ton end viii Take up work in Nor

signed also. Thomas, in writing To
The Courier on business, takes occa.
sion to say: 81 am leaving for my
Job In insurance work in Norfolk,
where I have already agreed to work
IN a straight life company. 1t Is with
reluctance that + leave the old pal
metto' for the old Dominion and
as I looked upon the smoky ridge Of
Poor Mountain as I stood in the door
Of my school house, it indeed filled
me with sadness. For the last six
years l have toiled necessarily for
the much-neglected children in Wal
halla. AS to how much I was able to
accomplish, I leave that for the fu-
ture." Thomas Is n Of the best
qualified teachers Of the colored race
in our county, and we regret that he
will no longer have the oversight of
the colored school here. Over a period
OF twenty years the editor OF The
Courier has had business dealings Of
various kinds with Thomas and we
have found him uniformly courteous
and polite, with a degree Of honor
and regard for his obligations that
we can most highly commend.
It is with regret that we lose
him from among our colored citi-
zens, and we wish for him a full
measure OF success.
