From members connected with this Board it is learned that much more interest is being created than heretofore and much success is looked for. Specially needed is the protection of the R. R. crossings as the new school will make it neces sary for children to cross the tracks at these two points daily. Oftimes a number of Scholars go along together talking, laughing and paying little at -1 tention to the trains and just one ac cident would needlessly plunge the en tire village into mourning. In the Wiriter when there is likely to be wind, : rain and snow blowing a gale the noise j of an approaching train is drowned completely. It seems hardly possible that so little attention is paid to this matter and it does not speak well for in the business world, j residents hereabouts to be satisfied with a cheap sign post warning person to “ look-out for the cars\ at each I crossing.

The fact that Sanfue Gompers, President of the American Federation of Labor, was not invited, is not looked upon as significant, but, by Mr. Gompers, to use his own words is regarded by him as an honor. The event is scheduled for next Tuesday. John R. Seaman of Baldwin is ou| with a plan which for its uniquene „ and originality will command the at tention of a large number of those for whose benefit it is sqggested. The! ides, as suggested, is. that there formed an organization to be of a co-; operative and protective order to help | the poorer classes who may need the backing of such a body to secure such redress from time to time as they may be in need of, in their different walks of life. Were it possible, suggested Mr. Seaman, to interest in this a large | number of men in the Town of Hemp- ^ stead, they could soon show their | strength and as an organization, be come a factor so strong that they could secure recognition which would be well-nigh impossible for an individual to receive.
