The Town Commissioners of Bel Air
and Mr. Jacob Schapiro are laying new
brick pavement in front of the postoffice
and adjoining stores. We are glad to see
this Improvement and hope the good
work will not stop here. Bel Air is en-
joying little boom this year, and while
we commend the spirit of conservatism,
it may be carried so far as to lose some
of its virtue. The Town Commissioners
can well afford to loosen the purse strings
little and join in the spirit of better
things that is struggling for recognition.
An entertainment to be given by the
pupils of the Bel Air Academy and Graded
School will be held in the Masonic Temple

The programme is well arranged and in
cludes the representation of almost every
family on the school roll. 1t will be
opened by a play entitled, katy in
Gooseland," which will be followed by
rose, doll and candle drills. Part two
has in it dialogue, called Showed In,''
a comedy of three acts. There will be
plenty of diversions to make the time
pass quickly for the large audience which
will undoubtedly be in attendance.
