Well, yes, we candidly confess
that we were misicd and deluded in
to defending and uphclding fe-
male who came into our midst n
stranger in q strange land. Aside
from the Unborn aud general admir-
alton and respect which abides in
every manly breast for the fair sex,
. common humanity admcnished us

what We then believed an uncalled
for and unprovoked attack upon the
character Of one who came among
US highly recommended, even by
some of our own citizens. Subse-
sequent events have proven that
they, too, were deceived, and that
the subject of their solicitude, and
in whose behalf, to secure the po.
sition Of principal Of our school, they
took a lively interest and everted
all the powers Of their Influence, has
proven herself Ri migrate and utterly
unworthy OF their confidence and
respect. 1t is not worth while for
US to expose her true characteristics
and utter disregard for yeracity.
She fully exemplifes her weakness
in this respect in the communica-
tion which was first sent to the
Memphis Appeal, where it was re-
iected, and afterwards published in
the Avalanche. No one capable OF
analyxing facts and placing tw" dia.
metrical ideas in juxtaPosition can
fail to discern the glaring inconsis.
tencies, aud wanton pervcrsion OF
facts contained therein, and ~ known
by the entire community. The first

IA conclusion let me suggest that
your Directors be careful in the
selection of their teachers in the
future. While al: communities
should be careful in ths selection Of
both, We believe they should be
more particular in the selection Of
thei, teachers than Preachers.
Why. First, from the fact that the
teachers are more constantly in con-
tact with the children and young
peop.s OF the community than Is
tbs Minister. Secondly, from the
TACT Ina. TIE young with whom the
teachers have to deal daily ere more
EASILY iaadenced and nodded in
theii minds and manners than are
the adults whom the minister
teacher, perhaps but one hour in .
week. Again, the adults habits Of
thinkins and acting are more perm
anen,ly hAed and Jess easily chang
cd than a,s those of the younger
and lesa-expsriencod children
Ch,.dsen ere great imitstors and
unconsc'odsly copy tbs thoughts
and acts Vi those with ~hcm they
associate. If you place vicious,
vindictive, "fule.or-ruin" teachers
over your children, YOU nay expect
such fruits Of your children. ii
you place a visionary, fastidious
6xey too, teacher over your child
rem, who believes in a white wash
education, applied ON the outside
instead OF the inside Of tho head,
you may expect nothing but dis
play, pretention and hypocricv of
Jour children. If you place slug.
gisb, indo'ent teachers (slow in
thought snd sction) over your chill
dren, you may expect these influ-
ences 70 wrap themselves around
your childrens minds and bodies
ike { heavy chain weighing them
down IN thought Of mind and action
of body all the futures of their
lives. II you place cheerful, kind,
hopeful and happy dis
positions over your children these
influences will be impaired to them
a. tie close of their schoo! days and
they will be acted out among their
at home aud abroad
life.
Vice versa. Fig trees do not
grow grapes. No, verify. Nor dol
crue., despotic teachers grow kind,
agreeable children out Of which tOl
build up good society and law.abid'
ing citizens. Therefore we say, be
careful in selecting those who are
to teach and train your children.

SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES.

Il is said that the man that owned ana
operated the corn shelter and mill at Bayne-
vile. Las skipped the country under very
compromising and dishonest appearing en-
curnstances. About one year ago he mar
ried Il widow Of that locality who was pos
sesscd of considerable property. He mort
gagged most of this property IN order to
raise capital 20 90 into the milling busi-
ness. He then worked upon his
neirhbor. for loans and favors, using as
lever the benefit Of his mill TO the commu-
nity He in this way succeeded. as the story
goes. in securing some $4,000. With this
and most of his wife's property converted
into cash. he took advantage Of the darkness
between two days Of this week, and quietly
stole AWAY forsome more congeHial cline, pre-
sulnsblv where his i'll gotten gains will be
used for his selfish and shanefully wicked
benefit. His wife is left almost destitute,
though il Is thought that by al earnest effort
Of the neighbors in her behalf some eighty
acres ot land can be saved to her. The
EAGLE will not be held responsible for the
foregoing, though the Information WAS re-
ceiyed from a thoroughly reliable source,
and unless the person returns and makes
satisfactory explanations it Is safe to suppose
that he Is the rogue that circumstances
would now appear to make him.
