Athens School is Prosperous.

Athens people interested in educational
matters have been aroused over the re-
cent action of the Methodist conference
with reference to the consolidation of
the church schools, although no real an
xiety is felt as to the continued pros
perity of Athens Female college. 1T is
recognized that in considering the re-
moval of the institution from Tuskegee
to Montgomery the conference has done
a wise thing, as it has long been recog
nized as an untenable point for female
education on account of the proximity
of Booker Washngtons school, but the
ppeople of Athens, rejoicing in the
wonderful prosperity of their college, and
in the fact that it is virtually the only
institution of this character in all North
Alabama, do not look upon the Mont
gomery move as likely to produce a much
more formidable rival than the present
institution at Tuskegee, or the Judson
at Marion.

ton of the state. with railroad facilities
