that the Trustees have had a meeting

School, male and female, at Edge.
field c. q. This is certainly pro.
gressive step and move in the right
direction. Having children to edu-
cate myself, and having had some
indefinite idea of going to the village
to live, I am ulyglad to see that t
people of that place are waking II
to the Importance of home schools;
for the education Of our children, and
to the very great necessity of a High
School, male and female, at Edgefeld
G. H. And now, Messrs. Editors
if you have, and know you have,
the good of the soGss and daughters in
and around Edgetield Village at
heert, and feel very deeply interested
in Edgefeld's future prosperity, and
would like to zee the vacant housea
in and Ground Edge6eld occupied,
and the place build up and put on a
brighter and happier aspect say il
you would like all this, and more,
Just allow me to advise that you keep
tue matter constantly before the peo.
pie, by advocating High School for
EdgeGeld in every Issue of your pa
per. Get your lawyers to talk school
at the Bar and on the corners, your
M. D.'s to prescribe school for tb
sick, and your preachers to preaoi
school from the pulpits, and see to Z
that the matter doesn't stop witt
talking, but let all preachers, doctors,
lawyers, farmers, and men Of every
vocation who have children to edu.
cate meet together, loose their purse
strings, and give literally to the
starting Of High School at Edge
field Village, and in go doing lend q
helping hand in resurrec. ling ard
building up historic old Edgeheld. 4
If, as l have previously said, the
people OF Edgefeld Village will start
first class school there, male and fe
male, and employ the uery best tal9't

distance, who have children to edel
cate, to understand that the school ie
we'll founded, in other words a Per.

"a epasmodic effort; and that it is
not only permanent but as good as
can be found anywhere. Just so aoo4
as this is done you will see many d
those living away, who have childJs5
to educate, pull up stakes. turn i .I|

more intelligent ones Of the vitfas
will bear me up in saying, that tb
could dc nothing that would contr

ture financially, could do nothing tMI
would go quickly, thoroughly and
fectually arouse the place out OF tHi'

start High School there. 3
Do excuse the length to which tbg'
has grown, for really did not intel
to say more than simply to say to { Fss
villagers that this effort to get godd
school there is emphatically moFes
in the right direction, and to exte} d
to them my best wishes.
