 To fill the vacancy caused by the

 being the Kilhngly representative on the committee that has to do with the
 matter of annually contracting for 9
 supervisor of schools in knlingiy and
 Brooklyn, his resignation also caused
 vacancy that was filled by the se-
 lection of Sidney P. Marland for su-
 pervisory agent.

 No committee on the care of school property was appointed this year.
 At it's meeting the committee gave consideration to the matter of appoint ing a supervisor of music, but no ac- tion was taken. The committee has received one application for this ap- pointnent-from Miss Bernice CoSs- well, Dayville.
 The committee has received a num- Der of applications for appointment as supervisor of schools. As this ap- pointmept is a matter that also con cerns the town of Brooklyn confer ences are to be held before any ap- pointnent is made. It is understood that from the long list of applicants that three have been strongly recom- mended by Secretary Charles D. lime of the state board of education as men very capable and it is likely that one of these men. will be selected. Money Order Mailed in 1908 Returned.
 On January 8. 1908, Honore Bonneau forwarded by money order from the 1 DanieIson office $2.50 to a priest in Canada. MT. Bonneau never gave fur ther thought to the matter. The mon 1 ey order has just been returned to MT Bonneau, but by whom he doesn't not | know. 1t was mailed in Canada and ] has just arrived here.
 The order is on form no longer | in use by the post office department, 1 but is as fresh and crisp as on the | day it was issued by the then assistant l postmaster, now Rev. Clarence Clifford.
 There is for Mir. BOnreau 8 mystery as to where the order has been during the nearly nine years since it was ls- sued, but it seems probable that 1t never reached the priest to whom Mir. Bonneau forwarded it. The order is to be redeemed at the local office.
