Thursday,
May 13, 1965

Did you ever see
a green dog?
We never had, either, until Frank Sharp, of Fairview, brought one in last week. There was a litter of four pups, half Chihuahua and half Manchester, and one was light tan, two white, and one light lime green. They were born Easter morning and it sounded like an Easter egg joke but he declared it was all above board. The color was most noticeable beside the white dog.

Retiring
J. Z. Johnson is retiring this year as principal of Marlinton Graded School, after serving 35 years.
N. N. Whitman, 50, of Frametown, Braxton County, will be the new principal. He has a master’s degree from West Virginia University and principal certificate. He has been principal of Frametown Elementary School. He is married and is the father of two children, both students at the University.
