He then went into detail in regards to the murder. Ths substance of which was that Bryan did not know there was a bullet in the revolver when he fired at Avery- On cross examination the State showed that SchuUz was a man with an un enviable reputeeion and in many ways tore down his evidence so that it was evident that it was unreliable, Edna Allen, Roe Morris and Ida Rhodes who live on West and Cedar St. told of being in the house with Baker Bryan on the night of the shooting and of the celebration by the occupants of the bouse by shooting blank cartridges and fireworks. Their evidence consum ed considerable time but in tbe opinion of many was immaterial.

Domestic Science Teacher Resigns., The essays have been assigned the graduatlng'class and this much talked of task is on. There should be no vei y great trouble in this work, which is the last t equirment of the course in com position. ' All through the grammar grades the essentials of correct writing are drilled and illustrated. Then begin ning with the 8 B Grade, we now have three years in which a more advanced study of composition is pursued. At least once a week, for this length of time, three years, a piece of English work is written, handed in. corrected, returned and afterwards discussed with the class and often with the individual. - In the Literature courses espicaliy and more often, but in almost every course pursued in High School, topics for research and fairly long written work on the same are required. The task in this essay writting is to read widely on the subject assign d, for several weeks, then organize this in formation into a reasonable outline in accordance with the laws of jiood com position, planning then to write out, in the easiest best English possible, the facts thus collected. Of course copied work is not accepted, and as the in structor has been reading the uritte-i work of each pupil for three straigh years, the style and ability of each h pretty well known. As the word es says implies,' this work is a trial, a first attempt at formal finished writing. On account of the crowded condition of the 8 B Grade, it has been neeessary to divide the grade into two sections, and Miss Mamie Hunter Richardson was transferred and placed in charge of the new section. In order to provide a room, a partition was placed in the HIJ Grade rocm, in the Griffin Building and the 8B and 7A put in the small rooms, permitting the 5A Grade to be trans f erred from the Central Building into the Griffin Building. Miss Mollie Heath was transferred from the 1st Grade to the Advanced 1st, going up with the grade, and Miss Sura Richardnon was placed in the lower sec tion of the grade. The 4A, 4B and 6B grades still have over fifty pupils each. The trained bird and animal exhibit, which was given for the benefit of the Athletic Association on Monday after noon, was very well attended and $i.65 was realized to help pay -the indebted ness of the Athletic Association. On account of sickness, Mrs. Lyon Ferguson, teacher of D.jmestic Science, has been compelled to resign her posi tion. Mrs. . Ferguson left here sick, during the wtek of he snow ami went to her home in Durham, and has not sufficiently recovered to take up her work during this term.
