TIE Teachers Lasfffufe.

Charlton county teachers convened
at Salisbury's public school building
August zRd with an enrolment of
over 100, which number has since
been swollen to 40 with several yet
10 add.
They compose a body of men and
women assembled for mutual and In
dividual improvement, determination
stamping every feature.
Under the efficient management of
County School Commissioner Pratt
everything is eliminated that might
impede the progress of the teachers.
II is understood that Mr- Pratt will
soon quit the school-room having clos-
en- law as his future profession. This is
to be regretted as he is a leader
among the teachers of this county.
Prof. Settle of Glasgow knows just
how to settle" down to business and
carry with him every teacher under his
directions. He is very earnest in his
work and 1t is to be regretted that he,
too. at the close of this institute enters
upon another profession, but the
good wishes OF the teachers so with
him as he takes permanent charge OF
the Gfo5e at Glasgow.

Snspicipned Of Suiclae.

The ChilIicothe Consultation Of the
9th inst. makes mention of Allen
Frazier, who was drowned, supposedly
accidentally. in Grand river May 23rd,
concerning which it is now thought,
from recent developments, the drown
ing was suicidal instead of accidental
as at first suspected.
What has led 70 the suspicion of
suicide is the fact of DIR. CabeI's hav-
ing received from Louisville, KY, a
photograph, which was recognized as
that of Frazier, on the back of which
were these words: "rBldly wanted in
Kentucky by his many victims"
at the time OF FSazier's death it was
reported that he carried several thous-
and dollars life insurance, says the
Conssslzkox, which was afterwards
proven a canard-
Frazier fornerly lived at Salisbury
where he has a married son. HIS
first wife was Miss Mollie Duff Of
Salisbury. an excellent woman, froua
whom Frazier afterwards separated,
giving her care of their only child,
which she raised to manhood. Mrs.
Frazier subsequently marned Pat
FogIesong OF Mussel Fork township
with whom she has since lived happily
on a portion OF her fathers homestead
near Salisbury. Frazer married a
second wife and parted from her also.
He visited his son in Salisbury two
years ago. at With time he maaiiested
considerable fondness soT his oespring.

more towards the development and

manhood he developed that love for
the school-room which is a strong re-
quisIte of every real teacher. Adding
to this the other qualifications fitting
him for his chosen work he entered
upon his profession with that vigor
and enthusiasm that characterizes him
as one of the leading educators of our
state. In the school-room he has few
equals; In the teachers institute he has
no superiors. Leaving the surface to
the weaker, he readily strikes to the
foundation, making plain and simple
those hidden truths seldom touched
except by strong and well disciplined
mind. Such a man should not be
permitted to leave our county. Why

Soon the teachers will go out from

a lavish hand which George partook OF
with the same good relish as AT
noon.
The mention Of the days doings
would be very incomplete without
giving the Jolly Fred Linneman, the
owner Of the grounds, some promi-
neuce. Fred is a great fisherman and
his good wife knows how to cook the
finny tribe. too. The fish we're caught
and dressed the day before and Fred
and his many helpers we're kept busy
all the time cooking and dishing them
out to t.eir customers II any there
did not have fish enough to cat II was
his own fault
One OF the pleasing events Of the
day was the awarding of nice rock
ing chair to the Oldest married cou-
pie on the grounds. Mr.. and Mrs.
George Watson, living in the neighbor-
hood. were the lucky pair. We have
known them for 4 number OF years.
They are excellent old-Gme people,

had pulled in connubial harness to-
gether. Mrs. Watsoa's maiden name
was Vance, daughter OF Joseph Vance.

of Charlton, Who lived to 4 ripe old
age.

caSion we're n few men and women,
who have now "silvery threads among

writer's school moye than 10 years
ago, some OF whom we had not seen
for more than so years
We heard some one say on the
ground that day: Nothing Is ever

der that is the case IL the cutertain-
mcnts hoid there are always attended
by as orderly people as congrega.ed
there last Wednesday. May the good
people of that vicinity live to enjoy
many more days like last Wednesday.
There was some disappointment
because of the expected speaker for
the occasion, Hon. w. IL. Bradley OF
Salisbury. not being present, which no
one regrets more than Mr.. Bradley
himself. He was not there for the
reason that the published notice o,
the holding Of the picnic escaped him.
