 Monthly Board Meeting. At the monthly meeting of the school board held this week there was little of importance for discus sion. After careful canvass of the town 1t was established beyond a doubt that there are no cases of smallpox that are a menace to the schools and unless future develop ments warrant the schools will not
 close until the date set at the last meeting. The board was very much gratified by the reports received from adjoining towns as to the qualifica-
 tions of the local pupils in attend
 ance at the schools.
 The question of much needed re- pairs at several of the school build ings was talked over and the board
 will visit each school within the com
 ing week to decide what the actual
 needs will be in this direction. The
 children at the Beckley school have their garden all planted and are now
 waiting for the crops to appear so that they can show the grown-ups
 what they have accomplished. Flag Presentation Tonight. All members of the local unit of the Home Guard are requested to be on hand at the Town hall this eve- ming at 8 o'clock. The regular Fri day night drill has been changed to this evening in order that the ladies of the town can present the company with 8 handsome American flag. The ladies of town have been busily en- gagged for some time past in taking up . subscription to purchase the flag and now everything Is in read mess for the affair. Just how large l 8 flag has been purchased and who will do the presenting has not been announced and will be more or less of a surprise to the whole company. The evening will also be observed as sort of ladies' night and many of l the fair sex are expected to be on hand to see the men go through thcir paces. The drill will be the regular infantry drill that the men have
 been going through for tho last two months with the exception of the rifles, which were used Monday night for the first time.
