May success, health and happiness be the lot of the family when they are located in their new home.

Additional Locals – City election passed off so quietly this week Monday that the majority forgot that the election was in progress. Only one ticket was put in the field. This was C. A. Moody and W. A. granger for councilmen and J. G. Laird for assessor. Only 40 votes were cast. The effect of this small vote will be felt at the November elections, as the number of votes cast at the spring election determines the number of voting booths to be supplied in a town for the state and national election. Fifty votes are necessary if a town asks for more than one booth. Nashua will find itself greatly inconvenienced because of this fact when a large vote is to be polled. The matter should have been brought before the notice of the public before it was too late.

Additional Locals – If George Hawkins had been a little boy instead of a man grown he would have been severely criticized and perhaps punished for the way he did an errand for his wife one day last week. Mrs. Hawkins always raises early chickens and does quite a nice little business of her own in the sale of eggs and fowls. Last week she gave Mr. Hawkins a large basket of eggs to take to town for sale. The dutiful husband reached town safely and for convenience drove up in front of Hershberg's and deposited the basket on the sidewalk, expecting to go and tie his horse and return and sell the contents. Perhaps he met some man who wanted to talk real estate with him, or perhaps he was figuring how best to close up some important deal but evidently he was thinking of something besides how much profit his wife was to get out of those eggs for he never though of them again until after he had eaten his supper that night and his enterprising wife asked for the receipts of the sale. At the mention of that basket the thoughts of the real estate and commissions vanished from the mind of Mr. Hawkins, but he didn't waste time explaining how it happened but hitched up at once, drove back to town and found his basket of eggs sitting unmolested where he had left them.

Home and Abroad – The teachers and patrons meetings are creating a very wide-spread interest among our people along the line of work being done by our teachers.

Prof. Trumbauer brought order out of chaos, restored peace where rebellion had reigned, and won the love and respect of the pupils who felt only contentment for the principal who preceded him. Our school was never in a better condition nor the pupils more alive to the necessity of absorbing all the knowledge they possibly can during and out of school hours. This condition is thoroughly appreciated by the parents who can readily see the change which has been wrought during the past two years. These meetings of the patrons and teachers have already resulted in much interest and help to both, and we hope to see them continue as long as it will be beneficial to the best interest of the school.
