thing Martins Ferry can justly be
proud OF, is having one of the best I'm
ion schools in the State, being presided
over by as good principal and corps of
teachers as are usually found any where.
The present principal has occupied his
position for seventeen or eighteen years,
which is strong proof of his excellence.
