AT a meeting of the school directors
held on Monday Mr. G. B. Barnett
was chosen clerk, Horace W. Bailey
superintendent of schools.
Spring term at the Seminary begins

high school and grammardepartments.

Invitations are now out for Il grand
entertainment at the Congregational
church and vestry next Wednesday
evening. With the invitation is a
little bag in which we are expected to
deposit currency amounting IN the
grand aggregate to as many cents as we
are years old. This makes it abirthday
party, and if we are modest about
publishing our age we can clap in a
dollar bill and no questions asked.
This donation of money entities us to
a supper in the vestry, and when sup
pers are offered by the ladies of this
place it means a good square meal of
we'll cooked food. We are further en-
titled to seat in the church to listen
to a grand musical entertainment by
singers from every section of the town.
A grand union entertainment in
which all our people are interested
| because the proceeds are for the bene-
fit Of the Tenney Memorial Free Libra
ry. To move, reminder, and catalogue
and properly arrange the books in the
new library will lost money. If you
can't come to this grand birthday
party send your donation and you shall
receive credit and do the community
a helpful act. If you have been over
looked in the distribution of invita-
tions it is not intentional, you can pro-
cure them at the door. Come every
body. Next Wednesday evening,
supper in the vestry from 6tOS o'clock. |
Concert, o'clock in the church. May
the Tenney Memorial Library prosper.
God bless the donor!

During the last school year several
persons joined in making note to |
Bradford Bank for 500 to procure
funds for the purchase of piano to be |
used in the Seminary Hall. Much |
credit is due to Prin. Shaw and the |
willing singers who furnished the Old |
Folks concert, and to Mrs Coblelgh |
who managed the supper and to the
many generous persons who donated |
food. 1t was success, nearly $40 of |
the debt was wiped out
