COUNTY SCHOOL
FOR PIkEvlLLE.

The county of Pike has purchased
property in West Pikeville to the vaiue
OF $1,000 for the purpose of building
new county high school, This means
that two new and thoroughly modern
school buildings will be erected here
during the coming summer. 1t was
the intention of both the town ana
county authorities originally to pur-
chase one lot and consolidate the
schools. When it was learned later
that the town authorities favored pur-
chasing the Robt. Walker lot on
Fourth street, the county authorities
disapproved the plan and made separ-
ate arrangements for building their
own school, and to this end the Ira
Williams property in West Pikeville
was at once taken over. The plans for
this work have not been made pubic,
but both buildings will be erected this
summer.
