Tomorrow the village school will close
for the long vacation. Most of the teach
ers will leave for their respective homes,
but we believe that all expect to resume
their work here next fall, with the ex.
ception of Miss Aver. If there has been
any dissatisfaction with our teachers. or
their methods, we have not heard of .it.
while we hear hearty approval of them
from various quarters. If our school
buildings were one-hsf as good as the
instruction given in them, we might be
quite complaccnt about Redwood schools.

Boycotting a Lover.

Boycotting is the latest sin for
which the sinful Arkansan has to an
swer. J. NJ. Butler, an Indian youth,
while teaching school in Perry county,
Arkansas, fell in love with the Widow
Brazil. The widows home, which
was near the school house, not only
seemed a comfortable place to settle
down, but, i'm the eyes of Mr.. Butler,
the widow herself was an object to
charm. On a recent Friday evening,
as Mr.. Butler was standing on the
porch of Mrs. BraziPs house, a note
was thrown into the yard by strang-
er of rough appearance. The teacher
stopped to pick up the note, when the
man fired both barrels ola shotgun,
killing Butler on the spot. The note
was signed by 81. N. Goodshot' and
ran az follows: 1--WE warn you in
plain words to leave. Billy Brazil
worked hard for what he had and we
can't stand to see it squandered by
you. If that is not enough we will
make it all right with you" The logic
of killing the teacher in one breath
and warning him to leave in another
is said to be matter of boas ting
among the friends of the late Billy
Brazil.
