The new organ, which has been placed

programs have been issued by the society
this week.
The Roman Catholic church is entirely

Contractor John o. Spring has had six

Mrs. Cornelia Flanders of Rutland, a
former teacher in the old grammar schools
of our village, has been in town during the
past week visiting her aunt, Mrs. Marshall
Wardner, who is TO remove to Philadelphia
in July. Mrs. Flanders noted great changes
in our schools and pupils since she was en-
ployed here, and many marked improve
ments.
Our street letter boxes are not likely TO
materialize yet awhile. The department
generously tells Mr.. Cannon it will furnish
the boxes if he will furnish a man to col
lect the letters. But there being no spare
clerk, and no money to pay one, we shall
jog along in the old-fashioned way till free
delivery comes. 1t seems TO be the old |
story of what the local Office may count on
from the powers that be.
