an encouraging increase over that Ol
last session.
Prof. w. +. Mcdonald, the new
principal, who taught for the past two
sessions at Appomattox Courthouse
not only comes TO us most highly
recommended, but has already pro-
duced a most pleasant impression up
on those who have met him. Hehas
set out with the determination to
build up the school both i'm members
and in quality Of work done, and we
bespeak for him the sympathetic CO.
operation of the patrons Of the school
and of all good citizens Of our town
who desire TO see an important public
institution made Of increasing benefit
to its citizens. An able faculty con-
sisting Of Misses Fannie Walker aud
Louie Morris, who have been teach
ing in the school for several years, and
Misses Verser and Garrett, who come
to us highly recommended, assure us
that the efforts of the principal to
build up the school will receive most
valuable aid from his assistants.
The Leigh District High School al
Green Bay opened on Tuesday with
four teachers, Mr.. Robt. o. Lucke,
principal, and Misses Pearle Shell
bume, Mamie Taylor and Sallie Bid
good as assistants.
While the patrons and trustees OF
the school regret very much that Prof
Reed Edmunds declined to accept the
school for another session, they are to
be congratulated in securing Mr.
Lucke, member Of last years senior
class at Hampden-Sidney College, to
succeed him. Mr.. Lucke has already
produced most favorable impression
in the community, and with his fouI
able assistants To second his efforts,
will conduct no doubt most excellent
school.

will open on the LIST day Of October
and all the colored teachers are TO meet
at Green Bay at 10 A. NJ. on Sep, Both

them to be endorsed by the superln-
tendent.

with the superintendent on Wednes-
day at the Worsham High School.
Prof. Tulane Atkinson, who conduct
ed the school with such success las
session will have charge again with
Misses Maude Fowlkes, Edith Duyal
and Sallie Dickinson as assistants
After a thorough canvass Of the stu
alton it was found that most OF the
patrons in the Felden neighborhood
would still be able to patronize the
school although the school wagon has
to be discontinued on account OF lack
Of funds, and the Board therefore de
cided to appoint a fourth teacher fol
the Worsham school, and were fortu
nate i'm securing the services Of Miss
Sallie b. Dickinson as LIST assistant.
Miss Bessie Rucker was appointed
to the Throck school and Miss Mabe
Vaughan to the Abilene school. Miss
Mamie McCraw had already been ap
pointed to the school she taught last
