OXFORD TEACHER |S
 FORGED ID RESIGN
Sick on Date of Last Teach ers' Examination - Acci-
 dent Narrowly Averted

Anniston, January 7.-(Special.) .)-By the peculiar operation of law which many Oxford poole characterize as unjust, Miss Belle Andrews is no longer the teacher in charge of the primary department of the Oxford schools.
 On the date of the last teachers ex- animation Miss Andrews was suffering severely with an abscessed tooth, and was unable to take the examination pre- scribed by law. Notwithstanding the fact that she presented certificates from pr. R. c. Young and Dr. J. M. Whiteside, her failure to take the examination de- been compelled to tender her resignation. By the people of Oxford Miss Andrews has long been and is now regarded as permanent part of the school machinery and for a number of years the mothers of the town have started their little ones to school for the first time knowing that Miss Belle was on the job and would look after them well. Many of the people of Oxford are much exercised over the forced resignation of Miss Andrews and determined effort will be made by them to secure for their popular teacher what they consider a fair deal
