As the time for the opening Of
the winter and spring session of
the Kentucky Normal College ap-
proaches the people of Louisa are
manifesting the deep interest which
they having always felt in this, the
best school of its kind in the State
One evidence of this interest was
a meeting of our citizens which
was held, on very short notice, in
the college building last Monday
night. A goodly number of our
most prominent people was pres
ant. and the school and its pros
poets were freely discussed. At
this meeting it was demonstrated
very clearly that interest in the K.
n c. is in nowise abated
In one particular thing the kiYd-
ly feeling of our people was plain-
ly shown, and this was TIE matter
OF board for pupils from{ abroad.
The News has the personal assur-
ance of Prof Kennison fhat good
board, at the former rate of $3.50
per week, is pledged for as many as
will come. This positive assurance
should, and viii. set at rest all
doubt on this very vital point An
other citizens meeting in the in
terest of the school will be held at
the same place on next Tuesday
evening, to which every one, men
and women, who is friendly to this
great help to Louisa and the San
dy Valley should go.
In this connection it is well to
state that Prof. Kennison is no
longer an invalid. He has entire
ly recovered from his recent illness,
goes everywhere, a man among men,
and will, when the time comes, as
