The graduates from our public school this year are Nellie Flanders, Blanche Cook and Bertic Heull, and only one was promoted to the highest grade - Nellie Fitzgerald. We have had a poor principal this year - Arthur Norton. Last night three stacks of hay belonging to Mrs. Clements, were burned-loss more than a thousand dollars. It is supposed they were set on fire - too bad! (T.S.R. 58. 2 P.M. 78. S.S. 64.)
