An exchange well says: No man is
too poor to take local newspaper, and it
is false economy to get along without it.
Hardly week passes that something does
not appear in the columns that will be of
financial benefit to the subscriber, and
by the end of the year he has saved from
one to twenty times its subscription
price. The city papers do not take the
place of the country paper, but some peo-
pie seem to think they do. The city pa
pers are all right in their way, but they
don't give what you are mostly interest
ed in-your home news.
The close of another very successful
school term for this borough came with
the exercises of commencement at the
court house on Monday evening, when
the "Class of '9S'' was graduated with
honors, and the members, Mr.. Jay Bank
head, Miss Ruth Clark and Miss Lille
Bradbury, were presented with diplo-
mag from the high school. The program
rendered was sufficiently varied to en-
tertain aud please all, and each part was
so we'll taken that the exercises glided
smoothly and seemed quite short though
lasting full two hours. Prof. Speer and
his able corps of assistants deserve much
credit for the success of the schools dur
ing the past three years. In that time
the high school grade has been estab-
lished, and the greatest progress ever
achieved in school work in our borough
has been attained, all of which is very
largely due to the ability and energy of
the Principal. AS an educator and all
round expert in every department OF
school work, Prof. Speer easily stands
with the first in the State, and our town
is indeed fortunate in having one such
at the head of its schools.
