This town needs schoohouse. We no
tice the children trudging home about dusk,
and pity them tor they must be tired after a
twQ mile walk Besides every child should
be educated and we know of at least half Il
dozen cases where the child must stay from
school because he or she is two delicate to
walk so far to school. 1t hardly seems pos
sible that we, who are in manner directly
on the w. NJ. II. r. should be two miles from
the nearest schoolhouSe, but it is true. Good
people this should not be. We fee that if
some enc would get our good School Com :
missionerS interested in this matter we would
soon have Il schoohouse right in this town,
with an attendance of at least 30 pupils, thus
relieving the over crowded school room

Band Concert.

The entertainment by the Carroll County
Band, at Odd Fellows Hall, on Thursday
night, was decidedly the best given by that
organization. The Band never appeared to
letter advantage. and played with harmony
and skill equal to professionals. The Selec-
tions were good and the audience was highly
pleased Mr.. Z. H. Manning very creditably
recited "Iasca," and received liberal APP
plause. The entertainment concluded with
''Who is Who" very amusing farce, in
which a valet was mistaken for a model young
bachelor, and the bachelor for the valet; the
housemaid for genteman's daughter, and
the daughter for the housemaid, while the
country gentleman. at whose home the mis-
takes all occurred was nearly crazy at the
confusion. Mr. p. c. Kennedy, as the coun-
try gentleman. played his part to perfection.
Mr.. T.. II. Manning, as valet; Miss Blanche
Bennett, as the country gentleman daughter;
Miss Betty Shriver, as house maid, and Mr..
Frank Thomas, as the model bachelor, all
sustained their parts well.
