"I've been studying a plan by v hieh you and I can commit sui cide," were the words addressed by Lewis A.

The Republi cans of - McConnellsburg nomi nated Miss L. V. Hess for the of fice of school director and she was elected by a vote that made the men's heads swim with envy. When the board organized in Tuue, she was made president, md served her full term of three years.
