besides auditors of his own faith he

refer to he had paid his respects to
the old parties, and incidentally read
the following paragraph ''from the
Presidents message" us though he in

Prof. J E. J. Buckley has resigned
the vice, ,principalship of the Castle
school, Homecoming, to accept Il place
on the editorial staff of the Cumber-
land NetrS. In that field he is not
without experience, and it there are
any dry bones about the Netrs he will
make them rattle. 1t appears fortu-
nate, therefore, that he will no longer
emulate the example of the gentleman
in the parable and "bury his talents
in II School-rOom.
After nearly ten years connection

in musical and journalistic circles in
Cumberland and other parts of the
State, and has the good wishes of
many friends in his new venture. His

ever done i'll this county.
