Will Lichty, our veterinary surgeon, although a beginner, is gaining for himself a practice to be proud of. Among the many calls he had during the week was one to Elgin, where he operated on a very valuable horse with splendid success.

The accident will keep him in the honse for some time. The annual election of school direct­ ors will be held next Saturday, April 18, and it is earnestly desired that t very legal voter be present. Ed. Tnrner will be nominee for re-election and deserves the votes of all. During his present term he has worked faithfully for the best interests of the school, spending no little amount of labor and time during the erection of the the new school build­ ing and being one of the largest tax pay­ ers also assumes the burden of extra taxes. The school furnishings, insur­ ance for five years against fire and wind, shade trees and other necessary expenses have made the school taxes very heavy the past two years and it has been sup­ posed by some that they wonld be as heavy for ten years, or until the bonds have matured. This is a mistake as the building will need bnt little spent on it for several years and the taxes will now be much less. We now have the school building we so badly needed and long desired, have good teachers, and sixty children are having what eyery child must have to succeed in any calling, the opportunity to lay the foundation for a good practical education. Shall we con­ tinue this? The answer lays with the voter, and the voter, whether present or absent, must bear his share of responsibility in this matter. We hope all will consider what the school exists for, namely: The best interest of the pupils and that all will support that in­ terest by their vote next Saturday.
