We regret to say that nuisance in the
shape of a pool table has found a lodging
place in our quiet village, but we trust its
stay, like any other pestilence, will be of
short duration. There are already Setting
places enough for transient loafers, and
our young men, as a class are above the
general society to be found around pool
table. 1t is gratifying to know that the
better class of citizens are thoroughly OPP
posed to the innovation. Future develop
ments will determine the antidote to be
prescribed We hope it will be a well fur
nished room with plenty of instructive
reading, free to all who wish to enjoy it.
At the school meeting in district No. -
March 81, these officers were chosen
Committee, H. A. Dudley collector, Clar-
ence Aldrich clerk and treasurer, G. G.
Smith. 1t was voted to have one school for
the spring and two for the fall and winter;
pupils to be admitted from out of the dis
trict by paying tuition. There is no reason
why we should not have first-class schools
for the coming year. If little more at
tention was paid to the education of our
children we should have less ignorance u
mourn over in coming years.
