! There is about the usual amount of NOV
ing in our village this spring. T. j. Cole
has removed from the David Eastman
place on High street to the Martin house
on the same street.-the Eastman house
remaining empty. This is good two
story house with l., all nearly new. As
this is for sale to settle an estate, it can
be bought low. Hale Chadwick is about
to move from the store formerly occupied
by the latelJ N Brock to the Franklin
block. The Brock store $50 called) is for
sale. This is a good chance for the right
man with II few hundred dollars ready
money to engage in the mercantile bust
ness. No better stand in the state for the
right man. This store, for some years
under the management of MIR. and Mrs
Brock has been one Of the most successful
stores in this section. Any ono looking
for place to engage in business will d,
well TO look at this place. The store cal
be leased with the privilege of purchasin;
,, if desired; inquire of L. +. Hale.
The Union district school meeting wa
called to order Friday evening accordin.
TO adjournment 1t will be remembered tina
the meetings were first called for the pur
pose of breaking up our graded schoo
system. Whether the projectors of thi
scheme became convinced that if thei
plan was carried into execution it woul
very materially enhance the value of THEi
real estate as we'll as be great hindranct
tothe growth and prosperity ofour village
or whether they saw by the great humble
= that were present, who were known to h
i in favor Of continuing our present system
that it would be useless to act upon tn
L article in the warning or from some othc
Q cause We arc unable to state. Suffice IL I
say that when the motion was made t,
: adjourn tho meeting before having don
: any business, it was carried without dis
scnting vote. We trust the matter is nova
j. rest; trust there will never again DO a
attempt made to destroy the prosperity &
i our village by breaking up ono ofthe hes
schools and school system in the state.
