Someone has started story down
at Klrwin that Supt Stryker has de-
cided to revoke the certificate of any
teacher who refuses to attend normal.
That is about in line with other cam.
paign lies, as Stryker has issued no
such order. Of course the teacher
who fails to attend normal stands in
his own light, but this non. attendance
cuts no figure with aCertihcate. The
power which issues the certificate is
the only one that eau revoke it.
Mrs. @ E Springer, who resided
north of this city for some twenty
years is now living at Cedar Edge,
Colo. Some evil minded person has
been circulating stories derogatory to
the lady's character. Her many friends
in this section are very much wrought
up about the matter and request us
to say that during all the years of her
residence here she conducted herself
in the most proper manner and was
considered among the best citizens Of
the county.
