Professor Calhoun Is Well Again.

PRESTON, GA, June 24.-S m
weeks ago Professor J. G. Calhoun,
principal of the Preston Academy, was
stricken with sciatica. Believing his
ailment would be prolonged, he aided
IN securing the services of Professor
J. M. Layfield for the remainder of the
erm and to make up for time lost.
Professor Layfeld is easily filling the
position with satisfaction to all. But
the citizens are especially pleased by
the fact that Professor Calhoun, the
Nestor of South west Georgia instruc-
tors. has been completely restored to
health by the advanced medical science,
and is having a long needed rest.
