is an apt illustration OF what CO.

cational interests of a community.

ted the policy of spending no mo-
ney for the building on improve

of patrons of the Leblanc school
has been organized whose purpose
is to improve the building and CO.
operate with the teacher in bull
ding up the school. The officers
of this committee are Octave

We are pleased to say that TINS
ticket is composed of good men, as
individuals, men who attend to
their personal affairs in the pro-
per manner, and if by accident
thew we're to be elected, we are sa-
tisfied that they would try their
best to administer the affairs OF
the town to the best of their ablll-
ty, and honestly, but we believe
the ticket, politically speaking is
a weak one, and will be defeated
before the Democratic primaries
If they submit their names, as we
believe they will.
As long as both factions will se-
aect good men for their tickets, we
can indulge in a little political ex-
citement, and champion the can
didates of our faction, with the
knowledge. that either faction thai
will 90 in will be good men.
We have no idea yet who thu
candidates of the other factor
will be, but we are satisfied tina
the ticket will be composed alst
of good men, who will be stronger
