Says the Walton Tribune publish
ed at Monroe, Ga:
THE numerous friends Of Prof.
w. Il. Dendy In Monroe and through
out the State appreciate very highly
the compliment paid him by the trus-
tees Of the Fifth District Agricultu-
raj School In choosing him as presi-
dent of that institution, and even
though he did not accept the place
because he felt that his duty lay
elsewhere, his selection was none the
less q, splendid tribute to his popu-
larity as O man and his superb abil-
ity as teacher.
prof. Dendy realized the fact that
the district schooi offered big op-
portunities, and that 1t was field
Of great promise, and but for his con-
nection with the Monroe public
schools he would have readily ac-
cepted; but the unanimity Of the
local board in asking him to remain,
together with their appreciation OF
his good work since he has been at
the head Of the schools, coupled with
his own conception of duty IN the
premises, caused him to decide TO
remain.
prof. Dendy has been in Monroe
only few months, but during that
time he has made hundreds of friends
and has distinguished himself as an
educator Of splendid ability"

ing monument at her grave. l beg
each society to take a collection and
every Sunshiner In the State to con-
tribute. especially want every

president should have O monument
by the Sunshiners of the State. Do

down and say will give something,

Donnelly claims Robb's belt Is worth

nificent trophy was presented Sullivan
on July 4, 1887, the year before he
fought Charley Mitchell at Chantllly,
