Bancroft.

Henry Billings who has been in MantOn
for the past few months on business, has
just returned to Bancroft. Henry was ali
applicant for the Bancroft Post-Office, but
failing in that we are informed that he has
just received an appointment to go south
and assist in collecting the census for the
southern states.
The following article appeared in the
Bancroft Advertiser of last week:
There has been no school in Miss Bur
nett's room this week, owing to her sick
ness. The scholars of the primary depart
ment have also been excused the latter part
of the week OH account of Miss Lemons
Illness"
1t is evident that the Advertiser does not
attend school, as the following facts will
show: Miss Burnett's school was looked
after during her illness by Miss Helen Good
rich, one of her pupils, who did it very sue
cessfully. There is no teacher by the name
of Lemon in the primary department., but
Carrie Lyman presides over that depart
nent and the scholars were excused Friday
only. Watch out, Brother Sherman.
DIR. Bradt has again been called to his
home in st. Charles, on account of the sick
ness of his family. AS the Doctor has been

fear they are seriously i'll.
