To Teach in New Britain.

i Local people will be interested to hear that Miss Susanne R. Cobey of Beckley has severed her connection as member of the Harford public school faculty and will be a depart
 mental instructor in the Central
 Grammar school, New Britain at the
 opening of the fall term. The plan
 to be followed is to have each teach
 CT specialize in her chosen line Of
 work. The position will prove more
 lucrative for Miss Cobey than her
 present one.
 Miss Cobey was graduated from the
 New Britain High school and the State
 Normal school there and has been
 teaching in the Capital city since 1904.
 Her services were appreciated there
 and many regrets were expressed,
 when the announcement was made re-
 garding the resignation.
 Will There Be Opposition?
 That there will be opposition at the
 special town meeting Monday eve
 ming, regarding the appropriation of
 $70O for concrete curbing and gutters
 on Washington Ridge, is the belief of many citizens of the town. While no
 definite assurance was given from whence the opposition would develop, nevertheless many are positive that such will be the case. Those in favor of the project are at loss to explain the possibility of such a contingency, they claiming that the town is getting out of the matter more reasona ble than was at first supposed. When the proposition to lay permanent pave ment of the ridge, the item of $3,OOO was inserted to pay for gutters, curb ing and retaining walls This was vited down at a town meeting. Since then it has been decided that no re- taining wall will be necessary and con sequently the towns share of the pro- l ject will be consistently less than at l first thought. But sly Old Dame Ru- mor has it that there will be opposl- [ tion and those not On the inside will ! have to wait until Monday evening to 1 ascertain, whether she is correct in her surmise.
 Home Soon.
