Herrick Centre - The next election promises to be a very exciting one; the question of higher education may be settled for some time by the election of Directors. It is strange that people of otherwise good common sense will oppose the erection of a much needed school building because of the small extra tax it will cost - some even going so far as to say that our boys and girls are getting too much education in our old 7 x 9 school house. Let us throw away our old fogy ideas, and come out in the bright light of progress and show by our votes that we approve of what our Directors have done.

P. Mack, at Lindaville, where she is spending the winter. Aunt Elmina, was born in Groton, CT, and when about 2 years of age her parents, Esek H. Palmer and Amy (Smith) Palmer, with their four children, came to Susquehanna Co., then sparsely settled and commenced making for themselves a home in the township of Brooklyn. She became the second wife of Robert Kent, who died in 1878. Elmina has been a woman of strong nerves, and as a rule has enjoyed good health, and since she reached the age of four score years, her movement has been much more like a 16 year old girl than like an old lady of her age.
