The meeting of the board of education
here last week was fairly attend
ed. The talk and deliberations were
useful and spirited, but the numbers not
such to permit the doing of much bus
mess. 1t was voted that the secretary
publish as the opinion OF the Board that
it was the duty of district clerks last June
to perform the duties required of them by
Sec. les of the School Laws, and clerks
who failed to do so at that time should
attend to it at once.
If our neighbors who appreciate fine
art or perfect piece of work will take
the pains to drop into E. T. Wilson's
photograph gallery they will not only see
a large display of first class photo work,
but some of the finest crayon portraits
that are made. Mr.. Wilson takes the
negatives" sends them to an artist in
Boston and they are brought up to per-
lection. One pleasant thing about the
matter is the fact that the price is such
that all who desire large, perfect pic
ture of self or friend can purchase it.
