SCHOOL COMMITTEE ELECTION.

A LARGE ATTENDANCE. The annual meeting, of householders for the election of a School Committee for tho ensuing year was held last evening. The attendance was the largest for the past ten years —over 50 householders being present. Mr W. H. Smith was voted to the chair. The Chairman expressed his pleasure at the large attendance, and mentioned the fact that at tho previous annual meeting only 15 householders attended. It showed that an increased interest was being taken in school matters. It was very fitting that parents with children attending school should take an interest in the election of a School Committee. Ten nominations were received for the five positions, the following being elected: — J. B. Lovell 37 J. R. Hdrtou 25 W. Blaylock 24 • P. C. Cowper 22 E. A.
