There was a good attendance at the
meeting and all present werein hearty
accord with the movement to rebuild
the Academy. Owing TO sensational
statements that the~ work had been
ordered begun, a lack of interest had
interfered with the committee raising
money. 1t is necessary TO raise about
S3,700 and e. h. Carter, of the COM
mittee, reported that 5000 had been
raised. This leaves about 800 to be
subscribed. The committee was in
structed to raise this money at once.
r. X. Jesse reported that he had
seen nearly all who had an interest in
the old site and they had agreed to
relinquish their claims. George Rob-
ertson was employed by the board to
pass on the title Immediately.
The young men who had gotten up
the society Ministries had expected to
assist In establishing a library at the
school, but the board asked them to
donate the proceeds of this entertain
ment to the fund for purchasing the
site. The young men are very anx-
ious for this enterprise to succeed and
we feel sui they will come to the
assistance of the committee.
Prof. Clendenin is ready to proceed
with the work just as soon as he gets
a title to the ground. His idea is to
form a stock company and to have at
least a $685. 600 plant when finished.
The ground given by the citizens is
valued at at least 5000. Prof. Glen
denim puts in 5000 cash. Stock to
the amount OF 5000 or $40, 900 will be
taken and then at least et0, 900 will be
borrowed. This would make a mag
nihcent school. Ali Of people IRE
interested In this matter and quite a
number who have not subscribed
should do so Immediately.
Prof. ]. W. Million was elected q
member OF the Board of Directors Of
the Business Mems Association in
place of y. F. Shireman, resigned.
The secretary Of the Association was

of the Board its appreciation of Mr..

work in behalf of all enterprises pro-
posed in Mexico; also to express the
regrets of the Association at Mr..
Shireman's removal from the city.
