teachers OF this Countrywide expect to
come in town this winter to pursue their
studies-when they learn that the board
OF education find it will be impossible to
find room for them. It's too bad there
is not the room to spare, but would be

the office, Com'r Duniord, seems to have

in the third district; as no convention
WAS held and his was the only petition
filed. In the fifth the boys were evident
w too busy to convene but twopetitiont

for fling, one from C. r. VanNor
man and the other from VIM. N. Wright

of friends to vote and work for him.
