Taxahaw can boast of as many
teachers teaching in the public
schools as any other place of the
same size. There are three resi-
dent teachers, viz: Prof j G.
Massey now teaching the Flat
Crock school, Prof George Nc
Manus, now teaching the White
Bluff school, and Prof w p Nc,
Manus of the Midway school.
Mr.. McManus has moved his
family to Camden, where they
expect to make their home in the
future. We regret very much to
give them up as they were among
the best of our citizens, but we
would wish them success in their
now home.
Guess what young man has his
head set toward Trsdesville and
has to go further before he catches
up with his best girl, also what
young man is sorrowing because
his best girl has gone to Camden.
