We regret to learn Of the death
OF Miss Julia Mckinney at her home
out in the mountains near the Cave
last Friday, Sept. 10th. 1890 of ty-
phoid foyer, an estimable young lady
about rs years Of age a daughter Of
Joseph Mckinney. She contracted
the fatal disease while here taking
care Of the family of Judge Hoke
some time since. The Judges fam
lily were very much Frustrated over
the death OF the unfortunate girl.
We publish in this issue list Of
teachers certificates as granted by
the Examiners this year up to date.
Another and final examination will
be held in about a month to catch
the stragglers and those who want
to try for higher grades. We be-
lieye that Preston county has more
number one teachers than any other
county in the State. We believe
the york Of the Board has given
general satisfaction, SO far as We
can learn, and we now have enough
teachers to supply our schools, with
those holding four year certificates,
and we do not think it necessary to
send out Of the State, or out Of the
county even. for teachers.
