THE BLUE RIDGE SCHOOL.
Citizen Of Old Bear Swamp Welcomes

Blue Ridge, Jan. S.-Special

The Christmas visitors have about
all gone to their respective homes
except those who don't aim to 90

Blue Ridge is the name given to
our new school district created by the
consolidation of Bear Swamp, Brewer
and ConcroSs districts, which OF
course does away with the three
above named districts. The consoli-
dating of the three districts was for
the purpose OF establishing and run
ming a graded school, which is now
in full blast.
The building IS situated on a lot
containing one and siXty-five Onc-hun-
dredths Of an acre, laid off in cir
Gle, and sloping gradually from the
building, making 1t a most ideal site
and giving a beautiful and pictur-
esQue view from all points. looking

gaze one will behold and admire the
unbroken range Of the grand old Blue

They have employed as principal of

Mr.. Boyd is we'll qualified to flll this
