EXAMINATION FOR
TEACHERS IN MAY

The next examination for teach
ers will be offered May 1926 at the
court house in Camden.
The County Board of Education
urges all teachers who do not hold
certificates which will continue in
force over next year to take advan-
tage of this examination.
Following are those that should
take this examination, Teachers
whose certificates expire this year,
unless said teachers attend sum-
mer school for period of six
weeks in some accredited school ;
teachers who hold two year certifi-
Gates, but wish to raise their grades;
prospective teachers, who hold no
certificates.
It seems to be the general senti-
ment of the board that no teacher
will be elected to position with
the expectation that such teacher
will qualify later. 1t is certain that
the holders of certificates will be
given first consideration.
Election of teachers will occur
the third Saturday in June.

County Superintendent of Public

Mrs. Sarah e. Gain. aged 72,
died at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. ]. W. Hudson, near Postoak
last Friday, of tuberculosis. Mrs
Gain had been an invalid for the
past fifteen years, and her death,
while it is generally regretted, will
cause no surprise. Her pastor,
Rev. L. N. Wilkes, conducted the
funeral service and her body was
laid to rest at Cowell's Chapel
Cemetery in the presence of a large
assembly of friends and relatives.
Mrs. Cain was born May |, 1850.

January Is, 1870. To this union
was born three children, IL. l..
Cain, Mrs. Ella Hudson and Rice
Gain. The latter is living at La
tonia, Ark.
Mrs. Cain was bereft of her
husband when the children were
small. This entailed much hard
work and many privations for
"Aunt Sarah" as everyone called
her. but she was a(sweet, cheerful,
kindly mother, and somehow she
weathered the storms of life and
reared her flock.
The deceased was a member of
the NJ. e. Church, South, at Cow
ellis Chapel for fifty-four years.
Her sterling integrity of character
and religious zeal stamped her in
deed as woman of rars worth.
True to her convictions of duty in
all the relations of life and to her
Savior above all, she was patiently
waiting for the final summons
with her clamps trimmed and burn
ing"-resdy for the Masters call.
