Prof. J. o. Cannon, who recently
entered into contract with the
board of trustees as principal of
Brodhead Graded and High School
arrived one day last week In a
motor truck from Carlisle. Their
household goods were unloaded
and with his lady they managed to
stay over night, but early next
morning loaded their belongings
into the truck and left the dig
gins The only excuse the Pro
fessor offered was that his lady
wouldn't live in a town like Brod
head. We admit that there may
be better towns but we doubt
that there is a man, and especially
a school professor, in the state
that is worse ''hen. pecked" than
is the Cannon unloaded here, aud
if the gentleman cannot govern
his house better than he demon
strated here we suggest that it
would be wise to change his Ma me
. to a pop gun. The board con.
tracted with Prof Strange, of
Glens Fork, Ky., and school will
begin next Monday week, just
the same as if the Cannon hadn't
exploded here at all. We hope,
however, that Mr.. Strange won't
act as strange as the cannon did.
Harrison Ray, of Lancaster. is
here this week the guest of his
aunt, Mrs. Larkin Hicks.
