The four act drama entitled “The Wives of Woodmen, or What Insurance Did for Melvina,” will be given at the Oakland hall this evening. A laughable farce, entitled “Burglars” will precede the drama.

The school election last Saturday evening proved a very interesting affair. There were two directors to be elected, the term of M.L. Powers having expired and G.W. Hubbard having resigned. There were several candidates in the field and after the ballots were counted it was found that F.L. Carr and A.C. Stoxen were elected. The selection of these two gentlemen is generally conceded to be as good as could have been made, both being deeply interested in the school work. F.L. Carr, previous to coming to our village, conducted a school at Ringwood and thoroughly understands the work and requirements of a teacher. Although Mr. Stoxen was never connected with the school, he is a man of good judgement, and we trust that harmony will prevail.
