NORMAL SCHOOL.
This is perhaps the greatest work accom-.
pished by the institution. Six pupils completed
the course and received diplomas last Commence.
The students from this school readily find en-
poyment in the public schools OF the State. and
receive the countenance and confidence OF the
county superintendent.
The trustees of tho Peabody fund, at It's meet
ing in February last, made an appropriation of
five hundred dollars to aid In the work of pre-.
pariug teachers. This sum has been divided into
ten scholarships Of fifty dollars each, TO be be-
slowed upon advanced but indigentHtudents who
nic unable to complete. unaided, the Normal
course. In bestowing these scholarships I shall
endenvor TO be guided by the judgment Of the
able superintendent of public instruction.

worked mostly by student labor, under the SUI

The cotton and corn crops have been cut short
the present year by at least one-half the average
yield which will diminish the resources to that
amount. but the $500 from the Peabody Fund
being added, we hope to be able to disburse to
worthy and needy students some $4,000 the
present year
The special appropriation of 5000 has en-
abled me 10 provide much needed cotton and
corn houses. The contingent fund was reduced
