Miss Lila Twins School.

Editor Of the Courier:-Our community
was highly entertained on Friday night, Oct,
Ist, by the closing exercises Of Miss Lila
Irwrns school at Oakland, and we deem it
due the energetic and cultured young teacher
to make public the fact that she has given
the greatest satisfaction, and pleased her
every patron. Being graduate Of the State
Normal Institute, & University Of Tennessee,
she reflects high honor on the same. She
is fully abreast with the latest and most APP
proved methods Of mind training; governing,
with gentle, yet firm discipline and awaken
ing the latent I'M bition Of the
stud ent, and then wisely directing and
guiding his expanding energies into the chan
nels Of wisdom. Besides her religious nAu-
ence among her pupils has been felt and APP
precated. Miss Lila's efforts to educate our
young people have uiet with such universal
satisfaction and approval that she has been
engaged to teach the next term, beginning in a
! few weeks and continuing for six months.
Preparations are being made to erect a
more commodious school building.
We extend thanks to Rev. John Alexander
for the soul-stirring speech delivered to the
school and patrons; also to the band for the
nice music rendered on the occasion.

A Stave Factory would pay
i'm Savannah.

Savannah is the best location
for Stave Factory we know of.
Our timber is fine, transportation
cheap, and the beauty of it, stave
timbers can be shipped here from
all points along the Tennessee riv-
er. A stave factory would give EN-
plOyment to a number Of hands,
and would put good deal of
ready cash in circulation. The lit
tie town Of Centreville, has a stave
factory which runs the greater
part of its time, day and night.
Every Saturday night the pay roll
for hands employed and for tim.
bers average from $500, to $1,000
cash, which circulates in the coun
ty. They pay rs per cord fol
stave timbers delivered on the
yard.
Let our people investigate this
matter, and go TO work to secure
an enterprise of this kind. The
! Courier will do its part.
