Alexander College Property.

The dormitory building and lot of the
Alexander College, Burkesville, were
sold last week for the sum of So, 43O.
Messrs. E. G. Alexander and ]. H.
Harvey purchasers. This was the in
itial step in the disposal Of this valua-
bic plant for many years the pride of
our neighboring city. . The remaining
property will be sold as soon as a pur-
chaser can be found. The college is to
be rebuilt at once at Marrowbone, the
citizens of that enterprising community
having subscribed the sum of $4,000 to
aid in the removal of the college to
that place. Twenty to thirty acres of
land have been secured in the beauti-
full Marrowbone valley to be sold in
lots and otherwise developed in the in
terest of the school The excellent
reputation of the people of that Sec
ton will form an ideal location for the
school. The possibility for buying
homes will doubtless be appreciated by
many good citizens, and the community
will rapidly build up. The Presbyte-
rian church will expend about ten
thousand dollars in buildings and grounds
with annual aid in the running ex-
penses of the school. The Marrow
bone people are to be congratulated on
an outlook that promises so much to
them in an intellectual and material
way.
