Village Fathers Organize.

The members elect of the new town council, viz:  Messrs. Coughanour, Chase, 
Lauer, Bartch and Pence, met at the council chamber Saturday evening, when the 
oath of office was administered by Clerk Reed.  After the usual preliminaries 
the council proceeded to ballot for a presiding officer, or mayor, for the 
ensuing year.  On the fourth ballot Mayor Coughanour was elected for his third 
successive term, Mr. Chase being his competitor for the honors.  While no one 
doubts that Mr. Chase would have made a first class presiding officer, the 
faithful and efficient manner in which Mayor Coughanour has discharged the 
duties of the position during the past two years, is at once a guarantee of 
satisfactory conduct during another term.

The new council will hold its first meeting for the regular transaction of 
business on Thursday evening, May 4th, at which time the usual election of 
village officers will take place and the standing committees will be announced.
