The foregoing call is the elimination
of unorganized agitation in favor of a
normal college for Audubon. 1t is de-
sired that there be full attendance
and free expression on the part of the
citizens OF Audubon and surrounding
country The object well deserves the
interest and attention of every man
and woman in Audubon county The
city and country schools are full of
children who within short time will
be in need of higher education. Very
few of them will be able to secure it if
compelled to attend distant college.
Not all nf tbnn, anuiI nunn thnmonlyno
of local opportunity, but the proper
ton who would seek u home college
course would give Audubon county
fame because OF the accomplishment
of its young people. IL will lit them to
become better and more useful citizens,
to strive adyantageously in the battle
of life.
A college adjoining either of the sew
| eral stately sites available would be IN
ornament and u benefit which cannot
be 0verestimated. The city and its cit,
| liens have prospered. The general in
terests of the community have been
well conserved; churches and public
schools of the best grade, public and
private buildings attest the fnct of u
| prosperous and well.to do community,
and as u browning achievement OF tho
| pushing and enterplising populaCo
nothing coult, exceed IN lasting benefits
| the establishment OF u college TO be en-.
| ioycd by The whole county and by sue
cceding generations IL would make
the young people Of the county in point
Of accomplishment, and we claim
everything in natural ability the peers
Of any they might meet In the diverse
paths of life. 1t would be an accom-
plishment, with benefits inestimable
and open to all.
However, there are none to dispute
the wisdom or discourage the promo
ton of the enterprise. Everybody in
tercsted In the welfare and education
of the young Is in favor of pushing the
movement. Every church organiza-
| ton, every society and every individual,
and all who have interest In building
up Audubon, where they have prosper
ed and where they expect to remain,
should unite In this effort to secure
public and private good. II promises
greater benefits than railroad or fac
tory. Come ont TO the town meeting
next Monday evening ut court house
hall and give the enterprise encourage
ment, and ways and means will be
forthcoming.
