion.

And not a soul in Sumner Hut would her course condone, Had she given a disdainful sniff , And straightway journeyed home. Hut she's taken up her burden, And bears it with good will, To teach the youth of Sumner, In our Echoolhouso on tho hill. Tiio poor old ntovo is bluffed 'Til it dikes a rnddy line, Hut etill tho pupils shiver And tho teacher's noeo looks blue ; Now ono und till ugreo that they yill tako a mortal chill, If forced to tarry longer In our E'.'hoolhoiuo on tho hill , Now for a now school building We'll ask the powers that bo, And if they do not hear us Thoy vory soon will eeo; That we'll make a merry bouflio And do It with good will, 01 our poor old leaky echoolhouso Our echoolhouso on tho hill.
