when anything went wrong in the cho-

apt to chime in with that awful voice
and set the teeth Of all hearers on edge

The High School at Craigsville open
ed Monday with four teachers and
large attendance, many OF the scholars
coming from quite distant points.
This attendance is made possible by
the running of free delivery wagons,
novel feature in the school work for
this part of the county. Some of the
remote schools where average atten-
dance could not be kept up, have been
suspended and the children from these
districts are collected every morning
in large covered spring wagons and
brought to the Craigsville school. The
wagons will accommodate about ~ to
rs children each. and are run out be-
yOnd Glovertown In one direction and
out Ramsey's Draft in the other. The
experiment has met with great favor,
in that 1t gives the advantage of
strong central school and an academic
course to pupils who would otherwise
have only primary school in their
respective neighborhOodS. This also
insures the longer school term of eight
months.
Rev. R. F. Staples, pastor of the new
Baptist church at Fordwick. had the
misfortune to sprain his ankle verv

pointed for Sunday the 10th.
