Indeed the pre whole affair is pretty well understood throughout the town, the people geuerally being in pos lho session of the facts to a more Southe complete extent than would be ke*d ir warranted in a newspaper pub- we?h, Heat ion. Briefly, however, the '^ie at trouble is like this. Some months cotton ago, two boy pupils were sus- Mr. J* pended for alleged gross rniscon- ^le duct. Tne order of suspension uml)ia was made by Mr. J. C. Allen, or?ani: the superintendent. It was in- war on definite in its effect; but as Mr. change Allen did not give any intimation ture9 0 of rescinding it, the matter was converi taken before the trusteee. The migrat trustees after reviewing the mer- cussed its of the case to the best of their f?vor,n ability with the light available, immig verbally indicated their approval Southe of Mr. Allen's action ; but sug- ^m0 ge?ted that the Suspended boys 8PeHke might be re-insta'ed. Mr. Allen Hoke handed over the keys of the Ex Go school. He was persuaded to olina. withhold his resignation on the crown assurance that the Intimated de- imousl sire of a majority of the board ^otv was merely by wa}T of suggestion ^on t0 and entirely unofficial. The statu v*e ^01 quo was maintained for some dent, weeks alter this incide :t until it t he ass was brought up at another meet- Hickor ing of the board Tuesday night. W A' this meeling the former infci- secreta mated action was incorporated in Varolii a set of resolutions commending South 1 and endorsing the course of the zer? superintendent in the matter ; 'inftnci but again expressing as the sentiment of the board Hie stiggi s- Tedd> tion that the punishment had ,? been sufficient and the suspend ed boys might be re insta'ed.? 50,0 Upon being presented with the resolutions Wednesday morning, Mr. Allen again tendered hia r? fltc situation, and turned over the hPeahi keys. who co Grand Mr. Lloyd Moore and his love- Indus! ly bride came over from Fort ca. in Lawn Saturday night and spent adopte Sunday with the former's pa- I'resid< rents, Mr and Mrs W.
