Locking Out the ICachcr.-St. ClairsNile Gazette:
Country people still have some of the old time enjoy
men,s. In a rural school district in this state in the
county opposite Hunting, w. Va. following the old
time custom. the pupils locked out the teacher the week
before tn" holidays because he refused to treat them.
The teacher contrived to get inside the building
and began to apply the switch to the boys. \ young
lady ~ Years of age and weighing 1868 pounds told him
not t" whip the boys or she would whip him. The
teacher gave her a stroke of the switch and she at
tackled him at once.
He was run around the room, but when finally
corncr"d struck the girl with his fist on the nose and
eyes. She called on the boys to help and the teacher
got out his porketknif" and was ready for a cutting
scrape. The pupils abandoned the fight and the matter
was then placed in the hands OF tho local justice of
the peace for settlement according to law.
OF course there is much excitement and no end Of
talk i'm tn" neishhorhood. and the people will have real
enjoyment of the holiday season. 1t is gratifying to
know that the telephones. automobiles and free de-
livery have not destroyed all the old time customs and
enjoyment.

nounrcd that Atlantic City will not permit during the
