- Simon Warning, an old and very
much esteemed settler in the town
OF Excel, arrived in the city on Tues-
day. During the past winter, he has
been in the hotel business in st. Hi
laire, but expects either to return to
the farm in Excel this summer, or
else buy Il place somewhere else. He
had some idea Of buying Il farm near
Warren and we hope he will conclude
to do so.
- Attention is called to the notice
OF the Board OF Health in this issue.
Now is the time to think about
cleaning away every particle OF rub
bish and the accumulation Of filth
OF the winter. We do not expect
that cholera will bother us, but we
can not be too careful about the
prevention of epidemic diseases. Re
member that an ounce of prevention
is worth pound Of cure. A good
way to prevent contagious diseases
is q free use OF anything to bring
about cleanliness and freshness.
Our friend. MIR. j. L. Cook, OF

Oh subscription Mr.. Cook is one O.
those who were unfortunate to lost
their crop by hail last year, but he
has not on that account given uE
hope and will try again this year
He is one OF our early settlers, hav
ing arrived in 1881. In that year
he says, the spring was as late as
this year, seeding being carried or
until in the middle of June, but the
crop was one OF the best we have
ever raised. 1t is to be hoped that
1898 will be repitition of 1881.
AT q meeting OF the school
board on Tuesday evening, applica,
tions for retaining their present po
sitions were received from Prof. w
B. Walters, principal and superin
tendent, Miss May E. Burnhurt
teacher in the grammar department.
Miss Lizzie NJ. Naylor, teacher in the
primary room. The board accept
all the applications, and in the case
ofProf. Walters, voted asmallincrease
in salary, fixing it at $500 for next
year. Prof. Walters submitted ar
estimate OF the cost OF adopting the
free text book plan,and according tc
his figures about $500 worth oi
books would be needed on the start
but that the amount could be re-
duced at least one half by
donating to the school the books
now in use. And each succeeding
year the cost would be less. The
plan would affect a great saving to
parents in the cost OF school books,
and it will probably be adopted be-
fore long in the Warren school.
