law the state gives one dollar for
each dollar raised by the county
school.
The above amount is the largest
ever raised for library purposes
lin the history of the county.
Superintendent McMahan has
just placed an order with a library
firm for 1898 and other orders will
60 forward soon.
The Rankin school and Tan
merry School will give box supper
this week for the purpose of rails
ing funds for libraries, and it is
expected that all the schools of
the county will fall in line and OBJ
tain their share of the States ap-
preparation.

Rowe Ruble, on upper Cosby, re-
Gently raised 1923. so, proceeds of
a box supper. Prof. j. w. Phillips.
at Hartford had an ice cream sup
per and raised $50. 90. The.North-
port School raised on last Friday
night $16. IS. A cake sold for &c.
70. The cake was baked by Mrs.
Shell Clark and donated to the
school. Wilsonville School recent
ly raised at box supper $14.3O.
The Box Supper is proving a
great method in raising funds for
this purpose.
Mr.. McMahan hopes to see
every school in the county with a
good library as the books are of
great value to both the teacher
and pupil. The people Of this
county are wide awake on the
subject of school matters, and no.
where is there shown greater in
terest by the teachers.
Parents of school children
should give every encouragement
along this line in helping their
school to obtain a library.
