Prof. Geo. B. Alton, the new State
High School Inspector, visited and in
spected the Princeton schools last
week. He protested himself much
pleased with the outlook for good
high school in Princeton. The schools
were also favored with visit from
Miss Bertha Harris, a friend and class
mate Of Miss Glidden's, who was on
her way to take a position in the col
|lege at Redfeld, South Dakota. T..
Mr.. VIM. H. Townsend's splendid
new block is fast nearing completion,
and in less than two weeks it will be
ready for occupancy. The walls of the
Carew building across the street from
the Townsend block are going up at a
rapid rate. There will be three stores
on the ground floor of this building.
the front part of the second story will
be devoted to Offices and in the rear
will be a hall 32x66 feet. It looks like
business to see such solid and substan-
tial brick buildings going up in our
village.
There will be a school sociable at the
school house on Friday evening of this
week. The following program will be
given: Song, Miss Bloomingdale:
Charade, teachers and pupils; Recita-

In the rush incident to getting ready
for the fair last week the write-up O.
Rines' fire was far from complete. We
, omitted to mention that F. P. Clark's
!; jewelry shop was Destroyed. The STOCK
} was all saved. OF course the building
was not worth much but it was unin
sured and the loss falls heavily upo1
; Mr.. Clark. Mr.. Clark is now doin&
business in Max Marks store opposite
the Starch Factory. Mr.. E. J. Bell
the abstract man, an almost tota
stranger here, is deserving of especia
mention for his gallant work on tn
night of the fire. He was one of a lit
tie band of five or six who did effectiv,
work in saving buildings south O
Rines' store.
An estimable citizen of Isle Harbo
has written us an ill-tempered lette
and threatens to ''stop his paper''-dir
, threat!-if his wishes are not complies
with. We have not the slightest ide
of what the trouble is about or wha
ails the estimable citizen in question
He has some grievance against one @
our Lawrence correspondents. It is
= pretty hard matter to get good COZ
respondent in any of the lake towns
and when we succeed in getting
capable one we are loath to part wit
l him. Anyhow, we would advise on
g good friends in both Isle Harbor an
3 South Harbor to stop their bickerin
f and pull together to promote the inter
Q ests of their respective towns.
