A NUMBER of our people met at Wilson's
hall on Saturday afternoon and elected as
delegates to the prohibtory convention at
Burlington, upon the Dist, T. K. Wilson and
Rev. j. II. Robin. - A number of our
young men went to Rutland last Wednes-
day to witness the game of ball between the
Bethel and Rutland clubs played there upon
that day. - The sidewalk is being built
upon the river bridge under the supern-
teDdence of John Wilcox of Gaysville.
- When out for a ride on Sunday, Mrs.
j. g. Sargent picked some fresh APPLE
blossoms from tree on which were nearly
full-grown apples at the time - Last
year, when we reported the school in district
No. 8, we said that it was the banner dis
trict of the town. If we remember rightly,
the report that we give below of the term
which closed upon the 10th instant gives
better showing for the school than did the
other one. AT any rate, we think that the
district does not have to instruct the COM
mittee to enforce the attendance of the
scholars. There were fourteen scholars in
the school, and the number of days which
they attended the school was eight hundred
seventeen. The average daily attendance
was Is $3.50. Scholars not absent, Bertha
bearing, Edith Hatch, Katie Dartt, Alice
French, Mabel Preston, Eulie Washburn,
Rosa Dart and Clyde Washburn. Mary Ans
den, Perley Spalding, Daisy and frankie
Blackmer were absent but one day each
Jessie Spalding was absent two days and
Ethel Washburn three days on account Of
sickness. There was only one tardy mark
during the term. Abbie Fisher was teacher.
Will any school show better record than
this little mountain district shows? -
