THE AUnUpN SCHOOL.
Situated in a Fine Neiehborhood Amid
the Most Hcalthiul Surroundings.

The citizens Of Auburn, better
known as Adams Camp Ground, have
caught afresh the educational spirit
and have determined, at least, to keep
mp with the procession which is headed
for progress along all educational
lines; indeed there are some among US
who aspire to place our community in
the very van of the procession. At
meeting of the. patrons of the Auburn
Graded High School it was determined
to take steps to enlarge our school
building and to equip it with the very
latest and best of school furniture.
A large two-story dormitory will be
erected and an earnest effort will be
made to build up school that shall be
as nearly ideal as practicable; where
those having sons and daughters to
educate can feel that in sending them
here they will not only get the very
best educational training but also will
be where their physical, moral and
religious welfare will be safely con-
served.
AS ours is rural community some
may not know where Auburn is. 1t is
equidistant from and between Liberty
and Brookhaven, twenty miles from
either place on the old Liberty and
Jackson road and nine miles west of
Summit. Our school, though located
| in Lincoln, receives patronage from
four counties-Amite, Pike, Franklin
and Lincoln. It is in the pine woods,
though we'll watered by the Amite
river and tributary creeks. The soil
is fertile, yielding abundant crops of
everything usually produced in this
climate.
We claim a remarkable health
record. For years our people have
been exempt from malaria and enterlc
diseases. Weare law-abiding people.
1t is asserted by our Oldest citizens
that for thirty years no jury has ever
found bill of indictment against any
of our people.
We have two churches where preach
ing services are held every Sabbath,
with two prayer meetings and Sab
bath schools and an Epworth League.
For at least twenty years our people
have conducted weekly prayer meet
ing aud Sunday school, a fact which
very few places can truthfully claim
even in our towns. Our atmosphere is
too pure to make the existence OF
saloon or even a blind tiger possible.
This writer does not know of anyone
within radius of several miles who
habitually drinks Intoxicating bev-
erages to excess. No young man of
this generation reared here has ever
made a drunkard or been convicted of
any crime or misdemeanor.
Besides the churches we have the
largest and most commodious taber-
nacle in the State, for the accommoda-
ton of the large congregations which
attend services during the summer.
| We have a Masonic Lodge, also a
Camp of the Woodmen of the World,
both of which enjoy large member
ship. There are the homes for preach
ers occupied by ministers who fear
God and work for righteousness. We
have a competent physician. The
stores are doing f1ourishing business.
For several years our young men have
had brass band organized, domiciled
in handsome building of their own,
neatly painted, where they meet to
practice and, incidentally, regale our
citizens with sweet music. We are
connected by long distance telephone
with the surrounding towns and cities.
We invite an investigation of our
claims and sincerely commend our
school and community to all who are
DESTROYS of moving, either temporarily
or permanently, where they may Sc
cure the very best mental and moral
education for their children.
To those interested, further informa-
ton will be given by
