Local School Closes As Teacher Departs For East
Our school is closed and the primary depart ment teacher has departed for home in the East. It was to be hoped she will return as both the higher and lower departments have done good work with our children. The new school house adds to our town's prosperity, and our people may have acted earlier to share costs. It is good we got it at last though the matter remains unsettled.
