THE NEW TEACHERS.
Ou last Monday the Conyers Board
selected its teachers for the next school
year. The selections were Professor
GleuD, of Washington, Ga., Supt. and
Misses Ida Siafford, Minnie Smith,
Bessie Almand and Daisy Taylor as
teachers in different grades.
It wilt be hard for the board to ex¬
plain satisfactorily to the people
why some of the changes were made
just as they were. Miss Smith and
Miss Stafford were the only old teach¬
ers returned.
We are informed that Miss Stafford
will not serve, as she has accepted a
splendid position in some college.
In this event the board will select
some one in her stead.
