Our School.

The ratification meeting Mon
day evening at the Institute was
well attended and shows o degree
of enthusiasm that is certainly de-
sirable. The erection of such a
school building by funds, hard
earned, taken from the pockets of
individuals is a step taken in the
right direction and if followed up
will bring us to our proper rank
with other towns of the state.
In handling the subject, "Why
Savannah must have first class
school," ID. w. Broyles convinced
the audience that the town was
capable of sustaining a tirst-cl
school and should do it.
"The work we wish TO do here"
was fully explained by Mr.. Spen.
Ger who pointed ont the work
that could be done in plain and
practical language.
, 1T was under the head of "We
need your cooperation" that gave
Mr.. Woodside an opportunity to
show clearly the need of assist
ance from all alike to maintain a
school.
John 7, Hardin argued for the
establishment of a county high
school and clearly demonstrated
the great advantage to be gained
therefrom.
In a short talk Capt j. w.

good school and the splendid re-
suits to be gained therefrom.
III. Il. Williams financial report
shows the expenditure of $3.50
on the building and lot so far.
The fund has been exhausted
and about 5000 yet needed to
complete necessary work. If the
building is heated from the base
ment as contemplated a further
expense of nearly $1,000 will be
necessary.
Rev. Stowe closed the meeting
with few remarks commencing
the people on the splendid struct-
ure erected by them and what it
shows to outsiders. He paid our
well equipped faculty a high and
deserved compliment and en-.
couraged the people to sustain
them in their noble work.
