townsman. Mr.. H. ]. Topky, OF AshIabu-
la, who, we are pleased to notice, bears
about with him physical evidence of be-
ing we'll treated since he left US. His en-
thusiasiic reference to his new place of
residence removes what hope we had of

teachers whO'was present at teachers
meeting, where the matter was consi ler-
ed, informed US voluntarily that no ex-
ceptions were taken to the article com
planned of. and the fact of profanity was
not one known to the teachers.
