THE PUBLIC SCHOOL

School opened September lst
after four long months of vaca-
ton, one fourth of a year. Indi-
cations point to a heavier enroll
ment than in the earlier history
of the school; last year the total
enrolment reached 16l. No
doubt this is the last year the old
building will be able to accommo-
date the rapidly increasing
number of children, necessitating
an addition for next year. Be-
ginning pupils should start now
as no class will be arranged after
Nov. | and absolutely no time
can be given new beginners in
the spring.
The parochial school also be-
gan Sept. l, under the direction
of Miss Christensen and con-
tinues four months closing Dec.
81. The first two months will be
for the smaller children up to
and including fourth grade. The
last two months beginning Oct.
n will be for the larger ones.
All children between the ages
Of 8 and Is, except if the eighth
grade has been completed, are
by law compelled to attend school
the entire eight months unless
excused by the board. Parents
having children of compulsory
attendance age and being unable
to allow them to attend from the
beginning Of the term should
secure excuse from the school
board in order to avoid later en-
barrassment.
Three teachers will be in
charge of the public school the
first four months. Miss Emma
Jacobsen will conduct the
primary room. She has had one
years training at Mankato Nor
NAL and three summer sessions
in addition to the last year spent
at Grand View College, Des
Moines where she pursued the
teachers course. Miss Jacobsen

Mysteriously Disappeared.

A man by the name of j. F.
Johnson, a tenant of the Burney
farm, two miles east of Trimble and
in Obion County, mysteriously dis
appeared on the morning of June 25,
1915. He left his home at o'clock
that morning to go to Obion to do
some trading for himself and wife.
At her request he was to get himself
suit of clothes and a pair of shoes
for his wife and baby, and they
were to visit on Saturday his moth
er and brother near Rutherford.
Johnson had been assisting w. w.
Pierce in the wheat harvest for sew
eral days and Mr.. Pierce had paid
him thirty dollars just a few days
before this time. He had turned
the money over to his wife, and
when he started from home that
morning she gave him this money.
He bought the suit of clothes at the
Nichols store and about IL o'clock
he left and said that he must get
back home. He still had on his
suit of overalls and carried his new
suit in a box under his arm. He
paid part on the suit of clothes and
then had, about twenty dollars left.
A strange man, with whom he had
met some time that morning. was
with him at the time he made this
purchase and knew he, had some
money left. This party walked
away from the store with him and
the two walked on towards the de-
pot, which was in the direction of
Johnson's home. This party was ar
rested and after several hours of de-
tention and sweating by the officer
he was turned loose as he showed
where he was from that time until |
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1915-07-02

the next morning. The officer made
search of his room and person and
found nothing to indicate anything
suspicious.
Johnson was a man of family,
wife and five children, and had
good reputation for honesty and in
tegrity and when asked by the Of
ficer if he drank any, his wife said
that sometimes he would take a
drink, though not often. Johnson
had lived for several years not far
from the present home and no rea-
son can be assigned by those who
knew him best for this escapade.
Some think that he was followed out
on the levy, which is close to Obion,
by someone who knew he had some
money with him and robbed him
and after killing him threw him in
the Obion River or that he was hid
in the cane and underbrush. 9th
ers think that he may have just de-
serted his wife and children, Thoughts
he seemed to be devoted to them, al
searching party was organized and
the bottom was examined but no
trace of him was found. J

we will refund the cost of the medicine.
