Quite a crowd Of teachers are beginning to
arrive. All who fail to attend without a
valid reason will have their certificates re-
voked.
From present appearances the corn
crop will be very short, owing to the

oak mast in the hills. This makes baco n
pleaty and very cheap next year.

Of the Camp Meeting excursion train, in
