Is thus afording the people along the line
an opportunity to take 0 little recreation
In this manner occasionally. Il will Ger.
tainly be no loss 10 the company in the

they wish this road would effect an ar.
by which the people Of this

3 teachers examination here yesterday,
and is at Warrington to-day. Seventy
Eve applicants for certificates presented
themselves at this place. Marion, we
think, Is becoming one Of the banner

There are now five candidates for County
Of Schools in our county.

most confident that It will become law.
We hope their expectations will be re-
allied. - 80,
