L. H. Brown, a negro teacher who has been in charge of the school at Ne- riah church, between Senoia and Har alson, is now out of a job. Early in the year Brown applied for the school referred to, and, exhibiting a State li cense as proof of his eligibility and competency, County School Commis sioner Ham made a contract with him to teach the school. Some weeks ago, however. Commissioner Ham learned that Brown, before coming to Coweta county, had been arraigned in the City Court of Cordele on the charge of cot ton-stealing. He investigated the ru mor and found it to be true ;—moreover, that Brown was convicted and sen tenced to pay a fine of $125.

All the facts in the case have since been communicated to the State School Commissioner, and the prospects are that Brown’s license will be revoked. Card of Thanks.
