Some of our Sandystou young
folks attended dance at the resi-
dence of jacob Ayers in Upper Mon
tague on Thursday evening, aud if
getting home at daylight is any
criterion of a good time they must
have had it. The attendance was
good and the music first class. and
the young folks are listening for the
next invitation.
Pennsylvania has thirteen State
Normal schools while New Jersey
has but one located at Trenton.
Newark is shouting to have one To-
Gated at that place and it would be
more convenient for those wishing
to attend the school from the north
ern part Of the state to have one at
Newark and it looks now as if they
will get it.

The dance at Jacob Ayers in upper
Montague last week was the best so
far as a good time is concerned that
has been held yet The music was
particularly good, the cake of the
best, and the order was equal to that
of the 400" whe sojourning at the
Waldorf Astoria.
AS the years roll by our schools
grow smaller and our Board of Ed.
should do something in the line of
consolidation 1t would be better
for the schools and financially better
for the township The two schools
along the river have from 4 to 10
daily attendance and if the two
schools were put together would
make one small sized school, at one
half the present cost for maintaining
the two. What say you Mr.. Board.
Cannot some influential party per
suade the Port Jervis merchants
that a trolley road down this way
would control tile entire trade of
this valley, besides many of our citi-
zens assure me that they will take
stock to help the matter along. It
is worthy of consideration by the
Port Jervis people.
