The following letter was received a short time ago by Principal Howard Schermerhom of the local school from the superintendent of the Freeport schoola.
At the regular meeting of the Free- port Board of Education, June 10, it was decided that for the coming year,
1318-14,   non-resident' pupils "coniiiig '560^'ieet ef hose fer-Fire- from districts which do not maintain a high school, will be admitted upon the. charge of $6 for the use of text books, etc., throughout the year. ^   Please send me as soon   as   possible the names of those   pupils   who   will enter our high school in September. Yours truly, (Signed) Ward C. Moon.

The contractor, Edward Payne of Baldwin, expects to flnish the work in about three weeks. A grist mill stood at the head of this river for many years, and whije excavating for the foundation for the bridge, aeveral piecea of old machinery have been found, evidently buried when the mill was removed, about 20 years ago.
