The school board has installed
two new sanitary drinking foun
tains, a much needed improve
ment. The entertainment given in
honor of Lincoln's birthday was
a splendid success, and teachers
and pupils are to be compliment
ed upon their work. The town
showed its appreciation by filling
the opera house to its fullest
capacity, and much favorable
comment was heard concerning
the good order maintained
throuhout the evening. The
amount cleared, over $30, is to be
used for new books for our library
We hope that the school will be
