% the following, which appeared in a
Sedalla paper on the day following
he one on which the BAzoo an
bounced that Prof. Holloway was a

"An evening paper yesterday made the
on authority il claimed to be
IuIh. stic, that Prof. J. l.. Holloway, Of
his city, was an applicant for the position
f principal of the Boonville public schools.
The professor was seen last night by q Ga
cite reporter and Intercepted as to the &C
,uracy OF the publication. He did not
leeitate TO pronounce il without the shad-
w of foundation. And there is another

The foregoing testimony on the

aIge shadow of foundation" for the
eport.
