lett bill and recommend and urge

zens Take Steps to Have a

hours notice to take steps to

school in Lawtenceburg Mr.. S.
A. Carroll was elected Chairman,
and Jas. d. Vaughan, Secretary.
DR.. h. II. Harvey, as one of
the owners of the college prop
erty East of town made a propo-
sition to sell it to the District for
$4,000 OIL satisfactory terms. DR..
Harvey pointed out the efforts
! and difficulties he had made dur
ing his long service as school di-
rector, and the excellent results
accomplished, but said the time
had now come when Lawrence
burg ought to have and must
have its own school, He showed
with telling emphasis, that if he
and his associates on the Board
of Directors were to select teach
ers for the coming term, we had
no house for them to teach any
school in.
Mr.. Crawford moved that it be
declared the sense of this meeting
of citizens, that steps be taken at
once to establish an independent
free school, separate and apart
from any priyate institution of
learning. The motion was un-
animously carried.e
Prof. Starr, the Oldest but one
the most progressive of Lawrence
County teachers, made a ringing
speech for education and the free
school proposition.
Mr.. ]. f. Busby moved that
the Directors and Superintendent
be empowered and directed tC
take up the question, eAbodied ii
the above motion and devise the
ways and means to enforce it
which was amended so as to have
a committee of five citizens to
act in conjunction with the above
officials, and report to a subse
quent meeting of citizens, to bt
held on next Friday night.
Mr.. G. w. Marshall discussed
the motion, urging prompt actor
in the matter. Ele stood for pro
gress and development, for educa-
tion and elevation of the South
F ern country. His speech was
full of sound facts and was calcu
lated to make a strong Impress
ion ON hi. hearers.
