Harry Howard, THE Drummer boy Of
the Potomac" gave an entertainment in
the town hall Monday evening, which was
attended by small audience. His work
on the drum and also on the bugle was
remarkably well done. In addition he
gave moving picture exhibition. The
program lacked one feature on account
of an accident to one of Mr. Towards in
struments. When he unpacked his trunk
he left in it accordion and a heavy
box Of tools. The trunk was on the first
floor OF the town hall building, and when
the boys OF the Central school went out
at recess time they did stunts with the
trunk with the result that the finger board
on the accordion was demolished. Mr..
Howard advertised the matter much more
thoroughly than the situation demanded
and in order to satisfy his claim Mrs. j.
F. Washburn, superintendent Of schools,
paid him SIC Tuesday morning. The Sc
lectmen allowed SO, the rent of the hail.
and the boys Of the school will be asked
to make UP the remaining 80. While the
boys had no right to NEEDLE with the
trunk, they intended no damage and act
ed no worse than many other school boys
would have done. Unfortunately the in
cident was taken advantage OF by some
who have been Cpl sed to the school. and
in view OF that fact 1t should be stated
that since Miss Jennie E. Pierce was en-
gagged as principal the students have
done excellent work
