dom aud beauty of our sister county,
Giles, to encourage" him, and some of
the best talent in the state to assist him
this year. We see very encouraging
prospects for the years work and urge
ur.home folks to lend helping hand.
To do this you need only to do your
duty.
Every teacher and every friend
ofeducation ought to subscribe for the
Democrat. 1t takes finance to run this
paper as we propose. 1t is run for the
advancement of the schools and the
business interests of the County.
Lawrenceburg is in sore need of an
Independent public school, and evc,y-
body is in favor of it. but conditions
are such that no action can be taken
this year. The only public school
building, owned by the county in the
Sth, (I.awrencebung) district is that re.
Gently erected by the school board for
the e0ored school. This should not be
the case. DR.. r. II. Harvey who has
been director for many years is.out-
spoken for separate public school and
mt consolidated as at present and we
have no Doubt that the other directors
Mr.. Dunn and Mr.. Meredith entertain
similar opinions about the matter We
have information that the Lawrence
burg College people would also wei
come the separation. Such unity Of
opinion among all of the authorities
means brighter and better things for
Lawrenceburg in future in educational
way, and we should all pull together for
the common andsfaudable end of better
school conditions in the 9Th District.
II we do these conditions will come.
| Dn r. II Harvey who is one of the
Oldest and most highly respected citi-
zrns Of the County and who has been
school director, Justice of the peace,
and SO on for many years was honered
with the embarrassing of the Directors
association recently organized. w. e.
Cannon, another director Of long stan,l.
ling and successful experience was hon.
ored with the Secrctaryship. Now
gentleman when should we have q
meeting of the directors and what
should lie done mt that meeting? These
columns are open to you to suggest
something.
| The republican convention did ex.
supt. Holt the honor to select him fol
the nominee for Circuit Court Clerk
Saturday. That shows whether schools
are coming in for their SHARE of honor
or not Two yesrs ago the democrats
nominated Noah White teacher, who
VS. opposed by G. w. Sweeney, a teach
er, in the general election.
The Pinkney school has been one o
the best in the County for the past fey
/, years. THIS school has been something
IN the nature of consolidated schoo
using public funds and having Also TIN
support of the Pinkney mining people
composed of the Mccormick and others
s The manager at Pinkney, for the Com
pany, Mr.. King has given much Of hi
h time and attention to the school, and
G is to- him that the work of the schoo
largely owes its success. The school
j. conducted in the building fitted up 70
i a club room and is well equipped at tn
expense of the Company. The Gu
L, experiment failed and Mr.. King yer
properly and very successfully turned
iuto a school. The teachers have bcel
: for 1902 Mr.. Smell of Peabody No
t. i
NAL; 1891 Mr.. Annett from son
:, place; l90i-5 Supt. Virgil Holt. I'll
:. system under which the school is mana
ed it is said is practically compulsol
:, education. If conditions continue
improve it is the very worthy am5itio
" and intention of NJ. King to make it
grad, d school. We are 10 sure b
think Prof Molt will teach there aga
liis year.
