Republican and good man. He
is well known to our people and
very popular. Has taught In King

county, was reelected assistant
teacher at Falrmont.
Prof. i. J. Corbly, of the Hun

such good school man and has
such a hold on the school and the

politics that the Board did not dare
to remove him. Down at Athens

Grafton Public Schools. Kimler is
good school man, but being a
Democrat from Virginia, he had to
