Two small children weie re-
moved from a white school in
Virginia on the ground that
they had negro blood in their
veins. An Investigation showed
that their great-great- grand
mother was one fourth Indian.
They were still declared to be
a menace to the success Of the
school and requested to remain
out.

In regard to the bridge that
the county contemplates building
across the Little Colorado at
Woodruff. We think that it
would be a great advantage to
st. Johns, Concho and other
towns in that vicinity if it were
built about four miles above Hol-
brook thereby leaving out all the
bad road on the south side Of the
river, which would need about
$4,000 worth of work before they
could haul freight over it. 1t
would also be great advantage
to tourists visiting the Petrified
Forest.-HolbrOok Argus.
We suggest that bridge be
built some where in that vicinity
and that it be built in the near
future.
