A meeting of the stockholders of
the Leakesville Graded High School
was held Saturday Evening for dis
cussing and providing means to fin
ish the School Building. The Board
of Directors reported that the sub.
scriptions had about all been collec-
ted in, and the moneys of the treasu-
ry virtually exhausted This condi-
ton was expected when the present
plans for the building were selected,
but the idea was to proceed and when
the funds gave out, to then devise
some method of tinanceering the work
through. AS the liberality with
which the stockholders subscribed at
the outset had taxed their means
severely, no further subscriptions
were attempted just there and then.
The plan decide upon and being
put into execution was to borrow
money from the bank to an amount
sufficient to fully complete and paint
the building, this done by the per-
sonal endorsement of stockholders on
corporations note.

ture it before other places
have them all in tow. The
two above named bodies are
for one and the same school
and are practically the same
thing, one being creatures of
the School Law and the other
of Corporation law.

What might have resulted in bad
fire disaster for Leakesville was aver
