He received two checks today $50.00 each and should have paid some bills. The business of the school is getting to large to be left during ~vacation] as it has been heretofore.

Mr. Brown had to discharge six in his department last Saturday about not reporting for work. After they acknowIedged their rong he took them back. No matter how important it is for us to get anything and have to get Mr. Logan consent he fails to give any satisfaction. One of our oxen became tender footed and we either had to stop the team or get one. After waiting a few days I came across a good one for $co.oo and I never could get his consent so I borrowed $s.oo from Mr. Brown to make the first payment.
