The men employed at the Corunna coal
mines all quit work on Saturday to join in
the general coal miners strike. The men
gave Mr.. Kincaid notice some time ago that
they would quit on that date and i'm the
meantime would work over time to get out
coal to supply all his contracts for month
to come. Most of the men have small
tracts of land and will be able to comfortably
provide for their families during the sum-
mer il work is not resumed. The strike
was expected to have been general all over
the country, but the negroes employed in
some of the suthern mines refuse to go out
and will likely cause the strike to be fail
ure.
That the worth and ability of Supt. j.
w. Simmons is appreciated away from
home as well as it is here is show n by the
fact that he has been appointed to conduct
teachers Institutes this summer at st. Johns

the week after the close of school. During
the five years Mr.. Simmons has been super
intendent of our schools every branch of the
work has been brought to higher standard
than ever before in the history of the school,
the work is all done under system which |
makes efficiency one of the chief requisites |
of the teacher; the teachers and superin- |
tendent work together tremendously to the |
great advantage of the district. We can |
safely say that the schools of OwossO easily |
take rank among the best in Michigan and |
for this too much credit cannot be given |
Mr.. Simmons.
