The school on Kneesnd Flat, taught by
Miss Mary N. Cressy, closed on Friday, July
H. with public exercises at which good
number OF visitors from the neighborhood
were very pleasantly entertained. The
school-room was tastefully festooned with
evergreens. and lilies, daisies, maiden-hair
ferns and potted plants were abundant in
the decorations. The program, including
essays, recitations and songs, was thorough.
ly interesting and every part was carried
out with high credit to both instructor and
pupils. Miss Greasy is teacher of large
experience and well understands how to
develop the good material intrusted to her
care and guidance. The two pupils having
no absent or tardy marks during the term
are Helen Murray and Ethel Graves, aged
seven years. The former has been in school
six terms, the latter three terms, with the
same record OF promptness and regularity.
A fine beginning, little maids. Let the
future show an equal faithfulness.
At the last village meeting held Monday
evening it was voted 100 to 10 to pass over
both articles in the last warning. This
practically kills the prospect for any imme-
date construction OF sewers or any part OF
them by the village. The discussion that
followed the introduction of the motion to
pass over the articles was spirited and
somewhat personal. The remarks of DR..
Grout, who Is health officer of the town,
were very forcible argument in favor OF
taking immediate action to prevent epidem-
les OF contagious diseases such as are sure
to result from present conditions. Mr.
Moody advocated the building OF single
outlet, which would provide for the central
portion Of the village which is most in need
Of proper drainage. Mr.. Randall also made
| q strong argument in favor of the necessary
outlets. But the anxiety OF the majority OF
| taxpayers over increased taxation overba-
anced the sanitary necessities and we must
delay action until possible epidemic
changes public opinion.
