AT the directors meeting at Cam
eron Center last Monday the salaries
of teachers in that township for the
present school year were reduced to
$50 per month instead of $32 as here
tofore paid. Considerable time was
consumed in discussing the question
of building anterooms to schoolhouses
but it was finally voted down. No
other business of importance was
transacted.
Last Friday evening about o'clock
the residence of Jas. Foster, Sr.,
in north Cameron township was
burned to the ground. Nearly all
the goods and clothing in the lower
story were destroyed, but everything
upstairs-apartments of John Foster
and family-was destroyed. The fire
originated from defective tlue and
caught while the family were at sup
per, thus gaining such headway as to
be beyond control when discovered.
Tie building was insured for $400,
which sum covers about half the loss.
We understand that Mr.. Foster will
at once rebuild, the new residence to
be similar to the old one. This is a
severe financial blow to Mr.. Foster
and he has the sympathy of the en-
tire community.
