This property Is at a low esti mate worth $30,000 and Is an Ideal lo cation for a high school. It means much to Illllsboro to secure the prop erty and as It now stands the property Is absolutely of no value to anyone. Expensive litigation Is going on In the courts and a valuable and beauti ful property Is unused. The Method ist Conference years ago abandoned the property and havo at two different times endeavored to give It to Illllsboro forschool purposes. o Is the opportunity for It to show wheth er It Is an Indian giver. The stock holding trustees aro all prominent olt zensof this place and now luve an op portunity to show their public spirit by agreeing to take a small sum for their claims. The board of education have offered these parties $0,000 for their Inter ests and the people by an almost unan imous vote have said that they are willing to pay that sum. Now let the Methodist Conference show Its good faith and the stock-holding trustees their public spirit and the question of proper facilities for our public schools Is settled for years.
