Some were glad to gather to- gether their books on Tuesday, while others were loath to do so, but, sor- ry or glad, the most of the schoo) scholars were on the job at nine o’- clock that morning. Those who had been successful at the examinations were eager to enter their new classes or forms and com- mence the new work ahead, with a determination to conquer the diffi- met them and to do great things in the days to come. Others who had not been so fortun- ate on the exams, would not so eages- ly take up their duties. We hope, hat they too entered with -% = any trouble with any of the rest o our neighbors or aly one else and ne one can justly cast any reflection on our reputation. In order to avoid trouble we al- lowed Mrs. Frank and family privi- legés we did not think belonged to them, such as trespassing on our pro- perty and breaking berry bushes and plum trees. Two years ago they went beyond the limit by digging up the slope of our lawn and we took action against them. The magistrate impos- ed a fine of $1.00-and costs with the warning that if she was brought in- to Police Court again she would get the full extent of the law as he coula fine her a great deal more. We hea our place surveyed and through the advice of Magistrdte Hamilton erect- ed a lattice fence. The posts were put in immediately but delayed put- ting up the fence for over a year, however in our own interest we were compelled to go on with the work. The fence was erected and during the time it was painted every precaution was used not to damage any part or their property for we have always acted the part of ladies with enough’ principal to not be guilty of damag- ing anybdoy’s property. However, three-quarters of the fence was paint- ed we noticed small green specks 0» paint on the side of Mrs. Frank's house which unfortunately we thought may accidently and unknown to us, spurted over during sometime while painting the fence. We did nor wait for any complaint or notice but immediately went to Mr. Bean and asked him to come up and either clean or paint it or do whatever wa» required to make it satisfactory as we were willing to-pay him the en tire cost of the work. After Mr. Bean completed the cleaning he asked Mrs. Frank if she was satisfied with the work or cleaning of the house and \she said yes. We were under the im- ‘pression that everything was satis- | factory. But a week later there was fresh {paint splashed or daubed all voer the base board and foundation of the Frank house directly under the place where Mr. Bean had cleaned the pre- vious week. We immediately had Mr. Bean come up again to prove it was ious week and we could prove that we hadn’d done any painting after Mr. Bean cleaned the little specks off her house. However they took acti against us the next day an case swore that we painted all the following week but when asked fo definite Information gtheir evidence was so confused that our solicitor, Mr. Mamilton, threatened to apply tc the Magistrate to dismiss the matter . Frank swore that she had not purchased any paint for two oy three years but when evidence was produced that she had purchased 4 pint of paint in the morning of the day we noticed the fresh paint daubed on er house she admitted it but claimed it was grey paint, The green paint that was usea was a much lighter green then we used on our fence and the part of the fence they swore we painted and splashed their house is still unpaini- ed As to the case referred to in the Banner of last week, we again caught Mrs. Frank breaking our berry bushes two weeks ago and the top of a plum tree was broken some time previous. Mrs. Frank admitted to the Magistrate that her daughter Miss Frank wilfdlly broke the plum tree. And as We caught Mrs. Frank breaking the berry bushes the case was not dismissed through lack of truthful ewidence to convict them but was considered supposing she did break three or four dollars worth of berry bushes it wasn't getting us anything. The pee was dismissed by us paying $5.00 court costs and Mrs, Frank paying her own costs. So if the parties who are so ready to criticize us would place themselves in our position and under the same circumstances they probably would not have stood for one-half as much as we We are not going to allow our- selves t obe placed in a false position before the public and are publishing the true facts f tohe case and are prepared to confirm every statement made in this publication.
