Some Oppose Law
A movement for pension law for
teachers has been under way for sew

its way into the unfortunate mans
head, leaving a CHASTITY wound. Death
resulted almost Instantly.

tracted by the sound of the gun, but

came apprehensive. A thorough
search was instituted and he was
found crumpled on the floor of the

suffer with the South in the re-
adjustment incident to the Civil War,
Miss Leitia Carson learned in the
school Of experience the breadth Of
vision and depth Of feeling that made
her a sympathetic and beneficent in
fluence in all the walks Of life.
In youth she enjoyed the adulation

talent and her time were given to ed
