coffin and the body was burned. The
grave was in the Conasauga cemetery,
about two miles from here.
Ernest Hunt, a farmer living IN The
neighborhood, was passing along the road
near the cemetery, early today, and was at
tracted by the smoke at the grave. Upon
investigation, he found that the grave had
been opened and the remains burned. At
ter the fire was extinguished, guards were
placed around the cemetery and blood
hounds we're sent for 1t is undertood a
searching investigation is being made to-
night. Duggan, in his life time, Il IS

There were appropriate "stunts" and
games for the first part of the evening,
and dancing followed. The costumes
for the occasion were aprons and over
alls. Refreshments were served TO

1t WAS hoped that Oxford, South

basket ball league in order to make an
even number of entrants, but these
schools did not feel able TO do so. A
cup Is to be presented to the team win
ming the cham pionship. Two years
ago there was such league, but last
season IL was discontinued. All the
schools are now eager to resume the or
ganized league and some good basket
ball may be looked for.

Truant Officers Report
,wn School Committee:

Town School Committee:
During the month of october the
truant officer has written one letter
and made fourteen personal visits.
There have been at least nine eases of
truancy from one school. On account
OF the extreme youth Of the culprits 1T
has been unusually difficult to apply a
remedy which would be understood
by the boys. fhe police, the prosecut-
ing attorney, and the state agent have
all been brought into the problem. The
police have also helped out in case OF
wiliulness on the part of parents who
refused 10 send the child to school be-
cause he had been punished. A great
help in the case was the fact that the
boy was not allowed to enter any other
school.
Respectfully submitted,
L.. +. Bailey, Truant Officer.
