Third District.

! The public school at Hicks Chapel
closed here Friday with sad farewell
address from Mrs. Ella Bronson and
Miss Nora Mccullough, the two teach
ers in charge. There was large
crowd in attendance to witness the
closing exercise. A fine program was
arranged for the occasion, and it was
carried out to letter. These two
ladies have taught one of the best pub.
lie schools that have been taught here
for several years and they have the
full endorsement of the public and
command the respect of the patrons of
this school district, and when these
two noble and valuable ladies dismiss
ed their school with sad farewell. a
sad expression appeared on the faces
of all, and tears came into their eyes,
at the pain of the thought that life is
uncertain and death would come and
perhaps claim some of the dear stu
dents before they ever meet again.
The thought was more than some
could bear and the cup overlooked.
All we ask is to give these same
two ladies our public school the COM
ing year and we will be satisfied. 1t
is my highest ambition to accord to
each of them the highest honor and
respect that can be bestowed on any
ladies as public school teachers. /
cheerfully recommend them to any
public school district and officials and
patrons where ever they may hereafter
be assigned as teacher by the board of
public instruction. will cheerfully
vouch for the two ladies above referred
to, and at no time will you ever re-
greet the employment of them.

j. E. Condra, deputy sheriff, asked
me to correct false report which has
been going its rounds, that no took a
prisoner to Jasper to Jail last week
after his fine and costs for public
had been secured. He
said that such rumor is false and Ii
belous, and is based on a falsehood.
The fine and costs were not secured
by anyone and he plead for the defend
ant in court and tried to get his fine
secured before the court issued a nit
timus to carry him to Jail, and the
fine was not secured until he had de-
livered him to Jail, and he asked that

public may know the true facts in the
case.
