WIS VILE HAS ELECTION
SCHOOL BOARD RETURN
Tax Rate of Eight Mills Assessed for This
 Year.

The annual district meeting of the Westville district was held last even- ing in Masonic hall and was attended by a smaller number of citizens than usual. Tn the voting for the three members of the school committee there was little interest shown, there being but about fifty ballots cast which is about one-third of those put in last year. The retiring school committee, consisting of Judge Hobart L. Hotch- kiss, Robert T. Grand and Michael J. Powers was reelected without dis senting vote, The term for which they are returned is three years:
 The other district officers were elect ed as follows;
 Treasurer-George W, Crane.
 Clerk-Charles B. Canada.
 Tax ollector-Francis c. Anthony
 Sexton--Wilfred Ford.
 At the town meeting which was held the tax for the year was laid. A rate of eight mills was fixed upon, which is an increase of one mill over that collected last year. The extra mill was levied for the purpose of in- stalling modern toilets in the Westville school and for the purpose of putting on a regular day policeman in the district. There has never vet been a patrolman in the village and the need of one has been felt so that it was decided that one should be added this year. Although there were some mur- murs of dissent they did not make themselves heard in the speaking of the evening, and there were very few passed.

studiously sought to keep any mention

In the course of our conversation tho
talk drifted to President Roosevelt, whom

for Mr.. Roosevelt I have the highest

would do anything that he did not think

his untimely death.

WASHINGTON, January 12.-Tfomas
Nelson Page, the greatest of living
Southern writers, and one who holds
the warnest place in the affections of
Southern people, will give to the literary
world during 1907 three new volumes.
One of these. a collection of essays
dealing with Virginia and Southern life,
will come out In the spring, as will also
Il volume of short stories. The third
work Is a novel dealing with life to-day
and present conditions, which Dr. Page
hopes to bring out by fall. He is also
ut work on n second novel, but the date
Of it's completion Is farther in the future.
1t was as writer of short stories that
DIR. Page first won fame, and the present
volume, as we'll as the volume of essays,
will be especially welcomed by the read
ing pubic.
In addition to his other literary work,
DIR. Page Is preparing several addresses
to be delivered soon. This month he
will deliver an address before the Bar
Association OF New York State on the
Loss OF the Fiduciary Principle Later
and in the January number of the South
ern Atlantic he has an article on Robert
u. Lee.
1t Is gratifying to know that DIR. Page
will come 50 prominently before tho
public in this. the ter-centinary year,
for Virginia is proud of her gifted son,
and as hostess to the world, would pre-
sent for the worlds inspection her rich
est treasures. And while she will set
forth with pride the rich products of
her mines, forests and fields, like the
mother of the Gracchi, when asked for
her choicest jewels, she will proudly point
to her distinguished sons.
DR.. Page strikes one Immediately as
a Southern gentleman OF the highest
type and his quiet dignity, his fine SEN
sbilities and unassuming modesty Is
such as to inspire tho reverence and
challenge the admiration of the most
casual observer.
AS Is generally known, DR.. Page re-
sides in Washington. His stately home
is situated in handsome residence por-
ton of the city. several squares from
trolley lines, and is as quiet as an
author could wish. 1t Is four-story

is so complete, that he asks her to mar
ry his son in order to keep him out Of
the clutches of the daughter OF the hated
RossmOre. Her keen sense of woman
hood and her love for Jefferson will not
allow her to further deceive those who
have shown her personal kindness, where
upon she admits her identity as being the
renl Miss Rossmore.
Outwitted and cheated in his fondest
hopes Ryder, in a fit of eXasperaton, orr
ders her from his house, whereupon the
son. Jefferson, interferes, telling his faith
er his determination to leave with her
and become her husband. Here Shirley's
pride interferes, and she denounces
Ryder Sr., assuring him that she would
not allow herself to fall so low as to
marry the son of man who tramples
all good under his golden heel, and who
refuses to lift his hand to save her faith
err from unmerited disgrace.
