best work on our roads that ever has
been done. for the amount expended,
had a ~culvert in just north Of town
and needed help badly, notified sew

The following young ladies have
been selected to teach in our public
school the coming year: Misses Ella

former teacher left. She has made a
splendid teacher and is loved by all
her pupils. The new members are OF
fine material and we have no doubt,
will make good along the line they
have selected. All things being equal.
we are glad to see our town girls at
the helm. Proficiency is the first
consideration, of course. We hope
all will be successful.
