Waiting for Seats.

The schools have not opened at Big
Soldier yet on account Of the failure Of
the seats arriving, and the directors
don't know when they will get here.
When the seats did not arrive on time
the directors wrote to the house from
whom the seats were bought and they
received an answer that seats had been
shipped and tracer would be sent
after them. After reasonable length
of time and seats didn't arrive, another
letter was sent. In answer to this let
ter the company claimed that some OF
the material used in the manufacturing
OF seats had been in a railroad wreck
and that they were delayed in getting
order filed. So the directors are at
sea. They look for the seats every day.

Town Council Should Wake Up.

We are fully aware Of the fact that
there is considerable work for council
men to look after, when they perform

what they do, yet it is a position OF
trust given them by vote OF the peo-

but there has not been a meeting OF
that honorable body in this borough

the October meeting, these two council
men, and town clerk, met again at the
regular hour, 7.45 p. NJ, and at 900
Councilman Albert Reynolds made his
appearance and the three councilmen
and clerk waited until 1000 and no
other councilmen appeared. so there
was no business transacted. 1t is likely
that some OF the councilmen can give
good excuses for not being present, yet
there ought not to be two meeting
nights missed in succession. We men,
tion this because number of our towns
people have been wondering why the
council was not looking after certain
things, especially has this been the case
with those interested in the sewers.

their official duties in the future.
