Ind., of typhoid fever, aged 5o years. The circumstances surrounding the death of Mrs. Ledgerwood are peculiarly sad.

H. Moore was surprised at hie nomination but was not a candidate - If i If he will be in the field at all he would choose to run for the School Board for With he also was nominated. Postmaster Farrow was the only 'Peas - tee nominee to speak. He returned thanks for bis former eleeticn 2 years ago to the Board and also for hie elec- tion as Chairman of the Board. There wee no better school in the Co; then ours nor any with as good it record. Had visited the various departments at intervals and on different occasions had examined the classes and believed the pupils were on the right ror•d to attain an A 1 education, If re-eleoted he would work for the advancement of the school, 52,550 was now received by one of his eons who is a teacher. Mr. Farrow said he had taught for 14 yeare and thought he should know something about the school's needs. Inapeotor Robb thought Brussels eobool was well taught end at a very low rate. If the work were done in a High Sobool it would cost much more. Thought the Board was more than eoonomical in salaries, stingy was a bet- ter word, All Who wrote for Junior Teachers last year, 18 in all, were suc- cessful and were trained in our own school. A bad tr•nstee is an unfortunate thing and be hoped the persons chosen would support the teachers end see that their efforts are backed up. The Board's record showed that great pains had been taken in securing A 1 teachers. This concluded the proceedings. Geo. Robb and R. Hendareon have withdrawn from the nominees for the Council since Nomination Day and S. Wilton and Jno. Ballantyne from the list of Trustees.
