that he would appoint none but tried

an unpleasant void. He goes to Mem.

tion to the prtrons, and the pupils, we
learn, are making rapid progress.
More and better than that, the chil-
dren love him, and that is half the
battle. He is assisted by two of our
best lady teachers, who are known as
such by our citizens, and we see no
reason why our people cannot rally
and make this one of the best and
most popular schools in West Ten

we will do 50.
