interest to the public to know how
we are getting along in this part of
the world, so we propose to let them
hear from us occasionally. Our
school is now flush, considering the
times. 1t is often the case when
money and bread are as scarce as
they are now that schools dwindle
down to a small number, and very
often have to suspend entirely, but
we are glad to say that our com
munity has exceedingly broad views
of education, and are willing to
make great sacrifices before they
will let their children grow up in
ignorance. The most Of our people,
however, are able to educate their
children and attend to other matters
besides, and thus we always have a
full school. Prof Geo. W. Camp
bell has been here nearly eight years
and has never had to dismiss his
school yet on account Of numbers.
Since our last term there has been
some. change in our faculty. Prof.
John e. Campbell, who has been
associated for some time with Prof
Z. B. Laramore at Mars Hill in a
high school, has taken Miss Annie
Horne's place, as she preferred to
retire from school life while. We
were afraid that her withdrawal
would be seriously felt, as she is
very popular, and has a wonderful
capacity for imparting what she
knows to her pupils. Since Prof.
John Z. Campbelrs return his old
friends and patrons find that he is
up with all the modern plans of in
structing the young, and that he Is
Just the right man in the right
place, and don't think that we are
worsted by the change. Our young
friend Willie Witt is going to
school at Culleoka this spring. We
are glad to learn that he is sustain
ing himself well. He is only about
sixteen, but nevertheless he took Il
high standing when he entered
there. Webb has about sixty Latin
scholars, but there are only a very
few who stand higher than the
youthful representative from our
Cicero class of 81. No one doubts
but that he viii make it through
the world all right. We have not
head from VIII Burrow since he
left for Texas. He was a hard
student of our school for ten months,
and well advanced. He is thought
to have gone out there to take
charge of school-for which he is
well prepared. Miss Bessie Hig-
don, who has also been a pupil here
| for some time, is attending the
Athen9um at Columbia. Her win
ming manners, popular address and
scholarly habits will, l doubt not,
win for her a high place in Colum-
bia school society. Our scoOl-hOuse
is quite large one, but finding 1t
insufficient to accommodate as many
scholars as we sometime have, the
people have built another room to
the house, which adds greatly to its
utility. We have sufficient room
now to seat one hundred and fifty
scholars, and expect to have every
seat taken next term. We hope
that our liberal people before long
will see the necessity of putting u
nice plank fence around the build
ings and setting out a few more
shade trees, which would greatly
improve appearances. As Lynnville
is the best business place i'll Giles
county, except Pulaski, it is moth
ing but proper that her school
should be next also. Let the people
consider that it is to their school
that they owe much of their pro
gress, and that they can advance
their own individual interest in no
better way than 10y looking after it.
! We have several boarders this term,
two Of whom have been here fifteen
months. Miss Lizzie Tarpley, one
of our most charming girls, visited
her home near Pulaski last week
Nearly all of our pupils have been
vaccinated, from which some have
suffered considerably. Miss Lizzie
Shields. the favorite of our school,
has been absent for a week almost
suffering varioloid. We hope to
see her back next week.
