reelection TO the position he now
holds, in 1916, for the reason that

terests of the county than any other.
That owing TO his selection of an in

present institute is due, and we con-
slider this institute the best ever

satisfactory, and we most specially

We found him thoroughly alive to
the needs of the teachers, and with
his pleasing personality, he has the
happy faculty of gaining new friends
as well as the art of retaining the old
ones. His standing as teacher
and the distinction he enjoys as
being one of the founders of the
Ancient and Honorable Order of
Hilarious HOOlies cOmmends him in
the warmest of fraternal feeling
