We note that Prof W. A. Stuckey
recently principal OF the Moses Lew
Memorial Institute, has been called to

schools for the city of Newberry. This
position pays considerably more than
the school here, and better field for
one who has adopted teaching as a pro-
fession for life. We wish Prof. Stuckey
much success in his new field, and hope
the people OF Newberry will appreciate
his faithful service.

give information with regard to the

are number of Mitchums IN Claren-
don. but we do not know any by the
name of ''Rufin" who left here about
six years ago, and should any OF our
readers know of such person perhaps
thev will be doing a kindness TO inform
Rufin Mitchum's father that he might
communicate with Miss Belle Webb,

pound bale gains nothing by it,and 43C
