getting t the Railroad through the
snow. and severe cold. The January
session doesn't suit them so well as the

Allegheny county, took cold, during
| his trip through the snow, to reach the
railroad. and was obliged to return
home on Monday. Hope to see him In

We happen to know the facts. Mrs.
Campbell never held any position in
any public institution of North CARO-

experiment of a Southern cooking
school. Prof. Burwell gave her EN-.

Dumb Institution. After one term she
went to Charlotte, Greensboro. and
Staunton, Va, to teach classes. At
