For reasons Of correct policy it was removed
from Newberry, somc year or SO ago. to tho
, very healthy and thriving town of Wahala,
S. g., and while situated, as it now is, in the
shadow Of q portion Of the great Blue Ridge
chain of mountains, and at the terminus of
the Blue Ridge Railroad, certainly possesses as
great advantages in point Of health, accessi-

1t speaks well for Newberry College From
it, we see, that others are interested in this
institution located in our midst. What shall
we say of some OF orr citizens who have new
er contributed to this Institution, aud who
refuse aid in completing the building, aud ia
making it desirable school for the. education
of our youth? We are told that tho room
occupied by the Professor Of Mathematics is
open and exposed to wind and cold Tho
building should be pniuted, the ground, clear
cd, enclosed, and ornamcutcd. Is it too much
for the citizens Of this town and vicinity, to
complete the building and ornament the
grounds, when the church under whose fos
tering care enc College is placed support the
| Professors? We understand an effort will
soon be made, by the committee, appointed
by the Board of Trustees for that purpose, to
liquidatc the debt, and complete the building

Of roots and logorithms and the intricasies of
tho calculus. The Board has succeeded in
securing the acryl ,cs Of the Rev. Dr.. TURNER,
