The BANNER learns from Capt.
r. G. Clay that q meeting was
held at Independence a few days
since in the interest of the colleges
at that place; that a deep deter
animation was manifested by the
citizens in keeping up the schools,
and that liberal subscriptions were
procured for that pun pose. Col.
Fountain was elected as principal
of the female college and Prof. G.
