A stranger wandered into town
last Friday looking for work. AS
our farmers were on the lookout
for harvest hands he was quickly
accommodated. One farmer was
on the eve Of hiring the stranger,
but the mar made the fatal mistake
OF taking off his hat, when the
farmer discovered that his new
farm hand parted his hair in
the middle, and it was all over With
him, as the farmer said he couldn't
stand for that. The stranger said
he had come from the Kansas har-
vest Rkelds. but heard the wages
were better here.-Glasgow Missou-
rian.

The Fourth being on Sunday this
year many predicted that it would
be noisy nevertheless. But they
were mistaken. The day was AS
strictly observed Is any o'her Sun
day and we heard bls one shot
fired which We are told w1s fired
by some young men from the coul-
try from a revolver. This speaks
we'll for Marshall boys All theic
parents.

The breaking Of a contract on the
part of a teacher who agrees to
teach a school will hereafter mean
the forfeiture of certificate, unless
said teacher is released by a vote
OF two-thirds of the school DO lrd.
Some teachers have a way OF break
ing a contract without the consent
OF the board whenever offered a
better position. The new INV will
put a stop to such a practice.

will remain in circulation twenty
five years as the law forbids a
more, frequent change.
