but to those who are unacquainted
we will say that she graduated in the
teachers and business courses at the
Campbell University of HoltOn, Kas.
| She then took course at the Ritner
| Business college at St. Joseph, Mo.
She has been teaching school for fif-
teen years, and for the past nine years
she has been a resident of Cove cOun-
ty. Since residing in this county she
has taught one term of school in
Quinter, one term in COllyer and the
rest of the time she has been employed
in the district schools in counties
adjacent to Cove, and for the past two
years she has taught in the Wakeeney
schools. To say the least she is well
qualified for the position, and, if elect
ed. she will no doubt manage the
affairs of the office as judiciously and
as efficiently as anyone.
We copy the above article from the
Quinter Republican and cordially en-
dorse it's recommendation of a worthy
teacher in our school here. During
the two years Miss Hobbs has taught
in Wa-Keeney she has made many
friends, and by her ability as a teach
er has shown herself amply qualified
to fill the office to which she aspires
Her many friends here would be glac
to see her nominated and elected.
