n the academy. but while he was there he was
verry poplar becaus they wasent ennything he woodent
do for his classmaits.

so i gess he was rite when he told old J. Ward
what he did about old docter Soule. father sed he
tride to get back onct moar and he thougt they had
augt to have gave him one moar chanct. if he cood
have been xpelled onct moar he cood beet enny feller
whitch ever went to the academy he was verry
mutch disapointed when they woodent give him another
try so he cood be xpelled onct moar.

so when we had the nex meating of th Teribl 3
i wanted them to mark old docter Soule to paist sum
nite but they woodent do it becaus they sed we was
all townies and we woodent notise the academy.
Pewt and Beany was gelous becaus Pewts father
and Beanys father hadent never been xpelled from
nowhere. they thougt i was showing off but i
wasent.

Peeliky Tiltons granfathers door becaus he put tin
cans and broaken glass bottels and old hoopskerts
and wire into the swiming hole at sandy bottom and
we cant swim there enny moar. i dont know jest
what we will do to him. it seams as if slingshots
or roten egs aint bad enuf. we will try to scair him
to deth ferst and then we will do sumthings to him
that he will never forget in his life even if he lives
to be 200 years old. the sine sed this old man Tilton
