LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

Marshal of the School Census informs
US that he has nearly completed the
enumeration of the persons residing in
Phoebe School District. whose age comes
within the scholastic limits. Mr.. Hal
pin will make his final return next Sat
urday. In the meantime. the Marshal
req nests us to call the attention of all
parents and guardians resident in Phoebe
District, whose children, or those com
mittpd to their charge, have by any acct
dent been overlooked, to call upon him
on or before next Saturday and he will
make the proper entries. This is duty
that should not be neglected, for the
State School money is distributed In
proportion to the number of children re-
ported from each district, SO that in
order to secure Phoebe its full quota,
all the persons residing here whose age
is within the scholastic limits should be
placed upon the registry.

whether sanitary precautions are eff

medical profession in Phoebe may be
able to throw some light on the matter;
if they can we should be glad to hear
from them and will give immediate pub

kind enough to make.
