Mr.. J. L. Hillard was chosen teacher
for the upper room; Miss Emma
Dawson teacher of the intermediate
department, and Mrs. Walters Of the
primary department. The schools
will open on the first Monday of Sep
tember and continue eight months,
and with this corps of teachers they
cannot help but be success. Mr..
Hillard is a young man of several
Years experience in the profession,
having taught in nearly every town.
ship in the county, ard always given
the best Of satisfaction. Miss Dawson
is well known to the most of our citi-
zens, who have great confidence in her
as teacher. Mrs. Walters is pecu-
liarly adapted for the position to which
she has been chosen; having taught
the primary school in this place before,
and having given good satisfaction to
all, no doubt went far toward securing
her the position this time. And now,
with the hearty cooperation ofparents
and pupils, success in our schools is
assured. Let US have it.
The borough council has revived
the dog tax ordinance once more, and
have instructed High Constable Camp
bell to assess all CANNES in the bor-
ough. This ordinance was passed six
or eight years ago, and perhaps
longer Fhe tax was collected from
all owners Of dogs who willingly paid
it, while those who claimed the law
was not right, and refused to pay the
tax were allowed to go scot free. The
ordinance, never having been repealed,
still holds gool, and should, if it is
proper one, be enforced upon all alike.
We don't think there is a person in
town who owns a dog but what is
willing to pay tax on him, provided
his neighbor is compelled to do like
wise. If a dog is not worth his taxes,
better kill him and get him out of the
way; and if you collect the tax off
one dog owner be sure you collect it
off the rest.
