ACADEMY ATEMBeDEN
Aletier from Rev. w, N. Wilson concerning
the Academy which IS now on assured
Fact for Tmb0den

= lEt'ti AI"iH IrfH NJ r hs NJ nlir0n e0nfer0LHf r
- the academy which IS now on assured
Fact for Tmboden,
Your readers will be
pleased to hear that this sec
ton of our great stateis soon
to have a school of high
grade. The contract has
been let for the building of
an academy at Imboden.
$40, 900 has been subscribed
for the buildings and equip
ment of this Institution.
Capt, W. G. Sloan has do
mated a beautiful campus Of
about six acres, and on this
campus a two-story brick
academy building and a two
story frame residence for the
principal will be erected in
the next few months; The
equipment will consist of a
library of at least ore thous-
and volumes, of apparatus
for scientific department
costing $3.50 or $500, and of
FIRST class school furniture. /
The school is to be an acad-
emy of high grade. 1t is not
to be high school, but
higher than a high school. |
1t proposes to take the pupil |
afterhe has received his com
mon school course and pre- /
pare him to enter the Sopho-
more class in any of the best
colleges of the land, This
institution has no rival in
this section of Arkansas, be-
cause we have no other
school prepared or proposing
to do the same character of
work. Many of the so called
colleges of the state cannot
offer better advantages.
This institution is under the
control OF the trustees of
Hendrix College who are es-
tablishing such academies IN
several places in the State.
The academy at Imboden be-
longs to and is established
for Sharp, Lawrence and
Randolph counties. Its
teachers will be men who hail
from Sharp county, so her
citizens ought to feel a deep
interest in its welfare,
There is now no doubt
about the buildings being
completed and arrangements
have been made to open
school about the last week in
September. We hope to
have the endorsement and
patronage of the people Of {
Sharp county. The Manag- t
ing Committee still have
about twenty town lots to he
sold. These lots sell for the
uniform price of S10O per lot,
and the proceeds are expeud-
ed in the work of building {
and equipping the institu- C
tion. +
Any one desiring any
further information or wish
ing to invest in valuable town I
property and at the same
time help a good cause may
be accommodated by writing
to me at Imboden, Ark.
Very Respectfully,
w M Wilson

Some people here seem to
think that the Arkansas Leg

such a late spring. We
don't know about this. but
there is one thing it did do;
it proved beyond a doubt
that there is a set of men in

able to stand anything, and
with cheek enough to ask the
government to pension them
for injuries received.
