Clifford - Some of our good patrons of our school being convinced, apparently, that our school directors are not doing their duty, have hauled them to court this week to show cause why they should not be removed from office. ALSO: Ralph Bennett, Miss Janet Tuthill and Glen Wells were delightfully entertained at the home of Miss Ellen Decker, South Gibson, Sunday. Some say Glen did not come home with the rest.

They will reside with the bride’s mother on Susquehanna street.

Mrs. Kingsley is a very gifted and accomplished lady and will be an ornament in any circle in which she moves.

Springville - C. H. Young, the hustling Maxwell agent, informs us that he has just received a car load of Maxwell 25’s. Mr. Young took the editor out for a little spin and the new “25” did all that any well behaved car could possibly do. It takes to the road as naturally as a duck takes to water, and takes the steep hills with speed, quietly and with no effort.

The hand thus opens readily should a back kick occur. Always crank up, never down.
