out a hearing from Dr. Goneke, it did rec

Therefore, be it
Resolved, By the board of education
of Terrell county in office assembled
that in our opinion said action by our
grand jury was unwarrantable and un-
just. That the spirit of our law allows
its humblest citizen a hearing, which
was denied DR.. Goneke. That the
character of a gentleman is too precious
to be tritled with to satisfy the spleen
and to crafty feeling of revenge from
personal enemies.
Resolved further, That. in our opin-
ion, DR.. Goneke is conscientious and
capable officer, that he has been wort b
much to the educational interests of our
county, and that to displace him would
be an injustice to himself and to our
community. G. M HARRIS,

Out to BE Bearing Balls
for Bicycle.

81 have a good joke on myself" said the
business man whose hobby is agriculture,
says the Detroit Free Press. my mind has
always had particular preference for seeds
and roots, and never miss an opportunity
to indulge this fancy. Some time ago, in
looking through an old tool box, came
across several peculiar looking seeds that at
once aroused my interest. They were lit
tie different from anything that had dis
covered during my Horticultural and agricul-
tural experience, and l decided to plant
them and see what the product would be.
Well, did so, and for weeks waited to
see the strange fruit, flower or vegetable
plant make an appearance, carefully nur-
turing the SOIL and giving my pet bulbs the
closest attention.
discouraged at length at their failure to
part the soil and spring into life, dug them
up, and what do you suppose was the dis
covery that made? Why, that my inter-
esting and peculiar bulbs were nothing more
nor less than those little bicycle balls that
are an important part of the steel steed's
mechanism. They had been laid away in the
toolbox, and their size and rusted appearance
made them resemble seeds. My wife and
some of my intimate friends seem to think
there is no excuse for such ludicrous thing
to happen to a man that has made study
of plants and bulbs, and they are never done
chatting me and asking me when expect
to gather my crop of bicycles"

man.
The girl dangled bait more obvious.
I'D be perfectly happy" she said, "if I
were as pretty as she is"
Bad fishing weather. The young man
merely settled his tie a trile:
"Oh, WE'LL" he remarked, there's no use
being unhappy about things that can't be
helped"
