To the school DIRECTORS.

This question is often asked me by the
Directors: "How few pupils should a
school have before it is suspended?"
think where number falls below II or Is
the school should be stopped. submit
ted this question to the State Superin,
tendent and he said this was entirely in
the discretion of the Directors; but was
of the opinion that 10 or 10 was few as
any school ought to continue with.
think it is the duty of the Directors to
either stop the school, or reduce the SAL
aries OF the teachers, when the number
is below II or -. II. T. GORDON.

What a Nashville woman has Accom-
pItshel.

Among the many substantial tributes
to the sufferers in the yellow fever dis
tricts, we are pleased to record that Mrs.
James Y. Leigh, of Norfolk, Virginia,
formerly Miss Fannie Johnson, of this
city, gave a concert at Norfolk, last
Tuesday, on which occasion she realized
eight hundred and thirty-five dollars,
four hundred OF which she forwarded to
the Mayor of Shreveport, and the rest,
four hundred and thirty-tiYe dollars, to
the Mayor of Memphis, to be used for
the benefit of the sufferers in their re-
spective cities.
The citizens of Nashville, who have
on many occasions enjoyed Mrs. Leigh's
delicious IN Isle, will not be surprised to
learn that her concert was no less a sue
| cess, artistically, than it has proved fl
nancially. Tennessee may well be
proud of her daughter.-NGShviILe Ban

In Mina.

Mr.. Ed Williams new house, on
South Main Street, which was assuming
such Colossal proportions week ago, is
now partially in ruins. The northern
wall gave way, and carried a part OF
Mayes q DOdson's stable with it, and
the middle wall fell with a laundering
crash Monday night, and destroyed
large quantities of brick and timbers.
We do not believe the house can ever
DO built, safely, on the present plan.
The wall is too high and too long to be
only supported by wood sleepers. Mr..
Williams loss will be very heavy. He
has done more towards improving the
town in the last few years than any
man in the county, and we deeply res
greet, as every citizen must regret, his
misfortune. Everybody should give
him all Kind of aid, except advice.
His experience is better than advice.
