AT the last lyceum the question of
compulsory education was discussed
and many new and interesting ideas
brought ont. The other part of the
program was interesting and the de-
pertinent of the school was commenda-
BILE. Principal Sharp of the Wells
River school was visitor and spoke in
praiseworthy terms of the lyceum.
The funeral services over the re-
mains of Lulu George, whose death
was noticed last week, was held in the
Methodist church last Friday after
noon. The services were impressive,
the village school was dismissed, the
pupils attending in body, filling all
the pews On the south side body of the
house. Among the floral offerings
which were numerous and appropriate
was beautiful wreath of white tea
roses with the word "Lulu" in blue
flowers, presented by schoolmates.
Rev. A. W. Ford preached strong
brief sermon we'll adapted to the &C
casion. The remains were borne to
their last resting place by four school
mates.
Mr.. Swasey reports large sale in
his line of goods during the holidays.
We are not prepared to say that the
present is the largest term of school at
the Seminary and Town Central school
since the old village district bought
Seminary building, but it ranks well
up. The high school department has
Al pupils, the grammar 20, intermedi-
airy, "a, total, 1923. The teachers are {:
Principal, E. A. Shaw; grammar, Miss
Martin; intermediate, Miss Ford; pri-
mary, Miss Guthrie; assistant, Miss
Mead. This is good record with
which to open the new year. 1t is a
good board of teachers, every one
thorough and popular, and above all
its good community from which to
make school.
Mr.. James B. Hale has been in Bris.
toll, N. H., for several days as an APP
praiser on large stock of general
merchandise.
Miss Martin was called from her
school on Tuesday by the death of a
relative. Her place was taken by
Principal Shaw's wife, who is a teach
er of long experience.
Union watch meeting services were
held in the M. E. Church Tuesday
night, at which meeting the pastors of
the Congregational and Methodist
churches took leading parts. The at.
tendance was not large. The ringing,
at midnight, of the bell gave notice Of
the approach of the New Year. The
worshippers at the Advent church held
watch meeting services, continuing a
couple of hours into the New Year.
Perhaps there has never been a De-
cember registering such extremes of
weather as the one just left behind us.
Extreme cold, frozen earth, frozen
streams, frozen everything, followed
by warm southerly winds. balmy May
days, dense fogs, high winds, heavy
and continuous rains, high brooks,
higher streams and highest rivers-a
regular spring freshet.
We are glad to report that the con-
dition of Mrs. II. w. Chamberlin, who
has had a long and severe illness, is
improving not as rapidly as her many
friends desire, but improving all the
same.
We desire in the next issue of the
OPINION to publish the names of all
persons living in Newbury who are
eighty years old and upwards and de-
sire information of any one who has
attained 80 years since January 1, 1895.
Also of any persons who have lived
