"1 Weds Man She Hid Wronged.
Jacksonville, Ind., May 29. Just 20
years from the day that she sent Lige
Fielden, her sweetheart, to the pen because
she believed he had stolen her
ring, Miss Mollie Lienkeart will be married
to the man whose innocence was
only recently established. The date of
the wedding is June 20. From the day
Fielden was sentenced no word passed
between him and Miss Lienkeart until
a week ago, when Joshua Bowels, a
farmer living on the place that had
formerly been occupied by the Lienkeart
family^ found iii a dried-up soring
the missing ring where Miss Lienkeart.
herself had lost it. Overwhelmed by
remorse at the injury she had done,
Miss Lienkeart, who had not married
in the meantime held a reception in
honor last week and today announcement
was made of the coining marriage

MRS. E. B. ROOF.
Mrs. E. B. Roof, head of the Music
Department, came from a family of
musicians and grew up in musical atmosphere.
She was assistant to her
mother before taking charge of a class
of her own. She has taught for 22
yours in Lexington, and for 12 consecutive
terms has been in charge of the
music department in the institute,
rhis department has grown and is
still growing. During the last session
Mrs. Roof had 21 pupils under her
care. 8he has been repeatedly relented,
which is ample proof of hrr
very efficient work.
KISS LUCILLE EFIRD.
Miss Lucille Efird, teacher of expression,
is a graduate of the College for
Wamen, Columbia, and is a young
woman of many brilliant attainments.
She has taught for two years in the
institute and her work has given universal
satisfaction. Her department
Is fast becoming one of the most important
in the school and is growing
in numbers. The class in expression
last session numbered 26.
The school, in all its departments,
if* in a very flourishing condition.
Thorough and faithful work is done
bbth by the teachers and by the students.
The earollment has increased
about one-third of itself during the
past two years. The students show a
very marked improvement in doing
their part to aid good order and proficient
work of the school. The trus
tees are ever oil the lookout for the
best interest of the school. The parents
heartily support the school and
co-operate in t"he management of the
school. Other portions of the county
have given liberal support.
The tenth grade has been added to
fully prepare our boya and girls either
for a successful college course or for
the duties of active life. The preparation
can be had here at home at a
very small cost compared with getting
h at some distant place.
We feel that all of Lexington is
proud of the measure of success attained
by her school. In a word, the
future is bright and promising.
Another School Muddle.
A committee consisting of Messrs. 0.
M. Adams, H. D. Lowman, Franklin
Hallman, Andrew Shealy, Jeter Boatwright,
and Samuel Shealy, representing
school district No. 19, of Cbinequt pin
township, called on County Superintendent
of Education A. D. Martin,
on Monday, to lay before that gentle
man a rather peculiar and somewhat
interesting school muddle.
About four years ago it appears that
the district voted a four-mill tax levy
for the purpose of improving the
school building. Now the majority of
the freeholders in the district want
the tax revoked, and they assert that
they have repeatedly presented petitions,
signed by the regular required
number of voters, for an election to
decide the matter, and that no attention
has been paid to their request.
They claim that a petition was sent
to the county board, more than a year
ago, through Mr. J. E. R. Kyzer, the
then county superintendent, for an
election, but no attention was given
the matter. Now, it seeins, that a
move is on foot to have the building
moved from its present location to
another point, and the committee was
looking after this also. One of the
gentlemen stated that the matter
would be fought out in the courts before
the majority would submit to the
ouilding being moved from its present
location.
Mr. Martin assured the committee
:hat he would call a special meeting
\f nnnnhr hnnrd tr> consider the
matter and would do all in hi9 power
:o give the relief demanded. It is
noped that an amicable agreement
ivill he reached.
Cleric Shsaly Sick.
Mr. Frank W. Shealy, Lexington's
Dopular and efficient clerk of the
2ourt, has been confined to his bed
or the past two days with fever. We
oin his many friends in wishing for
him a speedy recovery.
