The new streets, Osage and Maple, have been opened for traffic, a gang of men having been busy for the past few days grading and putting the same in shape. With a little further improvements they will make the finest driveways in the village. They are centrally located and building lots have been laid out, which will give our village a chance to spread on the west as well as north and south.

The teachers for our school have been hired for next year as follows: Principal, Prof. Robert Andrew; intermediate room, Miss Jennie Green; primary room, Miss Estella Grace. This will be Prof. Andrew’s second year and shows that his work the past year has been satisfactory. Miss Green, who succeeds Miss Tidmarsh in the intermediate room, is a resident of our community and well fitted for the position she has accepted. Miss Grace, present instructor of the primary room, has taught that room for the past four years and her work has proven so satisfactory that her salary has been raised each year. With such a corps of teachers our school is sure to prosper and maintain its place as one of the best in the county.
