ACADEMY NOTES.

School was resumed Tuesday
morning Feb. 81 after two weeks
dismissal for the protection of the
children from the measles epidemic
which has been going about pretty
freely, s-veraa distfscts 1n'rne pfue
Grass being affected. Owing to
the prompt dismissal and the COM
plete isolation of the one case that
developed in school no other cases
developed. The only cases appear
ing being contracted from outside.
The school authorities very much
regretted having to dismiss but as
twas advised by doctors it was
done with the qualification of say
ing, "A stitch in time saves nine"
During the two weeks dismissal
all the students went home so that
those left in addition to the teach
ers were: Russell Little, Courtney,
Noah and Dorsey Wells, Charlie
Combs, Hala Wells, Bertha and
Marida Robinson, Madpe aud
| Gladys Cooper. Fern French and
Lilly Shockey. Miss Combs and
Mr.. MacNiell spent one week OH a
visit at home. The rest was a
welcome one but the temperance
/ of the students was hailed with
some delight. There are very few
who failed to return.

some few weeks owing to sickness
in the family is again in school.

just in the prime of life and vigor
of manhood. He belongs to fam
lily widely connected, being of kin

He speedily and properly executed
all the papers that came into his
snds, cslleassas lAs-s axSz. llso:sss

REV. JAMES NICKEL

In the proper place the front page will be found the
who himself candidate for the Republican
inaton for Assessor He also says few words in regard
his candidacy his signature.
While do not take part in Republican primaries,
take great pleasure presenting Mr. Nickel the Repub
lican of the county. We know Jim. He is good
and we believe that every word he says. Most
every body in Wolfe county knows him and the good work
he has carried on We have heard him accused of
not believing and praccng what he preached Very often
good accused of not doing the right thing We
have heard any accusations against Jm he must
be the very best
We feel that Republican brrtheren could make
mistake in nominating him and with these few remarks
leave him to them and hope they will give his claims due
consideration.

ing his own affairs. A man who
can manage his own business sue
cessfully aud we'll may, in most
instances, be depended upon to
properly transact the business of
the people. He is honest, sober,
industrious and fearless. In the
discharge of an official duty he
knows no friend or foe, party or
favorite, but is guided solely by
duty and honor.
He was candidate for this office
IN the last regular primary for
county offices and was defeated by
a small majority, and he now pre-
sents himself again, feeling that
the fact that he went down in de-
feat in the last race will more
fully direct the minds of the peo-
pie of the county to his merits
and qualifications for the Office
and emphasize the fact that he
really wants the office. He is a
