The Teacher* meeting for Chcrryville township was held at the Sellar* school house last Friday, the 12. The presence of a large crowd changed the meeting into an education rally.

FMIsdctokU U<hn. Washington, February 4.— Representative W. Godfrey Hunter, the only Republican Congressman from Kentucky, had a disappointing experience to-day. He went to the White Honae to suggest the name of Judge Morrow, of Mount Ster ling, Ky., for pension agent. He understood the President to say that no appointment would be made until Judge Morrow's claims could be presented for mally to him. Then he went down to the Capitol, where he was astounded to learn that the President bad just sent in the name of Major A. T. Wood for the place. Major Wood, it seems, bad been recommended by Internal Revenue Com mis Stoner Yerkes. There is a factional fight in Hunter's district, anq Kentuckians say that Hunter’s opponents will make the incident a campaign cry, claiming that Hunter is evidently persona non grata at the White Honse. It may de test Hunter for re-election.' Ex-Congressman Irwin had sought the piece. "The Presi dent told me." said Mr. Irwin, when he heard of Wood’s ap pointment, "that his predictions were in favor of appointing me. When be said that I knew I bad no chance. He once told me he would ^appoint Col. Stone col lector of Louisville.* On another occasion he told me he would appoint Gen. Collier, surveyor of the port. He didn’t appoint either of them. When he told me about his predictions I knew the game was up." Nat a ’Possum Bat a lafflaanaka. WilkMbore ChroalcU. Out on the Brushies. one morning last week, Mr. Rufus Frazier had a rather exciting ex perience. His dog treed what he thought td be a 'possum the morning after the snow fell. It was in a sort of a rock cleft. He reached in and got hold of what he thought to be the tail of a 'possum. He quickly jerked it oof. but to his astonish meat it was a big rattler, which struck at biiu, just barely missing his hand. The rattler ran bamc in the bole. He got his mattock and, digging into the bole, found three rattlers, which put up a stubborn fight before be got them killed. Subscribe for Tkb Gastonia QazxTtx.
